The members past and present of the American College of Clinical Engineering are the organization's greatest asset, an assemblage of the finest engineers and craftspersons of the art form. On this page the ACCE pays homage to those members who have passed away.

 I am very sorry to report to the members the passing away of our founding member David Harrington recently. As for many in the Clinical Engineering, Dave had been my mentor and very generous friend and colleague. He helped me in so many ways in my professional career. For many years, Dave and I alternatively (every other month) wrote articles in 24x7 magazine on CBET and CCE Preparation topics.

 Marvin began his career in the 1960s and is certainly one of the pioneers in clinical engineering. After graduating from a Fire Safety college program and becoming a professional engineer (P.E.) in California, he transitioned into the application of his newly gained knowledge to the bedside environment and to the prevention of failure modes of medical devices while being connected to patients.
