My name is Mike Teall, I am a Junior Year ICAM major through the Visual Arts department. I wanted to be an ICAM major because for whatever silly reason, I thought I would learn about Graphic Design and Programming. I have since found out that the ICAM major does not focus Graphic Arts at all and the programming is very limited. I have decided to stick it out anyways and learn that other stuff on my own and hopefully having an ICAM degree will help me as well. I am taking this class as my two quarter A/B requirement for my major. I have between a novice level and mild enthusiast level interest in electronics. I have done some
soldering, wire stripping, etc. I replaced the power jack on my girlfriend's laptop, I put a new barrel connector on my power
adapter for my laptop as well. I have put together several desktop systems, including my most current one which has an Intel i7 920 processor running at 3.7 Ghz with a gigantic air cooler, 6 Gigabytes of ddr3 ram running at 1600 Mhz, an ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card running crossfire x, 2 terabytes of hard disk space running in a RAID configuration, and a 750 watt power supply with a really nice case. I do not know all the ins and outs of all electronics, but I have a decent basic understanding andsome limited experience to bring to the classroom with me. I am also interested in cutting edge electronics in general and feel this class would be fun for me along with giving me the most skills out of the A/B class sequences for the ICAM major in addition to providing me with some of the skills necessary to complete the ICAM senior project.
