A Sequence of Laboratories for Beginning Statics Classes

Abstract

Jim graduated from Washington State University with a B.S. and Stanford with a Ph.D. in engineering. He worked in the semiconductor industry for many years on a wide variety of projects such as ion-implantation, oxidation, diffusion, metalsemiconductor contacts, device physics, CCDs, LEDs, electronic noise, high voltage devices, radiation-hardened devices, thermal management, statistical analysis of yield, statistical process control, plasma process, IC materials adhesion and fracture, software, etc. He turned to community college teaching in 2005 and has worked as an instructor in engineering, physics, and math until the present time. Jim's interests are improving the engagement of engineering students and bringing more experiential learning to the students to better prepare them for real-world engineering work.
