...Shane Childers Mrs. Pascal Bailey English IV 23 Nov. 2013 Computer Engineering Throughout the world, engineering is perhaps the most necessary job in any context, whether it be designing buildings, roads, chemicals, or even software or hardware for a computer. In this day and age, this is more evident in the rising computer industry. As society progresses in the 21st century, the need for computer engineers of all kinds can only increase. Coming to realization with the increasing need for those interested in computer engineering, one could see how this would be an ideal field to study. With a diverse range of courses available for computer engineering, from writing software to designing hardware, and the ever increasing use of computers in general, it is easy to see why this career path is one worth pursuit. To start, there are two main paths of computer engineering, as stated previously, hardware engineering and software engineering. Computer hardware engineers research, design, develop, test, and manage the manufacture and installation of various computer hardware ("Computer Engineering"). According to the above website, hardware includes computer chips, circuit boards, computer systems, and equipment such as keyboards, routers, and even printers. If one were to go into this field of engineering, they would also learn of the electrical details which go into hardware engineering. "The work of computer hardware engineers is similar to that of electronics engineers in that...

...projects range from $10 million to $50 million in cost and from one to three years in duration. Codeword can have six to twelve projects going on at any one time, in various stages of completion- some just starting and other finishing. Codeword has a handful of project managers who report to the general manager; other people report to their functional manager. For example, the electronics engineers all report to the manager of electrical engineering, who reports to the general manager. The functional manager assigns particular individuals to work on various projects. Some people work full-time on a project, whereas other split their time among two or three projects. Although individuals are assigned to work for a project manager on a specific project, administratively they still report to their functional manager. Jack Kowalski has been with the company for about 12 years, since graduating from college with a B.S. in electronic engineering. He has worked his way up to senior electronics engineer and reports to the manager of electrical engineering. He has worked on many projects and is well respected within the company. Jack has been asking for an opportunity to be a project manager.

...INTRODUCTION HISTORY OF OCCUPATION/PROFESSION Electrical and Electronics Engineering deals with the behavior of electrons as they pass through gases, liquids, solids, and vacuums. Originally this field was an outgrowth of electrical engineering, an area concerned with the movement of electrons along conductors. As the field of electronics has expanded in scope, however, so has its definition, and today the term encompasses all areas of technology concerned with the behavior of electrons in electronic devices and equipment, including electrical engineering. Although the field of electronics had its most spectacular growth and development during the 20th century, it is actually the product of more than 200 years of study and experiment. One of the important early experimenters in this field was Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). His experiments with lightning and his theory that electrical charges are present in all matter influenced the thinking and established much of the vocabulary of the researchers who came after him. The invention of the electric battery, or voltaic pile, by the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) in 1800, ushered in a century of significant discoveries in the field of electricity and magnetism. Researchers working through-out Europe and the United States made important breakthroughs in how to strengthen, control, and measure the flow of electrons moving through vacuums. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these experiments culminated in...

...researchers are now focusing on integration of IS with medicine. Railway General Hospital (RGH) Pakistan is an example of such integration where it is considered that due to less fee and experienced staff, patients feel more convenient to go for checkup, operations, diagnosis and recovery. Therefore, RGH is manually keeping record of its patients, staff, stock & inventory, payroll etc. They are getting problems in receipt generation, OPDs, ICUs for allocation of staff and resources like bed. But soon it was realized that there should be a proper system for handling such issues in order to save time and clerical work. For this reason they contacted a number of people from Computer Engineering, IT, Software & Hardware Engineering and Marketing to analyze the current system and to shift manual system to computer based information system (CBIS). But when HR department contacted high profile experienced persons, they refused to serve because of low payment offers by RGH. Then they hired some fresh persons to analyze the system and develop it. System Analyst wanted to bring Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital Management IS (SKMHMIS) with some modifications to RGH but due to low budget and other resources that was unimplemented and till now RGH is working with manual record keeping. Questions: How manual record keeping was difficult? What were the problems? How CBIS can be helpful in RGH? (Hint: benefits) Why high profile professionals denied working for RGH? And why an IT specialist/Analyst...

...The Benefits of CAD in Technical Graphic Communication There are many benefits to using CAD, or computer-aided design in the architectural drafting field. Some of the major benefits include, but are not limited to; time savings, drawing correction and modification, and drawing sharing. “AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT are the most popular CAD systems in the world, and most CAD managers support at least some AutoCAD seats.”(1) Whether it is a large company or a small firm, when doing architectural drafting time is of the essence, time is money, and time is EVERYTHING. In the past drafters/designers would take hours upon hours during every stage in the design process. From early sketches, to models, to finished product with many revisions and editing hours for each step and more. With the introduction of CAD, drafters are able to speed this process up. “Convert Time into Money in industry. There is no place for the slow technician or engineer” (2). With advances in technology there is the opportunity to customize CAD program specifically for any firm which also makes for a decrease in time on projects. As the timeliness of projects increase there is an opportunity for an increase in work, which ultimately increases the company’s profit and reputation Drawing corrections and modification is not nearly as difficult with CAD as it was in the past when everything was done by hand. Not that some things still aren’t done by hand but more times than not even hand drawn sketches are transferred...

...I have always strived to observe and better interpret the things around me and my curiosity has nurtured and manifested itself into the desire to pursue engineering. I was first introduced to Computer Aided Engineering watching a series of aircraft crash investigation documentaries in which official bodies would through a long unanimous process determine the causes of the crash. Due to the sheer amount of fact-gathering nowadays from reconstruction of wreckage to aircraft performance, and structures and fire-pattern investigations trajectory analysis (initial path drag and weight of subject) a lot of the former lends itself to knowledge-based virtual prototyping from the likes of computational fluid dynamics to incorporating the material behavior and properties through finite element analysis in order the virtually reconstruct the adverse event, all of which is necessary in order to run numerical simulations they managed to virtually reconstruct the adverse event and It is CAE’s multi-faceted structure that fascinates me the most, the wealth of tools makes modeling and simulation (an area of considerable expansion) more productive thus an exciting time to be a part of the industry. The vehicle is divided into smaller elements in order to be able to simulate their behavior they interconnect at different parts and add material properties all virtually. The finished calculation model corresponds in all its details to the future product and is tested virtually all without...

...WHY IS PRODUCT OR SERVICE DESIGN IMPORTANT? Service design is an activity of organizing and planning people, communication and material components in order to improve service quality. It is the interaction between the service provider and customers and the customers' experience. A service is anything that is done to or for a client and is created and delivered simultaneously. Product Design combines ergonomics with product and business knowledge to generate ideas and concepts and convert them into physical and usable objects or services. IMPORTANCE OF PRODUCT DESIGN AND SERVICE DESIGN a) Customer Satisfaction and Sustainability Organizations need to continually satisfy their customers to be successful in the marketplace. They are able to do this by improving current products or by designing new ones. b) Reliability Product and Service design ensures reliability. This is a measure of the ability of a product, a part, service, or an entire system to perform its intended function under a prescribed set of conditions. c) Consistent Product life cycle For example, a firm may have produced four different products and each product may have had a product life cycle of ten years. In this case, the firm must design four new products every ten years. Today, in order to be competitive, this firm may produce eight different products with a life cycle of only five years; this firm must introduce eight new products in five years. That represents sixteen new products...
