`
`Scholarly Activities
`
`
`
`Teaching Experience
`
` I
`
` have taught a wide-range of electrical and computer engineering courses. The focus of these courses has
`been on the design and use of computer systems. In each of these courses, major subsystems of a
`computer's architecture were explored and design alternatives were investigated. Sophomore-level
`courses provided a broad-based introduction to the computer engineering field while the more advanced
`courses dealt with state-of-the-art and emerging computer architectures, to include computer architecture,
`high-performance uniprocessors, massively parallel processing systems, computers embedded within
`larger systems, distributed computing systems, and computer-communications networks.
`
`
`
`Thesis, Dissertation, and Project Advising:
`
`Undergraduate Research Projects:
`
`Alexander Kourakas
`Project title: “Using the MC68HC11 Microcontroller.” Completed as part of the Engineering
`Fundamentals course EF 1006, Introduction to Engineering, Spring 1994 semester.
`
`Elvin L. Taylor, Jr.
`Project title: “Design of a Queueing Model Based on an FDDI Network.” Completed under the National
`Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program while attending Virginia Tech
`during the 1993 summer sessions. Mr. Taylor was a rising senior at the time of the project. He later
`completed his MS program at Virginia Tech as a recipient of an NSF graduate fellowship.
`
`Project title: “Design and construction of two micro satellites to be launched as part of the space shuttle’s
`hitchhiker program.” This independent study research project supported a team of 4-8 undergraduate
`students during the Spring 99 – Spring 01 semesters. The goal of the project was to specify and design
`the on-board flight computer for HokieSat, a USAF/NASA-sponsored microsatellite constructed in the
`Aerospace and Ocean Engineering Department.
`
`Theresa Nelson and Almohanad Fayez
`Project title: “Laboratory Development for ENGE 1104, Exploring the Digital Future.” This project was
`done in the Summer 2004 semesters and was supported in part by an NSF curriculum development grant.
`The project focused on the development of course material for ENGE 1104. ENGE 1104 was a new
`course that was to be taught for the first time by the Engineering Education Department in the Spring
`2005 semester. EE, CPE, and CS freshmen were required to take the course. Nelson and Fayez
`developed course materials, MATLAB manuals, and 2 years of laboratory experiments for use in the
`course. These materials were solicited from ECE by the ENGE Department.

`Fellowship Funding:

`In addition to the research grants listed above, I am directly responsible for recruiting and advising 12
`fully-funded Ph.D. students and 2 MS students from the U.S. Air Force and Army officer corps. Because
`these individuals were fully funded by the Department of Defense, their work for me and Virginia Tech
`represented a cost-avoidance to my research grants of approximately $48,000 per year per student (in
`2005 dollars). This totaled approximately $1,923,000.
