Josh Soliday - Chairman
Chairman Undergraduate Student in Computer Engineering
Professor of Engineering and Systems Engineering

Education:

BSEE, To be completed in two-three year.

Profile:

I was born in Columbia, Missouri. During my childhood, parents believed in a rather nomadic life style. We moved, on average, every six to twelve months. This culminates around thirty addresses to date. This adventurous life style led to a unique point of view.

I was invited to serve as page, under Representative Joyce McDonald, for Washington State during the 2003 caucus. From 2007 to 2011, I was under the employment of the U.S. Army, as a mortar man.

Currently, I am a sophomore, at Colorado Technical University, studying for a bachelors in Electrical Engineering. I plan to enforce this knowledge base with additional degrees in physics and chemistry. In the future, I am going influence choices made in agriculture and power generation.  I will do a hand stnad on the in space.

CTU Undergraduate Student of Software Engineering

    Education:
  • BSSE, To be completed in two-three years.

I grew up a military brat. I developed a love for computers in Seoul, S. Korea. My first programs were on a TI-82 Calculator where I found enjoyment puzzling out code to play games.

Later I joined the Navy as was introduced to MS Excell and it neat features. After my time in the military I decided to go to school and further my education; in doing so I decedied that controlling computer programs was for me.

I am currently a sophmore at CTU and look forward to the years to come.
   

Bobby Williams - Student Senate Rep, IEEE
Bobby Williams CTU Undergraduate Student

Currently, I am at the Junior Level at Colorado Technical University. I am a Colorado native, who has had a passion for solving problems and approaching issues with new ideas and a thirst to make those ideas happen. I have enjoyed working on computers since I was in elementary school, which was when I successfully put my first computer back together. Since then, my lifetime goal has been to design a computer with an operating system with the same power and function of current and future operating systems, but the same size as operating systems in the past. This imaginative idea has allowed me to become an author as well.

Dr. John Santiago - Faculty Advisor
Faculty Advisor Professor of Engineering and Systems Engineering
    Education:
  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, University of New Mexico
  • M.S. in National Resource Strategy, Industrial College of the Armed Forces
  • M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Air Force Institute of Technology
  • B.S., University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)

Profile:

I've been a proud IEEE member since 1982. Being retired military with over 26 years in the United States Air Force, Dr. Santiago has been involved in university level education since 1984 as a faculty member and Director of Personnel at the US Air Force Academy (1984-1989). Professor Santiago is an electrical engineer, manager, and executive with more than 30 years of leadership and aerospace experience in technical program management, acquisition development and operations research support. He has over 40 published papers and/or technical presentations.  Professor Santiago spearheaded over 40 international scientific and engineering conferences/workshops as a steering committee member while assigned in Europe. Dr Santiago has solid experience in many engineering disciplines and missions, including: control and modeling of large flexible space structures, communications system, electro-optics, high-energy lasers, missile seekers/sensors for precision guided munitions, image processing/recognition, information technologies, space, air and missile warning, missile defense, and homeland defense. He has taught a total of over 30 different classes in his career, including: numerous graduate courses in electrical and systems engineering as well as teaching undergraduate courses in electrical engineering, physics, and mathematics. Professor Santiago is married to the former Emerenciana Manaois Figuerres. As an entrepreneur,  he's continuing to work on implementing internet technology and processes for web-based and distance engineering education.  His efforts led him to being found on YouTube to write a book for the popular Dummies series brand by Wiley: "Circuit Analysis for Dummies".  He will be developing videos designed around his dummies book including follow-on topics not covered in the book.
