Engineers Needed in Charlotte

1973 (the year I graduated with a BSEE) We live in an ever changing technology world – and the Engineers of tomorrow (especially the electrical and computer engineers) will lead the way Comparison of 1973 to today 1973 (the year I graduated with a BSEE) Jet travel -747 Jet Skyscrapers Long tall bridges Modern highways Transistor radios GM, Ford, and Chrysler dominated the market -very powerful engines but poor quality Color TV – 25 inch 4 TV channels – ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS Space travel – first man on the moon in 1969 CB radios – 14 to 28 channels total 8-track audio tape players Slide rule for scientific calculations Typewriter for reports One phone company – ATT, the Bell System Industrial computers - tape or punch card programming Film cameras and expensive developing Libraries Early satellites

How numerical calculations were made in 1973 A slide rule

How phone calls were made in 1973 A classic Bell Telephone black rotary home phone

How reports were done in 1973 A classic typewriter

How photographs were made Film Camera with film cartridge

1973 (the year I graduated with a BSEE) Today We live in an ever changing technology world – and the Engineers of tomorrow (especially the electrical and computer engineers) will lead the way Comparison of 1973 to today 1973 (the year I graduated with a BSEE) Jet travel -747 Jet Skyscrapers Suspension bridges Modern highways Transistor radios Ford, GM, and Chrysler autos dominated the market Color TV – 25 inch 4 TV channels – ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS Space travel – first man on the moon in 1969 CB radios 8-track audio tape players Slide rule for scientific calculations Typewriter for reports One phone company – ATT, the Bell System Industrial computers only-tape or punch card programming Film cameras and expensive developing process Libraries Early satellites Today Digital and satellite TV with 100s of channels Satellite radio Mobile phones – three generations, now with digital cameras and GPS Many phone service providers High power personal computers-desktop and laptop CD, MP3, and IPod for music and video Hand held scientific calculators Inkjet printers with photo print capability High resolution digital cameras Camcorders – analog, digital, DVD, hard drive VCR, DVD, and DVR video recorders GPS (Global positioning system) Internet – unlimited information source Google, e-bay, MySpace, YouTube, etc. Space travel via shuttle with orbiting space station High quality autos build with robots Autos with on board computers, ABS, GPS, emission controls, radial tires, air bags, crash avoidance systems, etc.

Not only is technology ever changing but it is getting cheaper and cheaper Example On 12/13/95 I purchased for Christmas a desktop computer with P-75 processor for $1499.99 and a HP660 DeskJet printer for $379.00. Total of $1,878 Today a computer 10x faster with 100x more memory and a better printer can be purchased for around $300

Engr 1201 vs. Engr 1202 Engr 1202 is specific to electrical and computer engineer Engr 1202 will only deal with electrical and computer engineering topics There is no textbook with Engr 1202 ECE – all necessary information will be provided in class – Also available at my web site, coefs.uncc.edu/jahudak/ Engr 1202 still employs the team concept Engr 1202 still requires a verbal presentation Engr 1202 still requires a written final report Engr 1202 E01 also has a Recitation / Problem Session one day a week taught by the ECE Department Chairman

My Goals For This Class To make this class interesting and fun To give you a better understanding of today’s technology as it relates to electrical and computer engineering To get you excited about engineering, especially electrical and computer engineering To provide a stimulating and informative learning environment To provide you with an interesting and unique experience of working in a “clean room” To provide a hands on laboratory experience that relates to real world conditions For you to finish this class with a strong desire to continue in electrical and computer engineering

Engr 1202 ECE grading 40% - lecture/assignments/tests/recitation Attendance-taken every class meeting – BE ON TIME – Attendance is critical 20% - Clean Room Project slide presentation using PowerPoint 20% - Computer Project 20% - Final Exam You are also required to attend two engineering seminars, organizational meetings, job fairs, senior presentations, etc.

Recitation / problem session Instructor is Dr Ian Ferguson – Chairman of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Attendance is critical Assignments given are critical Session meets Thursday at 6:30 in EPIC

Dilbert There will be a Dilbert comic at the start of each class Dilbert is an engineer Dilbert makes fun of everyday occurrences in the working life of a technology company Dilbert is drawn by Scott Adams, a former engineer I used to dress like Dilbert when I worked in industry I experienced many of the funny episodes in Dilbert comics

Dilbert Characters Alice Dogbert Pointed Hair Boss Wally Catbert

Class Structure First several weeks of lectures will prepare class for work on the project Class will be broken up into teams Teams will work on a project in the ECE Microelectronics clean room – Cameron Room 201 Teams will need to find a time to meet in the clean room - available meeting times will be provided Later in the semester a computer engineering based project will start. Recitation / Problem Session will meet each week unless canceled
