Electrical Engineering Work Performed Electrical Engineers research, develop, design, and test electronic components, products, and systems for commercial, industrial, medical, military, and scientific applications (Cosgrove 749). They are concerned with devices that use small amounts of electricity that make up electronic components such as integrated circuits and microprocessors. By applying principles and techniques of electronic engineering they design, develop, and manufacture products such
As a graduate student, I will undertake research and coursework in Electrical Engineering to enhance my competencies in this field. I intend to complete my master's degree in order to pursue my doctorate. The research that I am most interested in pursuing at Northeastern University surrounds the optical properties of MEMS devices, and the development of substrate-based fast electro-optical interfaces. My interest in this area stems from my undergraduate study in MEMs development for tri-axial accelerometers
Electrical Resistance Electrical resistance is a property of an electrical circuit that opposes the flow of current. Resistance involves collisions of the current-carrying charged particles with fixed particles that make up the structure of the conductor. Resistance is often considered as localized in such devices as lamps, heaters and resistors in which it predominates, although it is a characteristic of every part of a circuit, including connecting wires and electric transmission lines
Robotics 9-11-17 Electrical engineering An electrical engineer is someone who designs and develops new electrical equipment, solves problems and tests equipment. They work with all kinds of electronic devices, from the smallest pocket devices to large supercomputers. Electrical engineering deals with electricity, electro-magnetism and electronics. It also covers power, control systems, telecommunications and signal processing. These engineers are usually concerned with large-scale electrical systems such
pursuing, I am particularly interested in a career as either an electrical engineer or a software developer. Electrical engineers fall within the Career Cluster of architecture and engineering. From 2012 to 2022, employment in the field of electrical engineering is projected to grow 4 percent, which is less than the average projected growth rate for all careers. There are no major geographic restrictions to becoming an electrical engineer, however most move to where the companies are located. Travel
The responsibilities and tasks of a electrical engineer is to work of many projects, such as computers, robots, cell phones, cards, radars, navigation, systems, wiring and lighting in buildings and other kinds of electrical systems. There are many thing that an electrical engineer has to come across to obtain some results and make something new or improve something that is dated. (Engineering Technicians, Page 58) There are many branches of electrical engineering one of which is important for connecting
Electrical Hazards Electrical Hazards, risks of injury or death arising from exposure to electricity. Electricity is essential to daily life, providing heat and light and powering appliances in homes and factories. It must, however, be treated with great care, because the consequences of an electrical fault can be serious and sometimes fatal. Generally voltages greater than 50 volts can present
The electrical system consist of the generator (alternator), the regulator, the battery, the starter, and of course all the necessary wiring. Generator (alternator)- The generator converts the mechanical energy, which it obtains from the crackshaft through a pulley and belt system, into the electrical energy needed for ignition, lights, and all other electric accessories the vehicla contains. It also recharges the battery. The generator consist of two basic parts: the Field Coils which create
Purpose Statement: Electrical engineering has always fascinated me. I was always keen to sort out the complexities of different system. My decision to choose field of electrical engineering was based on my passion and parent’s will. In early stages of my education, I started working hard to achieve my goal. My vision was to be a successful engineer to serve my community. When I used to study computer science, my interest developed in inventions and transformations. Technological innovations have
Experiment on Electrical Resistance The electrical resistance of a material is its opposition to the flow of electric current (slowing the flow of electrons down). Resistance occurs when the electrons travelling along the wire collide with the atoms of the wire. These collisions slow down the flow of electrons causing resistance. Resistance is a measure of how hard it is to move the electrons through the wire. A current is the rate of the flow of charge (electrons) and the resistance
Executive Summary Gome Electrical Appliances: Competing for Channel Leadership tell us a story about the legendary development of Gome Electrical Appliances. Its low price sales strategy and the countermeasures toward the price control of the color television price alliance to maintain channel leadership. This case analysis identified two major problems of market strategies Gome took in the channel leadership battle, provided two recommendations, and then analyzed the feasibility of the recommendations
Electrical engineering is a building science that applies power in an innovative and down to earth way. Outside of the United States, electrical engineering is thought to be centered on extensive scale frameworks, for example, force and hardware building to be centered on little scale frameworks, for example, PCs. An option refinement alludes to electrical engineering as the study and utilization of power to transmit vitality and hardware building as the study and use of power to process frameworks
An electrical engineer who fixes, designs, and develops electrical equipment. Electrical engineering is associated with electricity, electromagnetism, and electronic devices. Before becoming a professional engineer you need to be certified by some professional body. Once certified you will be designated with the title of professional engineer. You must have a bachelors degree in order to be certified. Some industries that electrical engineers can work in include: Scientific research and development
The report I am going to write about is to do with electrical safety devices and safety practices which contribute in reducing and eliminate specific risks. The workplace I have chosen to write about is electricians in power stations. The report I am going to write is going to show a clear understanding of electrical safety devices and the improvements of electrical safety devices. In power stations electricians need to use a variety of device to ensure that they are doing the job correctly. The
Different types of electrical conduits and applications Electrical conduits are metallic or plastic pipes that provide a route for the wires while protecting them against physical and chemical damage. These can be rigid or flexible and the choice in terms of material, flexibility and size depends on the application and environment as well as the electrical code and building requirements. The conduits are essential components that protect the wiring from physical damage, water, chemicals, corrosives
A Career in Electrical Engineering Choosing the right career can mean the difference between being satisfied and being disappointed with my life. Many factors can influence the career that I may have for the rest of my life. A decision that I am going to make at the young age of nineteen will have a major impact on the next ten years if not the rest of my life. In order to make the best decision possible for my future I have decided, if not forced, to research a career of interest to me. The two
Electrical engineering arose in the late 1800s and was heavily influenced by the work of many pioneers such as Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and George Westinghouse. These inventors contributed greatly to the work in which electricity could be efficiently produced, distributed and used to improve society in a big way. Electrical engineering is a form of science that specializes in the study of electricity, electromagnetism, and electromechanical devices. Mathematics is the common language that is
