TIME:

Tuesday, October 11th

6:30PM for pizza, 7:00PM talk

PLACE:

E2 Simularium (E2 180)

We will be kicking off the school year with a talk from 10 year Apple veteran Ken Gudan. Hope to see you there!

ABSTRACT

"Womb to Tomb" -- The Do's and Don'ts of Designing Systems for Mass Production

It is exciting to be privileged to work with a team to take a design from concept into mass production.  But what is it really like? What phases does the project go through?  How much time does it take?  What is expected of the engineering team?  How do factories really "work"?  What are key ingredients to a successful production ramp?  What are the pitfalls to avoid?  Ken Gudan has taken many ideas into production, both with Apple and Ricoh.  He will draw on that experience to describe the process, expectations, fundamentals, and trials involved.  Fundamental design rules, combined with actual factory results, will highlight each design phase.  Time permitting, those attending will have the opportunity to solve intriguing real problems encountered, to exercise and grow everyone's creative problem solving skills!

BIO

Ken Gudan has over 25 years EE/System design experience, 15 years explicitly for mass production consumer products.  Most of that experience comes from Apple, where he was System Technical Lead for iMacs.  Currently, he is working for Ricoh, and served as the Technical Lead of the Ricoh eQuill cloud-based E-Ink tablet device, which will be shipping soon.  Ken has led the technical development of all varieties of projects, ranging from "idea figments" to "simple speed bumps" into production, and has supported factory builds worldwide.  Currently, he is researching new technology opportunities for Ricoh, hoping to shepherd another new idea into production.  Ken has a BS Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan and a MSEE from Purdue University.

Abstract

Databases are the backbone of a huge percentage of computer applications. At first glance, relational databases can be intimidating. This talk aims to walk you through what a relational database is and how relational databases can be used to store and analyze virtually any type of data. The talk will cover basic database concepts, table structure, indexes, foreign keys, referential integrity, stored procedures, triggers and more.

 

Biography


Tim Gustafson started out his IT career in 1994 by running a dial-up BBS. In 1996, he became a network engineer and server administrator for a dial-up ISP in New York. His interests quickly branched out into network engineering, Internet protocols and web applications development. During the dot-com boom during the late 1990's and early 2000's, Tim spent most of his time developing database-driven web sites for clients using the FAMP stack (FreeBSD, Apache, mySQL and PHP). After the dot-com bubble burst, his focus shifted from forward-facing web sites to inward-facing web applications for businesses. Since late 2007, he has been managing more than 250 web sites for the Jack Baskin School of Engineering, including the conversion of approximately 50 web sites from Bricolage and other content management systems to Drupal. During that time, he has developed dozens of Drupal modules to support the needs of a diverse and growing campus, almost all of which rely heavily on a mySQL relational database server.
