Anna Longobardo Oral History Description An account of the resource In 1949 Anna Longobardo was the first woman to receive a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Columbia University. She also received her master's degree from Columbia in 1952. She quickly entered the new area of analog and digital computer applications and has since made major contributions to the aerospace engineering field. Her many specializations include the utilization of engineering resources. After 15 years as a systems engineer at American Bosch Arma Corporation, where she worked on guidance systems for space vehicles, Longobardo joined Sperry Rand Corp. In her 25-plus years at Sperry, which became Unisys Corporation in 1986, Longobardo held a number of positions in areas of technology management, at one time directing a staff of 750. Longobardo holds many distinctions as a woman engineer. In 1963 Governor Rockefeller appointed her to the New York State Women's Council; from 1966-1970 she was Director of the Technical Societies Council of New York; and she was named one of New York's "100 Women of Influence" by New York Woman magazine in 1986. She has been an active member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Joint Engineering Management Committee, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, as well as SWE, of which she was one of the original charter student members.
