As a young man, Richard Miller wanted to build things, so he thought he should become an architect. "I thought architects made buildings," he says. Fortunately, his high school physics teacher invited a civil engineering professor to speak to the class about the work that engineers do. It was a pivotal moment for Miller. "I knew then that I wanted to be an engineer," he says. He earned a civil engineering degree from Cleveland State University, and then moved to Evanston, 111., to pursue his masters and doctorate degrees in structures and materials at Northwestern University. During this time, he spent a year in the nuclear power industry. |
