age 14. He attended Caltech, where his adviser was Nobel Prize winner Linus

After receiving his BS and MS at Caltech, Mickley went on to receive his PhD
in chemical engineering from MIT and was asked to join the faculty. In 1963,
he was named chairman of the faculty at MIT and Ford Professor of Engineering.

At MIT, his brainchild was the creation of the Center for Advanced Engineering
Studies, which developed educational programs for practicing engineers,
scientists and managers in industry, government and educational institutions
to attain and maintain the competence needed to exert technological
leadership. One of his great strengths was his command of the advanced
mathematics required to analyze complex chemical systems. As a result, he was
the lead author of the textbook _Applied Mathematics in Chemical Engineering_,
written more than 50 ...
