Pete Mahowald
Adjunct Lecturer, Electrical Engineering
BioInterests include wireless communication systems like those found in IoT and satellites, especially in the context of the student technology clubs. These clubs can support the curriculum, host career exploration and experiment with the wise application of AI in lab engineering. Of current interest is SMesh which uses LoRa Mesh Networking, the SAMWISE satellite testing, and classes such as EE156 (PCBs), EE133 (radio components), EE186 (embedded processors) and the AA capstone class for satellites. Experience in high volume and contract design and manufacturing at HP and Apple.
