At OSU COB I teach course BA272: Business Applications Development, which is an introduction to the Visual Basic .NET® programming language.

I've been a member of the Computer Systems Department faculty at LBCC since Fall 2000. You can access my LBCC homepage at:
http://cf.linnbenton.edu/bcs/cs/swansop

At LBCC I'm the teacher of Visual Basic .NET®. I teach two courses there:

• LBCC's course CS133V is equivalent to ("articulated with") OSU's course BA272.

CS133V is offered Fall, Winter, and Spring terms.
During Fall term 2005, I'll teach CS133V TR 1600-1820 at the LBCC Benton Center in Corvallis.

• LBCC's course CS233V is a second-level course in Visual Basic .NET®. CS133V (or BA272) is a prerequisite for CS233V.
  CS233V explores advanced topics in Visual Basic .NET®, including:
  • Additional topics in Object-Oriented software design and implementation.
  • Database-driven applications.
  • A major student-selected Term Project.

CS233V is offered only in Fall term (for the 2005-2006 academic year).
During Fall term 2005, I'll teach CS233V MW 1900-2120 at the LBCC Benton Center in Corvallis.

 At LBCC I also teach courses in Networking as a Cisco Certified Academy Instructor®, in Network Operating Systems (Linux® and Windows®), in Computer Hardware, and in Orientation to Computer Science.

Before joining the LBCC faculty I worked for 19 years as an electronics and software engineer at Hewlett-Packard. I worked mostly in the hardware/software integration of test systems. Visual Basic® was a principal programming language used in this work.

I've received the following degrees, in reverse chronological order:
MSEE from California State University, Sacramento
MA (Philosophy) from University of California, Davis
BD from Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, Calif.
BA (Biology) from Harvard University
