HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION DESIGN LAB , University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, April to August 1993

• Researched numeric and alpha-numeric input on pen-based computers.
• Subsequent work resulted in 4 peer-reviewed publications. Craig presented three of them at conferences.

DR. DAN STASHUK , Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo, May to August 1991 (part-time)

• Wrote software to perform analysis of Electromyograph (EMG) signals.
• Assessed validity of simulated EMG signals.

The following are work terms while enrolled at University of Waterloo:

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER , QUANTUM LYNX, Waterloo, Ontario, May to August 1992

• Designed, coded and tested engineering software for analyzing wind loads on tall structures.
• Implemented in C++ with Zinc user interface tools and a math library.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER , COM DEV, Cambridge, Ontario, September to December 1991 and January to April 1991

• Designed, coded and tested embedded software for the FASSET program. Software resided on a custom hardware board and performs communication and monitoring of a satellite sub-system with the payload controller.
• Designed, coded and tested automated test software for the INMARSAT III satellite Intermediate Frequency (IF) processors. IF processors utilize Surface Acoustic Wave devices that channelize the signals. Software controlled the devices using an IEEE 488 bus.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT , ROWAN, WILLIAMS, DAVIES, IRWIN (RWDI) Incorporated, Guelph, Ontario, May to August 1990

• Designed, coded and tested software in C for a new pressure data acquisition and analysis system for a wind tunnel.
• Investigated and measured the frequency response of various lengths of tubing.
