...INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Electrical engineering is one of the newer branches of engineering, and dates back to the late 19th century. It is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology of electricity. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators. Electrical engineering has now subdivided into a wide range of subfields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics. Early experiments with electricity included primitive batteries and static charges. It has been a subject of scientific interest since at least the early 17th century. The first electrical engineer was probably William Gilbert who designed the versorium: a device that detected the presence of statically charged objects. He was also the first to draw a clear distinction between magnetism and static electricity and is credited with establishing the term electricity. In 1775 Alessandro Volta's scientific experimentations devised the electrophorus, a device that produced a static electric charge, and by 1800 Volta developed the voltaic pile, a forerunner of the electric battery. However, the actual design, construction and manufacturing of useful devices and systems began with the implementation of Michael Faraday’s Law of Induction, which essentially states that...

...Safety Awareness in Electrical Engineering It is important for students studying to become electrical engineers to be aware of electrical safety measures and hazards. There are several severe, even life-threatening hazards that one could encounter when among electrical equipment. Two main dangers related to dealing with electrical equipment shocks and burns are overloading outlets with too many devices, and neglecting to implement the usage of a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter. While outlets are designed to handle multiple plugs, it is crucial to know that they do have limitations as far as what they are capable of supporting. Various dangers can occur by overloading an outlet. Risks of electrical fires are increased when two or more appliances are plugged in at once, or when extra electricity is required by means of an extension cord. This is also the reason why major appliances such as refrigerators and dryers should be plugged directly into their own outlet; they are heavy power users. Although most homes and appliances have fuses as a form of safety to prevent fires, people should still be aware of the amount of power can be placed on each outlet or circuit. A safety procedure that could potentially be life-saving is the usage of a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). It protects people from electrical shocks by monitoring the amount of current flowing in a circuit (from hot to neutral), and thereby locating a loss of current. If it senses an imbalance, the...

...Choosing a particular field of engineering can often be very difficult for the undergraduate engineering student. A field particularly interesting to me is the development of network devices and the transmission of information between networks. Whether it is designing faster and more efficient modem circuits or researching for better transmission of signals between Earth and satellites, this field would be both challenging and exciting. The Internet is one of the best examples of how this field has impacted society. Enormous amounts of information are now accessible to anyone, anywhere. From network interface card design to on-demand Internet processing, I believe the world of networking has endless opportunities for engineers to get involved and make it better. Networking technology has become a necessity for affairs in government agencies, international corporations, banks, and the life of common citizens. This field has exploded over the last ten years. The need for better servers, faster signal transmission such as in fiber-optics, and secure online commerce are only a few examples which lead to various engineering opportunities. I think the impacts of this career would directly affect society, and its advances have already influenced the way we live our lives. People are electronically withdrawing and transferring money in their accounts, balancing their checkbooks online, shopping for groceries, and even ordering pizzas! Companies have cut costs on paper usage while helping...

...The first I have to do is to finish this school. After it there I would like to study The University of Economics or Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University. Rather I would like to study the University of Economics, because after finishing it I would have two qualifications, computer specialist and engineer of economy. The second school is very good too, because I would have a complex overview in computers. During the studies I would like to join some exchange program for students and study few months abroad. It would be absolutely perfect, because of get some experience with foreign circumstances. Next aim I would like to achieve is to learn fluently French and German. It’s necessary, because we are surrounded by German speaking countries and the official language in the European Union is the French. My school selection has another advantage. After reach some experience skills in the computer world I could certify my knowledge by Microsoft certificating program. The test and certificate are world reputable, which could be very useful in the future job. During the studies, there is a possibility to work for a company connected with school, where I could get some experience as a practice. If I found some good practice during my studies I would try to lunch out on my own. I would try to find a flat and live my own life. I have to prove to everybody, especially to my family, that I am able to see after myself. After the school I would like to find...

...“Electrical Engineer” My field of study is Electrical Engineer. New technology in my field: The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century with the commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. Definition of electrical engineering. : A branch of engineering that deals with the practical application of electricity especially as related to communications, the distribution of power, and the design and operation of machinery and equipment. Early experiments with electricity included primitive batteries and static charges. However, the actual design, construction and manufacturing of useful devices and systems began with the implementation of Michael Faraday's Law of Induction, which essentially states that the voltage in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change in the magnetic field through the circuit. This law applies to the basic principles of the electric generator, the electric motor and the transformer. The advent of the modern age is marked by the introduction of electricity to homes, businesses and industry, all of which were made possible by electrical engineers. Some of the most prominent pioneers in electrical engineering include Thomas Edison (electric light bulb), George Westinghouse (alternating current), Nikola Tesla (induction motor), Guglielmo Marconi (radio) and Philo T. Farnsworth (television). These innovators turned ideas and concepts about electricity into practical devices and systems...
