Who is John Nash?

John Nash is a Purdue Electrical Engineer with 12 years experience creating and programming Aerospace embedded systems and 30 years experience in business administration. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Cum Laude at Purdue in 1977 and his Master of Business Administration at Indiana University in 1990. He has 30 years of organizational management experience, which since 2003 has been in social work. In 1998 he transplanted with his family from South Bend to Fort Wayne and eventually founded Adult Life Training, Inc. His modus operandi has always been to take the hard job no one else wants, organize it efficiently, and provide a clear algorithm so that successors can do that job efficiently and effectively. He excels in working with non-traditional students under unusual conditions and building in them confidence in the requisite skills.

He is a Ramsey Solutions Master Financial Coach who has taught Financial Peace University for almost two decades at Adult Life Training, Inc., which he founded in 2003 and was ruled tax exempt under IRC section 501(c)(3) in 2004. He is qualified to teach Financial Peace University because his financial past was a baptism by fire and he learned about money from his mistakes. While neither rich nor poor, he has greatly improved his financial situation from principals that he and his wife learned in the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University program.

CPT-280 Software Systems Analysis and Design
Comprehensive introduction to systems analysis and design methods. Topics include the information system architecture, system development methodologies, project management, systems analysis, fact finding, feasibility analysis, system modeling, and system design. Student exercises and projects emphasise logical data, process, and network modeling techniques using Computer-Aided System Engineering (CASE) technology (currently Popkin's System Architect) to document business requirements for information systems and applications.

EET-109 Digital Fundamentals
This course introduces basic gate and flip-flop logic devices and their application in combinational and sequential digital circuits. Topics include decoders, displays, encoders, multiplexers, demultiplexers, registers, and counters. Logic circuit analysis, implementation of circuits using standard IC chips or programmable logic devices, circuit testing, and troubleshooting are emphasized. Goals are: To introduce students to the fundamental techniques of combinational and sequential logic circuit analysis and design and to provide laboratory experience in digital circuit construction, testing, and troubleshooting.

EET-157 Electronics Circuit Analysis
Diodes, various discrete and IC regulated power supplies, transistor biasing techniques, and characteristics of small signal amplifiers are studied. Additional topics such as dependant sources, operational amplifiers, non-ideal DC op amp characteristics, waveform generation, and IC fabrication overview are also covered. Circuit fundamentals such as Kirchhoff's laws are utilised in the analysis and design of circuits. Computer-aided analysis of circuits is used.

EET-159 Digital Applications
This course continues the study of combinational and sequential digital applications. The input and output characteristics of the various common logic families and the appropriate signal conditioning techniques for on/off power interfacing are discussed. Also stressed are standard logic function blocks, digital and analog signal interfacing techniques, and memory devices.

EET-196 Exploring EET
This course explores the EET field. Practical Experiences to teach techniques for proper and safe use of hand tools are introduced. Techniques for connecting various types of circuits are also covered. The process of fabricating printed circuit boards and introductory processes for using plastic and metal to fabricate custom parts are presented. Verbal and written communication skills are utilized to report project progress and results. Goals are: Introduce students to the EET Program, Develop minimum competencies in time management, soldering, and electronic assembly basics.

EET-207 AC Electronics Circuit Analysis
AC circuits including the j operator, phasors, reactance and impedance are studied.
