10 Hartford Business Journal • June 15, 2015 www.HartfordBusiness.com To view the full list, please visit HartfordBusiness.com THE LIST that you can have a very technical career, but that doesn't mean you turn into Amy Farrah Fowler from "The Big Bang Theory." If you like fashion, dress nicely. If you like to shop, go shopping. If you like to cook, garden, workout, whatever, you can do all of those things and still have a technical career. You aren't labeled as just a nerd. The career you choose is what you do, not who you are. Some of the highest executive positions are held by women who started as engineers and scientists. Q: How can Connecticut businesses take advantage of new technology? A: Technologies such as additive manu- facturing present exciting opportunities for Pratt & Whitney and our suppliers. For example, at the University of Connecticut, we established the Pratt & Whitney Additive Manufacturing Innovation Center. UConn faculty and students and Pratt & Whitney employees work together on R&D projects with metal additive manufacturing. Local businesses are encouraged to take advan- tage of opportunities such as working with the center, where they can tour the facility and build some of their own hardware with the additive machines. n Q&A: Oswald Largest patent holders in Connecticut (Ranked by number of 2014 utility patents granted to companies with Connecticut-based inventors.
