Current Projects
Dr. Beasley is currently working on textbooks in the areas of computer networking, electronic communications and electronics. He was recently involved with a project in the area of Security Technology. The project was funded through the FBI. The project developed curriculum for classes in security as well as laboratory exercises in computer security, electronic communications, and physical security. The project ran through August, 2002. The project was a cooperative effort with Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico Tech and Arizona State University - East.
Dr. Beasley is very involved with student projects. A list of some of the students projects Dr. Beasley is incolved with are listed.

|
This book provides a comprehensive look at computer networking from the point of view of the network administrator. It guides readers from an entry-level knowledge in computer networks to advanced concepts in Ethernet networks, router configuration, TCP/IP networks, local, campus, and wide area network configuration, network security, optical networks, Voice over IP, and industrial networks. After covering the entire text, readers will have gained a solid knowledge base in computer networks. |
 |
Modern Electronic Communication thoroughly examines the key concepts in electronic communications. The book contains many examples of communication circuit troubleshooting and includes extensive use of Electronics Workbench Multisim throughout. This edition has expanded the coverage of digital communications to present readers with the latest techniques and methods which reflect current practices in industry. |
 |
This book uses a structured, systems approach in its comprehensive coverage of devices and circuits. It is a modern, thorough treatment of the topics traditionally covered during a two- or three-semester course in electronic device theory. Topical selection is principally based on the significance of each topic in modern industrial applications and the impact that each topic is likely to have in emerging technologies. Integrated circuit theory is covered extensively, as are field-effect devices and their applications in large-scale integration, the theory of operational amplifiers--including many important applications of those versatile devices--optoelectronics, switching regulators, and amplifiers. |
Education
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from New Mexico State University

B.S. in Engineering Technology from New Mexico State University
Professional Experience
Prior to coming to NMSU in 1988, Dr. Beasley worked for many years in the area of Broadcast Engineering and has extensive experience with video and audio systems, RF transmission, microwave, satellite and fiber-optic communications. In 1990, after joining the ET faculty, he participated with department staff in a project for the Waste-management Education and Research Consortium (WERC) where a Ku-band satellite uplink was installed and has since been operated and maintained by NMSU staff. The uplink is a fully redundant 300-watt uplink capable of transmitting and receiving both analog and digital data Ku-band transmissions.
Dr. Beasley has been actively involved in the areas of electronic communication systems, and VLSI design, simulation and test since 1984. He has been involved in VLSI research projects for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Army. Dr. Beasley has also conducted research for the Mult-Chip Module Group (Department 2277) at Sandia National Laboratories in the area of defect detection of integrated circuits through analysis of the transient current behavior. Previous work in this area has led to the award of a patent #5,483,170 for a method and apparatus for integrated circuit testing.
