1. ECE 1100: Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering Wanda Wosik Associate Professor, ECE Dept. Spring 2011 Notes 2 Slides adapted from lectures by Drs. Dave Shattuck/David Jackson/Charlson

2. Where in UH Are We? UH Organizational Hierarchy Administrators and Faculty Who’s in charge? Where do I go for help/information/complaints? Who are the faculty and what do they do?

3. The Engineering complex consists of two main buildings, connected by a walkway on the second and third floors:  Engineering Bldg. 1, also called “Bldg. D” (This is the “south” or the “old” Engr. Bldg., labeled as Bldg. 579 on campus maps).  Engineering Bldg. 2, also called Bldg. “D3” (This is the “north” or the “new” Engr. Bldg., labeled Bldg. 581 on campus maps). Examples: W316-D3 (Prof. Wosik) W122-D3 (our class) First, a Note on the Engineering Buildings

4. A Note on the Engineering Buildings (cont.) Easy way to find north on campus: look for the architecture building (the one with the “Greek columns”). Note: A room that begins with E or W is in building D3. E means east of the main hallway, W means west of the main hallway. A room that beings with N or S is in building D. N means north of the “commons” area, S means south of the commons area.
