Engineers Needed in Charlotte

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) n n n n n 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

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) n n n n n 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 n n n n n Digital and satellite TV with 100 s 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, MP 3, 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, My. Space, You. Tube, 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 n On 12/13/95 I purchased for Christmas a desktop computer with P-75 processor for $1499. 99 and a HP 660 Desk. Jet printer for $379. 00. Total of $1, 878 n Today a computer 10 x faster with 100 x more memory and a better printer can be purchased for around $300

You – the electrical and computer engineers of tomorrow will be the drivers of future technology And may become very, rich

The list is dominated by technology and note the lack of entertainers, sports figures, movie stars, etc.

Engr 1201 vs. Engr 1202 n n n 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 final report Engr 1202 E 01 also has a Recitation / Problem Session one day a week taught by the ECE Department Chairman

My Goals For This Class n n n n 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 n n n 40% - lecture/assignments/tests/recitation Attendance-taken every class meeting – BE ON TIME – Attendance is critical 20% - Project Report 20% - Recitation grade 20% - Final Exam You are also required to attend two engineering seminars, organizational meetings, job fairs, senior presentations, etc.

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

Dilbert n n n 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 be for all students n Later in the semester the class will be broken up into 2 projects (All students will work on both a EE project and a Cp. E project) n – ½ class will work on a project in the ECE Microelectronics clean room – Cameron Room 201 – ½ class will work on a computer engineering project – Later in the semester the groups will flip. Once projects are started lectures will only be once a week – Tuesday for EE project and Thursday foe Cp. E project n Recitation / Problem Session will meet each week unless canceled n

Assignment – Due before next class n n n Go to the Engr 1202 ECE web site, coefs. uncc. edu/jahudak/ Find the Engr 1202 ECE section Find the lecture notes and homework sections E-mail John at jahudak@uncc. edu the title of HW #5 – put just the title in the subject line of the e -mail Also submit a paragraph or two on why you are interested in getting a degree in engineering.
