Melissa A. Charles

Melissa A. Charles, graduate of Morgan State University, distinguished herself early in her career with The Boeing Company when she helped develop flight hardware and ceramic filter technology for advanced communications receivers. Her work won her recognition in 1994, when she was named "Most Promising" by the Black Engineer of the Year Awards Selection Panel. She has not disappointed them. Today, she is deputy director of passive microwave devices for Boeing Electron Dynamic Devices, responsible for about 90 program managers, scientists, designers, engineers, technicians, and planners. She earned her B.Sc. in electrical engineering from Morgan in 1991 and continues to give back to the school as an active member of the University Alumni Association.
