Keith
Worth
Hello, I'm Keith
Worth. I grew up for most of my childhood in Yuma,
Arizona. Although Yuma has a formidable reputation
for any aficionado of the old west genre because of
the notorious Yuma Territorial Prison, I found Yuma
to be a wonderful place to grow up. Its environs
taught me to love the unique and fragile beauty of
the desert, mountains, and deep, distant skies of
the southwest. It also gave me a great sense of
"Yuma"!
I left Yuma in 1974 after
completing an A.A.S. degree from Arizona Western
College. I completed bachelor and master degrees
from the College of Engineering at Arizona State
University by 1986. Along the way I worked as a
professionally certified broadcast communications
engineer for major (and not so major) radio and
television concerns in the southwest...from San
Diego to Phoenix. I joined the faculty at
Scottsdale Community College in 1983 to teach in
and later coordinate the Electronic/Microprocessor
Technology program. I also completed Motorola's
"Train the Trainer" program and acted as a
technical trainer and consultant for both Motorola
and Intel in such diverse areas as SPC and RF
plasma systems. By 1994 I had completed over 40
hours of additional college work in mathematics,
physics, and computer science after which I became
a permanent member of the mathematics department at
Scottsdale Community College.
I am a past member of the
Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) and have held
professional certification from them as a Broadcast
Engineer. I am currently a member of the American
Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), MAA,
AMATYC, and ARIZMATYC. I have given presentations
at several state-level AMATYC-affiliated
conferences including ARIZMATYC, NEWMATYC, and
MOMATYC. I am also presenting (with Anne Dudley) at
the national AMATYC conference in Pittsburgh this
fall.
As I said before...my
interests include anything to do with outdoors in
the desert southwest. I also deeply enjoy and
appreciate my family. I like reading philosophy,
science fiction, historical fiction, and
fantasy.
