Russ Pimmel is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He teaches digital systems and computer hardware courses and the senior capstone design course. In recent years he has pursued a long-term interest in teaching methodologies. He has worked with his faculty colleagues to explore teaching improvements through a program that includes a weekly colloquium, periodic faculty workshops, and an outside-speaker program. Outside of work, he enjoys reading detective novels and cooking experimental dishes. Don César Malavé (he prefers this title to Doctor or Professor) is the ultimate puertorrican. He loves the sea, the sun, good Latin music (yes, there is also bad Latin music, such as that done by performers like Ricky Martin), rum and coke (or Cuba libre, as nonpuertorricans refer to this famous drink), his wife, his kids, and God (the order has nothing to do with importance). Don César is a full-time dad and husband and a part-time associate professor of Industrial Engineering. His dream is to one day retire and move to a beachfront house on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. He will then spend the rest of his life playing his percussion instruments, playing with his grandchildren, and teaching at a local universityjust for fun.
