George C. Salayka was hired as an adjunct instructor in 1976. He initially taught basic technology and computer courses in the CAPP program. In 1984, he became a full time faculty member in the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences. He is currently a tenured associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology. During his time at New York Tech, he has taught numerous first, second, third, and fourth year courses to students majoring in Electrical and Computer engineering technology and Telecommunications.
Over this extended period, Salayka has had a sustained interest in Electronics and Communications Technology. He has emphasized the electronics involved in communication courses. His approach in electronics courses is to focus on applications and software applications in the laboratory. He has made sure to create his own laboratory experiments to better complement the lectures presented in his courses.
Over the last few years, compliment has been revising the laboratory component of courses in Electric Circuit Technology, Electronics Technology, and Communications Technology. As part of the new laboratory curriculum, he has integrated a professional software package called “Multisim,” and has designed many innovative experiments which can be performed both with standard hardware and standard laboratory equipment as well using “Multisim.” Multisim offers specialized laboratory equipment, such as a Bode plotter, a spectrum analyzer, a distortion analyzer, and several types of function generators and oscilloscopes generally not part of standard laboratory equipment.
Salayka received his B.S.E.E degree from The College of Staten Island in 1971, his M.S.E.E. degree from NYU in 1972, and his D.C. degree in 1980. He is also a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in New York state since 1993.
