Activity 1.2.3 Electrical Circuits – Simulation Introduction Since the late 1800s, engineers have designed systems to utilize electrical energy due to its ability to be converted, stored, transmitted, and reconverted efficiently into other forms of energy. In the 21st century, electrical energy production, distribution, and application have become consumer driven. Today’s consumer utilizes electrical energy in all aspects of life, from cell phones and computers to refrigeration and heating and

... What’s the Difference? SOFTWARE ENGINEERING McMaster University offers a common first year, called ‘Engineering I’: a fundamental program that gives students the time to develop knowledge and skills before applying to a focus discipline in level two. COMPUTER SCIENCE Computer Science students will complete a common first year, called ‘Computer Science I’, before selecting a stream in Honours Computer Science or Honours Business Informatics. Business Informatics students also meet

Q1: Computer science I believe is more of a general overview of computers / computing. Software engineering on the other hand focuses on the coding / design of software. Computer Engineering focusses on the design and construction of computer hardware. Information Technology is more of a computer science class that caters to the person that wants to work for a business and design their computer systems for them. Whereas Information Systems, is close to Information Technology however focuses more

Of the five characteristics of Western Warfare, the emphasis on innovation best exemplifies warfare in the American Civil War. Throughout history, the combatant with the highest level of technology and innovation typically is victorious over numerically superior forces. For example, using new and innovative methods of constructing fortifications, in 1294 AD, the garrison of Harlech Castle in Wales, consisting of only 37 soldiers, was able to defend against a significantly numerically superior force

Assignment 11 The primary benefit of conduit systems is the ability to ground and bond. Grounding and bonding play a significant role in minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Steel conduit reduces electromagnetic fields by up to 95%, effectively shielding computers and sensitive electronic equipment from the electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by power distribution systems. Cable tray advantages include wiring system design flexibility, simplicity, and lower installation cost. In

Lab 2 Problem 4: Resistors and Light Bulbs Ruth Nyagitari March 8, 2016 Physics 1202W, Professor: Thomas Walsh, TA: Joshua Hitbrand Abstract In order to determine the similarities and differences of the electrical properties of light bulbs and resistors the relationship between the voltage across a light bulb and the current through the light bulb was compared to a resistor. A power source was used as a source of potential difference. The change in resistance was observed as well as change in

Lesson 13g: Resistors in Series and Parallel Circuits Any path along which electrons can flow is a circuit. • For a continuous flow of electrons, there must be a complete circuit with no gaps. A • A gap is usually a switch that can be closed (on) to allow electron flow or open (off) to stop electron flow. • If I wanted to draw a schematic diagram (aka 9V circuit diagram) of a resistor powered by a battery that can be turned off and on, it might look like Illustration 1. ◦ Note that the placement

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
