<span>Dr. Cohen received a B.S. in electrical engineering from MIT. For his bachelor's thesis, he designed operational amplifiers using discrete transitors, a design later used in the Electronic Systems Laboratory at MIT. In 1963, large-scale integrated circuit microprocessors did not exist, except as a subject of research. Dr. Cohen was awarded a Masters in Instrumentation from the Case Institute of Technology in 1967. His thesis </span><span>was entitled, Identification of a Large-Signal Nonlinear Model of a Heat Exchanger (cataloged as Determination of a Large Signal Nonlinear Model). While at the Case Institute of Technology, Dr. Cohen served in the Cleveland Tutorial Project, which aided minority high school students. After graduation, he began his professional career with the Foxboro Company Research Center. He subsequently became a Senior Application Consultant.</span>
