Robert Bowman, professor and head of electrical engineering in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, wrote Electrical Engineering Freshmen Practicum, a reference textbook published by John Wiley & Sons (2003).

Bowman specializes in analog integrated-circuit design, semiconductor device physics, biomedical instrumentation and microelectronic product development. He earned doctoral degrees in electrical engineering and bioengineering from the University of Utah, a master’s degree in electrical engineering from San Jose State University and a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Pennsylvania State University.

Prior to joining the RIT faculty in 2002, Bowman was director of analog and mixed-signal design for Fairport-based LSI Logic Inc. He resides in Fairport.

Note: RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering is among the nation’s top-ranked engineering colleges. The college offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in applied statistics, engineering science, and computer, electrical, industrial and systems, mechanical, and microelectronic engineering and a doctoral degree in microsystems engineering. RIT was the first university to offer undergraduate degrees in microelectronic and software engineering.

Founded in 1829, RIT enrolls 15,500 students in more than 340 undergraduate and graduate programs. RIT has one of the nation’s oldest and largest cooperative education programs.
