Other leadership experiences included Dean of Engineering at the University of Arizona University of Florida and Southern Methodist University. During World War II he served in the Army and was awarded a Bronze Star. After the war he attended Stanford University where he received his Ph.D. He was a Fellow of IEEE and an honoree in the Hall of Fame of ASEE. Martin's multidimensionality is evidenced by his authorship of eight books including Strategy for Survival Ultrahigh Frequency Engineering and Electronic Circuits. Donald C.

Previously he was with the Riverside Research Institute in 1980-1981; division vice president engineering at RCA Corp. government systems division in Moorestown NJ 1978-1980; director of engineering at Martin Marietta Aerospace Orlando division in 1977-1978; Deputy Chief Office of Microwave Space and Mobile Systems Department of Defense in 1974-1977; Chief Engineering Staff National Security Agency European Headquarters in 1971-1974; and at Martin Marietta Aerospace Orlando division in 1963-1971. This book was regarded at the time published as a comprehensive summary of available facts on civil defense and thermonuclear war woven together into a coherent picture of the total problem. The authors are engineers who attempt to prove first that civil defense preparedness is both necessary and practical and that all of the necessary technical knowledge is available to provide an adequate and economically feasible system of protective shelters; second that a civil defense system will require a very long time for completion; and third that although there are many varieties of civil defense situations there is no situation that cannot be solved by known engineering principles.
