He is a board member at Stony Brook University and Polytechnic Institute of NYU, and a trustee at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and at the University of California at San Diego.
Swartz represented high tech companies at the 1986 conference co-sponsored by the White House and the Department of Education to stimulate minority opportunities in technology. Swartz received the 1990 Tech Island Award from the IEEE for "Turning Ideas into Reality," and was the 1995 IEEE Wheeler Award winner. In 1996, he was named an IEEE Fellow, that organization's highest technology honor. In 1998, Swartz received the IEEE's prestigious Ernst Weber Leadership Award for career achievement, and in 2000 he was honored with an IEEE Third Millennium Medal for outstanding technical achievement. Also in 2000, Swartz was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for "Distinguished Contributions to Engineering." In 2001, he was awarded the first annual Eureka Award by the New York Academy of Sciences.
Swartz served as the project manager on NASA’s Apollo Space Radiation Warning System program. He then ran an independent consulting firm with projects ranging from Space Shuttle experiments to specialty lens design, aircraft collision avoidance systems, patient monitoring electronics and the design of a computer-automated camera for producing UPC bar code film masters. He went on to co-found Stony Brook Applied Research, which was later renamed Symbol Technologies.
Swartz patented and led the development of the first hand-held barcode laser scanner, a data capture productivity tool now common in myriad applications across diverse global markets. Under his direction through the 1980s, Symbol also pioneered and patented the world's first hand-held, scanner-integrated wireless computer and the first spread spectrum wireless LAN (WiFi), enabling real-time mobile data-transactions. He also led the development of the first commercially accepted wearable computer, which combines a ring scanner worn on the finger and a wireless LAN-based, wrist-mounted computer for handling-intensive barcode & voice over IP applications.
Swartz patented and was instrumental in the development of PDF417, the high capacity, two-dimensional bar code symbology that encodes more than a kilobyte of machine-readable data in a postage stamp-sized symbol. He also patented and drove the development of the portable shopper self-checkout system, which allows customers to scan their own items in the aisles as they shop, to bypass traditional checkout lanes.
Swartz is a recognized expert in the allied engineering physics fields of electro-optics, laser systems and optical design, with particular application to new product development. He is credited with more than 200 U.S. patents and is the author of some 30 published papers.

| Joel S. Engel |
1964 |
- Electrical Engineer, Today's cellular communications industry would not be what it is without the contributions made by Richard H. Frenkiel and Joel S. Engel, former employees of AT&T's Bell Laboratories. His career began at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, where he worked on inertial guidance and stabilization systems. He pursued a Ph.D. at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, which he received in 1964. At that time, Bellcomm was being staffed to assist NASA on the Apollo program, and, because of his background at Polytechnic and MIT, he was asked to transfer to Bellcomm, where he worked on the spacecraft guidance system. In 1967, he returned to Bell Laboratories, where he investigated the system design aspects of cellular mobile radio, doing analysis on such subjects as optimum cell layouts, optimum channel bandwidth, frequency reuse, and position locating techniques. He supervised the group that produced a comprehensive technical filing with the FCC that covered the system architecture, detailed design parameters, and the theory and field measurements on which they were based. In November of 1973, he was the Guest Editor of a special joint issue of the IEEE Transactions on Communications and on Vehicular Technology dedicated to mobile radio.
His dealings with the FCC and other branches of the government on mobile radio had given him considerable experience in regulatory matters, and, from 1973 to 1975, he had a rotational assignment at AT&T as Manager of Corporate Planning Studies, analyzing regulatory trends. In 1975, he returned to Bell Laboratories as Department Head of Research, where he was responsible for technical management of a variety of products and services.
In 1983, he became Vice President of Engineering for Satellite Business Systems; in 1986, Satellite Business Systems was merged into MCI and he became Vice President of Research & Development for MCI. In these positions, he has been responsible for technical planning and development. Dr. Engel is co-recipient of the 1987 Alexander Graham Bell Medal, along with Richard H. Frenkiel and William C. Jakes, Jr., "For fundamental contributions to the theory, design and deployment of cellular mobile communications systems."

1948 |
- Electrical Engineer, Pioneer of satellite communications.
Sidney Metzger specialized in the development of communications systems, including the equipment used on Project SCORE (Signal Communications by Orbiting Relay Equipment), the world’s first communications satellite.
Metzger began his career in 1939 as a civilian engineer with the U.S. Army Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth, N.J., where he worked on radio-relay communication technology. He oversaw the implementation of SIGSALY, a telecommunication system used in World War II to prevent the enemy from listening in to conversations between Allied officers.
After the war, he became manager of the radio relay department at ITT Federal Labs, in Nutley, N.J., where he designed microwave relay equipment.
He left in 1954 to become manager of the communications and engineering department in the Astro-Electronics Division of RCA Laboratories, in Princeton, N.J. While there, he managed the design and assembly of communication equipment on Project SCORE, which was launched by the United States in 1958 in response to the launch of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik satellite a year earlier.
He also helped design the communications equipment for TIROS, the world’s first weather satellite, and RELAY 1, which broadcast television coverage of U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s funeral to Japan and Europe.
Metzger left RCA in 1963 to join Communications Satellite Corp., known as COMSAT, in Washington, D.C., as manager of the engineering division. He retired in 1982 as vice president and chief scientist.
