Frank Wicks, professor of mechanical engineering, has authored two recent cover stories in Mechanical Engineering, the journal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In the July issue, he wrote "First Flight" about the 50-year controversy over who should get credit for the first practical airplane, an honor that eventually went to Orville and Wilbur Wright. In the September issue, Wicks wrote "Full Circuit" about the rivalry between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse and how elements of their respective original electrical systems may one day form a more perfect power system.
