F. Suzanne Jenniches (born 1949) is an American engineer who served from April 2, 2003 to 2010 as the Vice President and General Manager of Government Systems Division of Northrop Grumman Corp.'s Electronic Systems sector. She holds a patent for laser soldering. She was the only woman to take engineering evening classes at Johns Hopkins University in the 1970s. She was among the first women to do so at that University. She was both the first female engineer and, therefore, the first intern at Westinghouse Electric Company. She is one of the first female leaders at Northrop Grumman, and considered a pioneer by the Society of Women Engineers. ==Early life== The firstborn of one son and two daughters, Jenniches is the first in her family to have a college degree. Her parents both graduated from high school and owned their own business. Running a business required long, 12-14 hour work days. Jenniches learned the value of work ethic through her parents. Jenniches's parents also taught her personal responsibility. They told her that if there was a problem at school, then she must have contributed to it- Every Christmas, Jenniches' father, a mechanic with a service station garage and correspondence trade school student, gave her a power tool as a present. When she moved on to college, she brought the tools with her: sanders, circular saws, miter boxes, drills, and other equipment. Atypical for women at the time, it was Jenniches, not her husband, who supplied mechanical tools for the household. In high school, Jenniches's guidance counselor encouraged her to go to college. Therefore, when Clarion recruiters visited her school, Jenniches accepted their invitation and applied to one school. She received a full scholarship. In hindsight, even though her engineering career ultimately succeeded, she regretted the early aimlessness and lack of planning. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suzanne Jenniches」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
