the curriculum, computer engineering-related electives, and senior design, his focus in the classroom is to ignite passion in his students for engineering and design through his own enthusiasm, open-ended student-selected projects, and connecting engineering to the world around them. He spends a great deal of time looking for ways to break out of the traditional engineering mold and to make engineering more broadly accessible to students. His research interest is the application of mobile computing to interesting, human-focused problems. He holds three degrees in computer engineering including graduate degrees from Virginia Tech and an undergraduate degree from NC State University. c

Weekly laboratory activities mirror the lecture materials.Part of the requirements in the course includes an end-of-semester team design project where onepossible option is the design and implementation of an automated test & measurement system for apower supply and control board (PSCB). For this project, students design and build the PSCB tomeet these requirements: one DC output voltage, one function generator output with user selectablewaveform type (sinusoidal, triangular, square waveform) and user selectable amplitude andfrequency adjustments, four simultaneous TTL outputs

Many young graduates are confronted with the difficult tasksof learning the design process of their new employer, while trying to adapt to a new set ofbusiness priorities and metrics not associated with their educational experience. This course isdesigned to place them in a position of design responsibility on a multi-talented team, while theydirect a project from the point of establishing a comprehensive requirement to demonstration of aproduct. In a single semester, they are exposed to targeted research, project budgeting andscheduling, formal oral reviews, design audits, documentation processes and team organization.Industry sponsorship provides a meaningful use for the student product, budgets to allow creativesolutions to be

During the course, a student team defines a problem, plans an approach,develops a solution, and validates their solution, which culminates in oral and writtendissemination.
