It all started in 1952 when Aivars Leo Pelds was taking his first mechanical engineering class at Iowa State College. On the first day, his instructor asked the class to draw-with excruciatingly tiresome detail-the threads of a screw. As Leo glanced forlornly out the window at the fine autumn day, the instructor declared, Get used to doing this. This is what you will be doing the rest of your life. Leo noticed that outside the window, a land surveying class was enjoying the beautiful day as they learned their trade.
