The late Thomas L. Floyd had a master's degree in electrical engineering (SMU) and bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (UF). He worked as a design engineer at Texas Instruments and senior engineer at Martin-Marietta (now Lockheed-Martin). In addition, he had 5 years' experience teaching and serving as department head of the Electronics Technology program at Valencia Community College, Orlando, FL, as well as 5 years teaching electronics technology at Mayland Community College, Spruce Pine, NC.
David M. Buchla, BS, MA, is a graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and the University of San Francisco. He taught electronics technology at Yuba Community College for 18 years, where he developed laboratory experiments for all the electronics classes. He was a field engineer for Sperry Gyroscope Co., where he taught radar school for the Air Force. Other experience includes instrumentation work at Lawrence Livermore National Lab and Science Applications International Corporation. He is also the principal author of the text Renewable Energy Systems (with Tom Floyd and Tom Kissell) and the text Applied Electronics Instrumentation and Measurements (with Wayne McLachlan). He partnered with Tom Floyd to develop the Science of Electronics book series, coauthor additional books, and develop lab manuals for all of Tom's books. He also coauthored lab manuals on VHDL and Multisim.
