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
More laptop prices
You – the electrical and
computer engineers of
tomorrow will be the
drivers of future
technology
And may become very,
very, rich
The list is dominated by technology and note the lack of
entertainers, sports figures, movie stars, etc.
Engr 1201 vs. Engr 1202





Engr 1202 E01 is specific to electrical and computer
engineer
Engr 1202 E01 will only deal with electrical and
computer engineering topics
There is no textbook with Engr 1202 E01 – all necessary
information will be provided in class – Either at my web
site, coefs.uncc.edu/jahudak/ or Dr Conrad’s Moodle site
Engr 1202 E01still employs the team concept
Engr 1202 E01 requires a final report
Engr 1202 E01 also has a Recitation / Problem Session
on Thursday evening taught by the ECE Department
Chairman. The class does not meet every week, only as
scheduled, about 7 times
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


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

Class Structure




First several weeks will have 2 lectures per week.
Later in the semester the class will start the clean room
project and will only have lectures on Tuesday with
Thursday’s hour used for time in the clean room.
Time/teams will be formed and scheduled in the clean
room through out the week.
Still later in the semester when the clean room project is
complete, the class will do a computer project under Dr
Conrad.
Recitation / Problem Session will meet as shown on a
previous slide – 7 total meetings
Assignment – Due before next class
