After a company merger in 2000, Jim returned to work doing training classes at Motorola (now Continental Automotive). Jim has developed training materials for himself, Dell Computer and Motorola as well as teaching classes owned by Motorola, Midavation and Texas A&M University Texas Engineering Extension. Jim has taught at Texas Instruments, Fairchild Semiconductor, Motorola, ST Microelectronics, Continental Automotive as well as open courses at the Semi offices in San Jose California and PTI. Classes taught include: Developing a course for Dell Computer (BPI - Business Process Improvement), SPC, 8D Problem Solving, DC Circuits, AC Circuits, Power Supply Concepts, Discrete Components, Component Identification, Introduction to Semiconductor Processing, Epitaxial Silicon Process, Wet and Dry Etch Processes, and Developed a course for Dell Computer titled BPI – (Business Process Improvement)
