Emack also played bass guitar in the OC band withCompton.The electrical engineering professor in charge of the System I course that semester was ArtSheldon. Professor Sheldon helped get the approval for Compton proposal, but saw that it wasoverly ambitious for the three-semester project. Professor Sheldon made sure that ProfessorNored was the “customer” and mentor for the project. They revised the scope from a full productdevelopment to a proof-of-concept design. The aim was to force the students to thoroughlyexamine the technology, and to give them an achievable objective. They also assigned two moremembers to the team, believing
