Dr. Amar G. Bose, electrical engineer, sound engineer and entrepreneur, addresses students in his MIT acoustics' class, during the last class of the Fall 1995 semester. He uses the occasion to take off his academic hat and share some advice that he says he wishes someone had told him when he was about to graduate. He also invites his teaching assistants to offer their own insights and encouraging recommendations. Dec. 15, 1996. [T2369]
