David Vallancourt BS'81, MS'84, PhD'87 SEAS is a Senior Lecturer in Circuits and Systems in the Electrical Engineering department. His began teaching the formerly hated Gateway in the 2011-2012 academic year and has made significant improvements to it, with demos such as fermenting hard cider in class and replacing the sensor bar of a Nintendo Wii with two candles. As a result, Gateway doesn't suck anymore, and Columbia College students are left to sulk away in Frontiers of Science.
