Margaret Eller Oral History Description An account of the resource Margaret Eller spent her career in the field of engineering graphics and drafting. Having first attended the University of Michigan School of Architecture, Eller went on to receive a B.S. from Wayne State University and a M.S. in engineering graphics from the Illinois Institute of Technology. She worked as a draftsman, engineering illustrator, and technical writer from during WWII until the mid 1950s. Working for such companies as General Motors, Eller conducted and supervised the design layout of tools, fixtures, aircraft parts, and auto bodies. In the 1950s, Eller began her teaching career at a local high school where she taught architectural and mechanical drafting before moving on to an assistant professorship at Ferris State University in engineering graphics. Eller retired from academia at Louisiana State University in 1980, where she also taught engineering graphics as the first female faculty in the College of Engineering. After retirement, she again worked in industry as an associate design draftsman in charge of patent drawings for SoGraph Design in Baton Rouge, LA. Eller was a 1952 charter member of the Detroit SWE section and was active both nationally and locally within SWE for 30 years. She was recognized in 1987 by the Society of Engineering Illustrators for outstanding contributions to the engineering illustration profession.
