Accelerated Second Degree For Rn ?

Q: I have friend with an masters degree who is interested in pursuing a career as an RN. He was in the Social Sciences. What options does he have? I hear there are what is called "accelerated second degree" programs, which reduce the number of credits and time required for completion Can these be taken on part-time basis? How much do they cost?A:I've also got a master's in a non-related field (political science) and am now almost finished with an RN program. I'm not aware of accelerated programs designed just because you already have a degree, but certainly any RELEVANT...

Accessory Electronics

When primitive man first invented the wheel he was quite pleased with his product. It was useful and served his needs perfectly. Then one day he looked at the wheel and thought, maybe I could add a stick to the wheel and push it along that way. It would be useful and serve my needs even better. That stick was the first accessory invented. It seems that soon after one piece of consumer electronics is invented and produced then somebody looks at that device and thinks I can make it look or work better if I add an accessory. Today for...

Advice On Choosing A Major

Q: Next fall, I will be transferring to the University of Texas as a junior in engineering. Therefore, it will soon be time for me to choose a specific engineering major. I have narrowed my choice down to two; electrical and mechanical. Does anyone have any advice, recommendations, or other input that might aid me in making a choice to major in electrical or mechanical engineering? I am looking for advice regarding the opportunities, outlook, and flexibility provided by each field. I have taken mid-level classes dealing generally both branches of engineering, and I understand and enjoy the types...

Aerospace Engineering

Q: I just had to fill out my course form for next year, and the courses I'm taking will more or less take me into most any Engineering course. I'm curious about a few things. 1) Is the Aerospace Engineering field in demand now? 2) Are there other higher-prfile jobs like this... What I mean is something other than Ground Control, or those like that. I'd prefer to work with Math and Physics. A: > 1) Is the Aerospace Engineering field in demand now? First thing you have to realize is that there...

Aerospace Engineering Rankings By Students Review

Q: Everybody either loves or hate college rankings. Some like me can't do with them as a guide for comparing colleges. I went to the http://www.studentsreview.com/ website and feeling bored, happened to stumble upon its SR Rankins facility. I selected 'Program/Education Quality' as the Dynamic Ranking factor and 'Aerospace Engineering' as an Additional Optional Ranking Restriction, without selecting any other variable. Lo and behold! The list below was obtained. To my great joy, I realized I had obtained an aerospace engineering college ranking for 26 U.S. colleges; a list impossible to obtain from U.S....

Are Hams Better Electrical Engineering Students?

Q: Have any study been done on this? I'm surprised that the ARRL hasn't researched this. (Or have they?) I am willing to bet that electrical engineering majors who operate ham radio (or who participate in other EE-related hobbies) tend to do better than their nonham counterparts. I know I would have been a MUCH better student if I had been a ham radio operator when I entered college as an electrical engineering major. Without ham radio (or any other practical experience), SWR, Smith Charts, matching networks, and other concepts were just mumbo jumbo I...

Army Watches

Army watches have been around for better than a century, and now enjoy a great deal of popularity outside of the military services. Built to endure the rugged conditions of military service, yet designed to be precisely accurate, army watches are perfect for today's busy lifestyles. If you are on the market for an army watch or just like to learn about them, there are hundreds to choose from. Since popularity has increased dramatically in recent years, watch manufacturers have adopted the popular army watch style and durability. Prices for new army watches can range from the very inexpensive to several...

Audio Speaker

Finding the right audio speaker for your home or car can be extremely difficult. Speaker systems today offer far more choices than they ever did before. You used to be able to walk right into a store and buy your speakers without very many so many choices; you simply bought the large box speakers that you saw for your stereo and left it at that. We still do like to buy the standing floor stereo that has the separate receivers etc, but we are not obligated to get the full wall sized models that we used to buy. The compact...

Best Digital Cameras

Digital cameras have completely changed the market for recreational photographers. Improvements in digital camera technology have even lured many professional photographers to move into the digital realm. Digital photographs are still not able to compete with larger format, high-end, professional film cameras but they are closing in. When they are compared with 35mm film cameras, however, high-end digital versions produce images of even higher quality. A six megapixel camera is approximately equal to a good 35mm film camera; whereas new 12-megapixel cameras mostly blow them away. Eventually, digital pictures may be able to compete with film formats larger than 35mm. The...

Blank Dvd

Thanks to today's peer to peer networks, people all over the world are gaining access to all of the movies, music, and videos that they could possibly want. This is great for those of us who are looking to get new DVD movies for a fractions of the price because all that is needed to pay for are the DVD Rom disks and a good burner so that we can download the movies ourselves. For that you will need to buy blank DVD ROMs from your local electronics store. Most of the downloadable websites charge a small fee per month or...

