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

You the electrical and computer engineers of
tomorrow will be the drivers of future technology

• And may become very, very, rich

22
The list is dominated by technology and note the
lack of entertainers, sports figures, movie
stars, etc.
23
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/jahu
  dak/
• Engr 1202 still employs the team concept
• Engr 1202 still requires a final report
• Engr 1202 E01 also has a Recitation / Problem
  Session one day a week taught by the ECE
  Department Chairman

24
My Goals For This Class

• To make this class interesting and fun
• To give you a better understanding of todays
  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

25

27
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

Class Structure

• First several weeks of lectures will be for all
  students
• Later in the semester the class will be broken up
  into 2 projects (All students will work on both a
  EE project and a CpE project)
• 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 Thursday for EE project and Tuesday
  for CpE project
• Recitation / Problem Session on Thursday evening
  will only meet occasionally and will be announced
  via e-mail or in class
