Ali Jamnia enjoys teaching and mentoring junior engineers. His primary expertise lies in electromechanical systems design and development. In addition, he enjoys conducting analysis of various engineering problems using numerical approximations and computer simulations. Dr. Jamnia has focused on the issues of electronics packaging since the early 1990s, and since 1995, has been involved with the development of innovative electronics systems to aid individuals with either physical or cognitive disabilities. In fact, his prime achievement has been the development of a specialized computer system called the Learning StationTM - used as a teaching tool for individuals with cognitive disabilities.
This book is intended for a hands-on engineer who needs back-of-the-envelope tools to develop design parameters and develop a means to conduct sanity checks. The true value of the book, however, is to raise the awareness of the design team on various aspects of the design that leads to developing a more reliable product. -James Feine, President, USI Ultrasonic, Houston, Texas, USA
