Who's New News

Randy Buchanan, Yea!   
Prof. Buchanan will coordinate Electronics Engineering Technology and play essential roles in both the EET and CET programs. He will initially focus on the control arena and on preparations for the next accreditation visit. He comes to us with fresh ideas but has already said he is going to look before he leaps (or was that before he shoots). Prof. Buchanan is a strong team player and a great addition to our faculty.

    Dan Returns Favor
Dan Kohn joins the Computer and Electronic Engineering Technology faculty after receiving his Master of Science degree in Engineering Technology. Mr. Kohn liked what he was doing for us as a graduate student and decided to turn it into a full time occupation. Of course we had to beg a little, to ask to be favored. Actually, he loves computers, especially small ones. If your application uses a computer that could fit into a coffee can, even a matchbox, Mr. Kohn wants to talk to you. Needless to say all the robot activity around here is perfect for him. Drop by, say hi.

Eric Loves a Challenge      
Eric Naguin joins the electronic programs' faculty. We convinced him he could work full time and take graduate courses on the side. He either thought that was feasible or else just couldn't wait to join the profession. See Mr. Naguin about Altera, networking, or digital design issues. He particularly likes our robot activities and automatons in general. Mr. Naguin takes over Dr. Ali's office but can be found all over. He wants to help with your problems.

Not New, But A Fresh View

 Todd Adams Has Plans
Mr. Adams directs the senior projects and robot activities and is making special plans just for you. He has some really exciting changes and improvements in the works. When not racing sail boats he concentrates on making your design experience more meaningful. These activities have improved each year Mr. Adams has been in charge and we all look forward to upcoming events.

Brett Chessher Is Back. Super! 
We are happy to have Brett back as lab assistant to the world. We know we overwork him but we just can't stop ourselves. He is here for you but let us all remember that he has studies of his own..

    Dr. Houston Helps Out !!
Dr. Houston is extremely busy as Associate Director and head of the Software Engineering Technology program. However he often helps when we need it by teaching a course or two. With Dr. Ali gone he will also be serving as Coordinator for Computer Engineering Technology.

It's me, Gary Johnsey.     
Or ProJo to many of you. I am very happy to share these great times with you. We are in a good position to obtain the leading edge in technology. Think carefully about the courses you take and the projects you do. To become more experienced, become more involved. See me about your computer based projects, embedded or desktop. I am currently working with Linux servers and web interactive data collection. See me anytime but speak to me often and make my day.


(Yes, I put the tie on just for the picture.)

    Loc Trang, The Graduate
What would we do without graduate students? Probably cry a lot. Loc is a recent EET graduate with interests in radio systems and networking. This is a natural combination, especially with the digital nature of information transfer. Loc will initially be looking at microwave amplifiers. He will be helping in the labs so look for him.



And On The Coast But Not Coasting

Paul Wilder Does It All              
If it involves Software, Computer, or Electronic Engineering Technology on the Gulf Coast then Professor Wilder is your man. He coordinates the technology effort there and teaches the upper level courses. Do you just need to finish up that senior project in order to graduate? Don't forget Professor Wilder and his location. He and his students have had some very impressive projects. Ask him for ideas.
