Come visit me in the Industrial Electronics Lab in TI 143.

Welcome

Please come in and browse around. I've been teaching at Washtenaw Community College for over fifteen years and still love it, especially the students.

If you are a student of mine, you'll find several different ways to contact me. You also might discover a few little known facts that might explain some of my behavior in class.

If you are just curious about some of the things that I am... programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motors, HVAC controls or environmental sustainability, you might find some interesting links.

If you have any questions about myself, my courses, or my interests, please email me at petty@wccnet.edu. I'll try to get back to you in a timely manner. (Current students have first priority.)
