TEC 5323 Advanced Database Technology
|
I obtained my B.S. degree in electrical and mechanical engineering from Nanchang University, China in 1982. I earned an M.S. degree in materials science and engineering from Zhejiang University, China in 1984 and completed a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Iowa State University in 1991. My major research interests rest on database and systems, biomedical devices, materials, quality systems, problem solving and failure analysis. I am certified by Oracle Corp. as Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) for database administration. I am a registered professional engineer (PE) in the State of Illinois, a certified quality engineer (CQE) by American Society for Quality and a certified senior industrial technologist (CSIT) by National Association of Industrial Technology. I am currently a full professor and coordinator of graduate programs in the School of Technology at Eastern Illinois University. I have a wife (Susan), two daughters (Annie and Gina) and a dog (Lassie) all in Charleston. In my family, I make all big decisions and my wife makes the small ones. For example, I decide such things as global warming, terrorism fighting, international relations, crimes in the streets, and increases in taxes. My wife decides the minor things such as which house to buy, what kind of car we drive, how much money to spend, and how to raise the children. The best leader in my house is Lassie. She always sits back and relaxes. She always motivates and empowers people in the organization. She is always positive, encouraging and inspiring to her colleagues whatever we do. I look forward to meeting everyone in the class in virtual space.
