Education: I received my BSEE degree from Southern Methodist University, and my MSEE and Ph.D. EE degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.
Professional Career: I spent the majority of my professional career in industry. I spent brief periods with Bell Helicopter and General Dynamics, before joining Texas Instruments. The majority of my working career was spent at TI, from 1973 through 1998, with a brief 19-month hiatus in the middle to work for a startup that was partially owned by TI (1983 to 1985). On retirement from TI in 1998, I joined the University of Texas at Dallas as a Senior Lecturer, and have been a member of the faculty since that time. Although I received my Ph. D. fusion plasma heating, I immediately entered into a position as a digital design engineer upon graduation, and have spent most of my career in designing or supervising the design of digital and computer systems, or in related staff positions.
UTD Background: At UTD, I have taught a number of courses, including courses in DC and AC circuit analysis, digital systems, and electromagnetic theory. I currently teach ECS 1200, Introduction to Engineering and Computer Science, EE 1202, Introduction to Electrical Engineering, and EE 2310, Introduction to Digital Systems. I developed the laboratory material for EE 2310, and developed and taught EE 1102 (Introduction to Laboratory Techniques) until it was replaced in Fall, 2010 by EE 1202. I have developed both ECS 1200 and EE 1202 course material and also authored the EE 1202 laboratory manual.
I was the manager of undergraduate teaching laboratory facilities in the UTD electrical engineering department from 2004 until 2010.
I am a registered professional engineer in the state of Texas (now on the inactive roll).|
