Dr. Arthur Winston has been an integral part of The Gordon Institute since its founding in 1984. He was instrumental in the design and development of the Institute's innovative curriculum, and he played a key role in transitioning the program to the Tufts University campus in 1992. Winston recently received the The National Academy of Engineering's Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education for his role in helping to create the Gordon Instiute. He also received the IEEE Major Innovation Education Award in 1995 for his work in the design and development of The Gordon Institute.
An IEEE and IEE (UK) fellow, he is a recognized expert in the fields of instrumentation and measurement among other areas. Coupled with his 35 years of academic experience, Winston has over forty years of experience in the development of instrumentation for global use. He has worked for leading technology-driven organizations, including The Bell Telephone Company of Canada, The Radio and Electrical Engineering Division of the National Research Council of Canada, MIT, Schlumberger, The National Research Corporation, and Allied Research Corporation (Boeing). He co-founded several companies, including Space Sciences and IKOR (Omniwave), and has served in a variety of high level corporate and technical positions. During his industrial career, he was personally responsible for the development of the Apollo Heat Shield Temperature Measurement System, which monitored the head shield upon re-entry, and the development and implementation of a worldwide nuclear test monitoring system that permitted the US to participate in SALT talks. He has simultaneously held positions at Northeastern University, where he taught over 5000 engineering students and set program standards. He has produced over 100 papers and presentations and holds three patents.
