Andrew S. Heintz is an Engineering Group Leader in the Logic Technology Development group at Intel Corporation. He received his BS in Chemical Engineering (2004) and his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (2008) from Tulane University. He joined Intel in 2008 as a Process Technology Development Engineer specializing in wet cleans processes for semiconductor manufacturing. In 2012 he assumed leadership of a wet cleans process module. Andrew is passionate about the education of the next generation of US-educated engineers. In the spring of 2016 he began teaching an Introduction to Engineering course as a volunteer instructor at Sunset High School in Beaverton, Oregon. He has developed both that course and this text in support of the parallel goals of promoting interest in engineering to prospective students, and preparing students to succeed in a university undergraduate engineering program by building a foundation of basic knowledge and skills. His hope is not only to increase student interest in studying engineering, but to keep students enrolled in engineering programs once in college.
