For 35 years, ECE Professor Charles R. (Chuck) Kime has contributed to the advancement of system fault diagnosis, VLSI circuit testing, built-in self-test and fault-tolerant computing. It might be hard for most to tell he retired in May 2001. Kime continues to teach as needed and plans to work on the third edition of Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals. This text, co-authored with M. Morris Mano, is used worldwide, including use at more than 125 U.S. schools. Kime has been just as dedicated to the instructional program of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and its students as he has to his research.
He led the development of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree program and in collaboration with colleagues, originated or extensively revised more than half of all computer engineering courses in ECE. Kime was elected Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to system fault diagnosis and VLSI testing and was named a Golden Core Member of the IEEE Computer Society for his service contributions to the society.
As emeritus professor, Kime says he will have more time to be with his wife, two children and grandson. In addition he plans to travel, take landscape, wildlife and wildflower photographs and greatly expand his outdoor photography website, which can be found at www.woodchuckimages.com.
"The most rewarding aspect of my career has been the privilege of working with and learning from my colleagues and our great Wisconsin students over the years," says Kime.
