Don Lewis Millard Education: Career Highlights: Prior to joining the university, Millard spent two years as a biomedical engineer at Veteran's Administration Hospital in Albany, N.Y. and two years as a designer at Electronics for Medicine, in Sudbury, Mass. The owner of DLM Consulting since 1981, Millard holds a patent for the development of a laser-induced, plasma-based "Non-Contact Electrical Pathway," which is used to perform electrical testing of fine-pitch electrical components. The author of numerous technical papers, presentations, and book contributions, Millard has received such distinguished awards as the Best Paper Award of the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE)'s Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology Society (CPMT) International Electronic Manufacturing Technology Symposium. He has served as a reviewer for such publications as IEEE Transactions On Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology and the Digital Technical Journal of Digital Equipment Corporation. Millard also has served as an editor for the Metals Subpanel Symposium of the Department of Defense's Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) and for the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) Proposal: Center for Advanced Interconnect Science and Technology (CAIST). Research Areas: He has been actively involved in the development of multimedia authoring tools and the integration of digital media for nearly 20 years and has produced a variety of electronic multimedia-based presentations involving the use of video, music, and interactivity. He also has authored a variety of multimedia-oriented lecture materials for use in courses involving electronic instrumentation and electronics design and manufacturing. Millard has served as a principle investigator
on a number of National Science Foundation (NSF) grants, most recently
as director of a Combined Curriculum and Laboratory Instrumentation
(CCLI) project that developed web-based materials and technologies
for use in electrical engineering education. The project's Web site,
located at http://www.academy.rpi.edu/projects/ccli/,
now receives over one million hits per year. He has also been a
co-principal investigator for the multimedia-based Interactive Learning
Modules (ILM) project and the Electronics Agile Manufacturing Research
Institute, both of which were jointly sponsored by the NSF and the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). D.L. Millard and G.
