Joseph "Tucker" Madawick '37
Award-Winning Industrial Designer
Considered a “Living Legend” by the Ford Motor Company and the RCA Corporation, Joseph “Tucker” Madawick led the design team of the famed Tucker automobile introduced in 1948 as the "Car of Tomorrow." He later worked at Studebaker on the 1953 Starliner, which won numerous international design awards and established Studebaker as a styling leader. In 1959 he joined RCA as Manager of Radio, Phonograph, Tape and Television Design where he developed a highly futuristic series of potential electronic product designs that eventually appeared (some 30 years later!) in retail stores. Mr. Madawick became President and Fellow in 1964 of the Industrial Designers Institute (IDI) and later, President and Fellow of its successor, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).

AP Computer Science: This course is an introduction to Object Oriented programming using JAVA as a platform. The course consists of Object Oriented Program Design, Program Implementation, Program Analysis, Standard Data Structures, Standard Algorithms, and Computing in Context.
A+ Certification: This course validates knowledge and competency in core hardware and operating system technologies, including installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance and basic networking. The A+ course also confirms awareness of security, safety and environmental issues, as well as basic communication skills and professional etiquette.
Network and Security+: The course focuses on learning the objectives of the Network+ certification which includes topics such as networking media, physical and logical networking topologies, networking hardware, wireless networking, IP addressing, networking protocols, WAN and LAN technologies. The final phase of the course covers the objectives of Security+ certification including analyzing threats, security policies, and encryption.
Database Design: Students will learn to create a database structure to support a professional website for commercial applications. Topics include: relational database design, Microsoft Access, Microsoft project and Microsoft Visio, MYSQL, PHP, Visual Studio and Dreamweaver, FrontPage and data dictionaries.
Project Management and Senior Thesis: In this course, students will learn the entire development process associated with created a professional project. The Senior Thesis will contain elements of any or all of the classes given to Computer Science Majors and will be developed using the skills taught in this course.
Web Development: The course is a two step process that begins with creating the graphical environment of web page using HTML and Cascading Style Sheets. Later on, students are taught how to make their pages functional (user interactive) through the use of Javascript. Using PHP, the class takes students through the back end creation of a web page including working with Objects, interacting with Databases, and storing and accessing information on a server.
Digital Electronics: Digital Electronics can lead to college credit through the Rochester Institute of Technology. The following units are incorporated in the DE class: Fundamentals including safety, basic electron theory, prefixes and engineering notation, resistors, electrical laws, capacitance, analog and digital waveforms. The course also includes number systems, logic gates, Boolean expressions, logic simplifications, and duality of logic functions. Combinational Circuit Design including a paradigm for combinational logic problems, specific application MSI gates, programmable logic devices (PLD), and binary addition. Flip Flops, shift registers, logic families sand spec sheets also lead to microcontrollers and interfacing with motors.
