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

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

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, coefs.uncc.edu/jahudak/
 Engr 1202 still employs the team concept
 Engr 1202 still requires a verbal presentation
 Engr 1202 still requires a written final report
 Engr 1202 E01 also has a Recitation / Problem Session
one day a week taught by the ECE Department
Chairman

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
 Session meets Thursday at 6:30 in
Woodward 106

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

Catbert
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.
 Recitation / Problem Session will meet each week unless
canceled

Assignment – Due before next class
