  1. ECE 1100: Introduction toElectrical and Computer Engineering Spring 2011 Wanda Wosik Associate Professor, ECE Dept. Notes 2 Slides adapted from lectures by Drs. Dave Shattuck/David Jackson/Charlson

  2. Where in UH Are We? UH Organizational Hierarchy Administrators and Faculty Who’s in charge? Where do I go for help/information/complaints? Who are the faculty and what do they do?

  3. First, a Note on the Engineering Buildings The Engineering complex consists of two main buildings, connected by a walkway on the second and third floors: • Engineering Bldg. 1, also called “Bldg. D” (This is the “south” or the “old” Engr. Bldg., labeled as Bldg. 579 on campus maps). • Engineering Bldg. 2, also called Bldg. “D3” (This is the “north” or the “new” Engr. Bldg., labeled Bldg. 581 on campus maps). Examples: W316-D3 (Prof. Wosik) W122-D3 (our class)

  4. A Note on the Engineering Buildings (cont.) Note: A room that begins with E or W is in building D3. E means east of the main hallway, W means west of the main hallway. A room that beings with N or S is in building D. N means north of the “commons” area, S means south of the commons area. Easy way to find north on campus: look for the architecture building (the one with the “Greek columns”).

  7. Top Organizational Structure Board of Regents University of Houston System Chancellor: Renu Khator University of Houston (main campus) President: Renu Khator Provost Vice President for Research Vice President for Student Affairs John J. Antel Stuart Long Elwyn C. Lee

  8. Top Organizational Structure (cont.) Colleges (13 colleges at UH) The head of a college is called a Dean. Departments The head of a department is called a Chair

  9. Top Organizational Structure (cont.) The Board of Regents is the governing body of the University of Houston System as authorized by the Texas Legislature according to Section 111.11 of the Texas Education Code. The Board of Regents consists of nine members. Each serves a six-year term. Every two years, the Governor of the State of Texas, subject to Senate confirmation, appoints three new members to the Board of Regents. Carroll Robertson Ray Chair, UH System Board of Regents

  10. Top Organizational Structure (cont.) The Chancellor/President helps to initiate, monitor, approve, and coordinate long–range planning for the system and UH campus. The Chancellor/President oversees system and campus activities with the help of Vice Presidents and the Provost. Renu Khator Chancellor, UH System President, UH

  11. Top Organizational Structure (cont.) The Provost is the chief academic officer. The Provost reports to the President for oversight of all educational affairs and activities. In addition to overseeing faculty hiring, promotion, and tenure, the Provost works with faculty to effect curriculum development. He collaborates with other vice presidents to integrate physical and technological innovations in classrooms. Dr. John AntelSenior Vice President for Academic Affairs Provost

  12. Top Organizational Structure (cont.) The Vice President for Research oversees all research activities on the campus. Stuart LongVice President for Research
