My background Received my BSEE degree in 1973

I do not have a PhD, please do not call me “Doctor”

Worked in the semiconductor industry from 1973 to 1994

Worked on all phases of the fabrication of semiconductor devices

Worked on transistors for military radars, radios and missiles, cable TV systems, cellular systems, the space station, and many other areas

Joined UNC-Charlotte in 1994 to help establish an electrical engineering PhD program in microelectronics

Created a clean room microelectronics fabrication lab

Became a faculty member in 1999 to instruct students in Engr 1202

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 wayComparison 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

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

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

Some laptop prices - November 2010

More laptop prices – November 2010

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, www.ece.uncc.edu/research/clean_room

Engr 1202 still employs the team concept

Engr 1202 still requires a verbal presentation

Engr 1202 still requires a written final report

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 – My sessions

40% - lecture/assignments/tests

Attendance-taken every class meeting – BE ON TIME –Attendance is critical

20% - Project verbal presentation using PowerPoint

20% - Project final report using Word

20% - Final Exam

You are also required to attend two engineering seminars, organizational meetings, job fairs, senior presentations, etc.

Counts for 70% of overall grade

Recitation / problem session

Instructor is Dr Ian Ferguson –Chairman of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department

Attendance is critical

Assignments given are critical

Counts for 30% of grade

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

Pointed Hair Boss

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

Once work starts in the clean room, we will meet only once per week for lectures

Later in the semester as time permits we will return to two lectures a week.

Assignment – Due before next class
