Dennis,
More Small World Stuff. I’ve been to Taiwan about six times during my
engineering practice career. I spent most of my time in Tiachung and
Hsinchu where I was surprised to see a world class synchrotron in
operation.
I too teach outside my discipline. I take care of two courses in Applied
Calculus for Chabot’s Math Dept. I like Applied Math almost as much as
Physical Design (which is much harder).
Regarding our meeting, would this work for you:
•Wed/09Dec/11:30am
I can also do 02Dec. Let me know what works on your side.
Also your ENGIN 26 looks a lot like my ENGR 11, Engineering Design &
Analysis.
ENGR 11 is an engineering CREATIVITY course modeled after the first
design project I got when I left UCB. This also a team based design effort.

Chabot’s ENGR courses.
On Tue/01Dec15/2pm I will meet with Prof. Papadopoulos to Discuss
ME85. If you are available ANYTIME between 11am-6pm on that day, I
would like to meet with you if that is possible.
If Tue/01Dec does not fit your schedule, then I can come to your office
hours at one of:
•Wed/02Dec/11:30am
•Wed/09Dec/11:30am
I’ll buy you lunch at La Val's Pizza if you like.
Please let me know what works best for you.
Go Bears, Bruce
P.S. in the “it’s a small world, isn’t it” category
I see that you worked at IBM-SanJose, perfecting head-disk-assemblies.
When I graduated with a BSME from CAL in 1978 I received 12 job offers,
and IBM-SJ was one of them (I choose another firm from my list of 12). In
Fa2014 My class made field trip to the IBM-SJ plant that makes the
Read/Write heads. The facility is now owned by HGST Western Digital.
33
Also several years ago we made two field trips to the IBM SJ Alamden
Research Center. This is a super cool place. I particularly liked the
Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) and the Transition Electron
Microscope (TEM). The STM team allowed me and the students to operate
the 400 mK microscope by moving a single CO2 molecule on a copper
sheet. All the other labs there were interesting and sophisticated, just like
the scientists who worked in them.