Bose Speakers

Bose speakers are a very unique speaker because of the way that they deliver sound to a room. They do this in a way that is different from any other regular speaker. Bose speakers do not push sound throughout a room like most, rather they actually deliver sound through the air. Regular speakers because they push through the air give a great deal of distortion and static in the process which interrupts the sound quality. Bose speakers give you something totally unique because they make the music that you are listening to sound live. I don't know if you ever...

Boutique Electronics

Consumer electronics is one of the fastest growing segments of the retail market. At Media Mall, an on-line shopping outlet their Electronics Boutique is one of the most rapidly growing and evolving sections. One of the best things about Media Mall is that it not only offers products through its Electronic Boutique, but it also gives tips and advice about electronic products, gadgets, and gismos. In one article about cell phones they offer a couple of ways to get free cell phones by signing up for family plans that offer multiple phones for the same account. They also do comparisons...

Calculator For Electrical Engineering Student

Q: I'm starting back to school this fall for a degree in EE and I'm wondering what calc the majority of you prefer, used as student, or use in your daily work. I currently have a Ti-85 which has served me well for many years, but after doing a little checking, it seems that it's way outdated compaired to what high end calcs can do today. I'll be starting in Calc 2 this fall and a clac based physics course to give you an idea of what my immedite needs are. Money isn't much of an...

Camera Electronics

One of the amazing inventions of the digital age has been the digital camera. Who would have thought twenty years ago that we would be able to take pictures without film, have those pictures developed inside the camera and then be able to e-mail these pictures to our family and friends all over the country. The process that allows digital photography is converting conventional analog information into digital information and this is the same technology that has brought us a wave of digital products. DVDs, High Defintion Television (HDTV) and MP3 players are all using this same conversion process. Our old...

Canon Digital Cameras

The Canon Power Shot A95 digital camera brings 5-megapixel resolution to Canon's immensely popular line of A-Series cameras. In addition to the new 5-megapixel sensor, the A95 also features a 1.8" LCD screen, which is an improvement over the small 1.5" screen found on its predecessor, the Power Shot A80. The A95 also features 8 new preset scene modes and a FlexiZone auto focus, which allows for greater focus control regardless of where the subject falls in the frame. All these features make the Canon Power Shot A95 a great choice for all photographers who don't want to break the...

Careers In Electrical Engineering

Q: I'm a high school Junior trying to decide what I want to major in in college. One of the majors I was considering was electrical engineering, because I like to know how things work. Anyways, I was wondering exactly what kind of jobs are availabe to people with a degree in electrical engineering. I would appreciate it if any engineers out there would tell me about their jobs and what they do on a day-to-day basis. A: My experience has been rather eclectic. I have 20+ years of experience and hold BSEE and MSEE degrees...

Car Speaker

buying a car speaker today is a lot like buying a home stereo. There are far more options with car stereos than there used to be and the sound systems are fierce. When it comes to your music, there's no better thing than having the surround-sound environment inside your car and there's no better way to get it than from a car audio system website. Scientific studies have shown that comfortable music can take away all of the stress of commuting to and from work. Most of us dread going to work or are in a horrible mood on the way...

Ceiling Speaker

Speakers are the most important aspect of a home theater and stereo system. Without them, we would all be lost to the great sounds of our favorite music, and movies. These days, you don't have to have large a gaudy speakers in your entertainment room like you used to. We all remember when we had to get those large stand up speakers in order to get the sound that we wanted. The only problem was that we had to make room for those large speakers as well. The home surround sound theater system gave us a chance to get all of...

Cheap Dvd Movie

Finding cheap DVD movies these days is easier than going to a cinema to watch them. You can literally find cheap DVDs everywhere. You can join DVD clubs to get awesome discounts on the latest movie releases or you can order them for rent for low monthly membership fees at many online DVD membership clubs. The advantages of such clubs are that you certainly get your money's worth out of the membership price if you are an avid video watcher and you can avoid late fees. The most popular is Columbia House's DVD club. This club offers you free movies...

Cheap Dvds A Great Alternative

Before data became digital, it had to be stored on huge roles of tape. The process was complicated and very expensive. It didn't make sense to commercially market it and offer to the public. Yes, it was possible to record music and video and sell, but to use that in the computer field didn't make much sense for the typical computer user. Once digital recording was perfected however, it opened up a whole new market in the computer industry. Files that were once huge and very difficult to store and transport on small portable devices now became easy to give...

Citizen Watches

Citizen watches have been around since 1930 and continue to enjoy a great deal of popularity among consumers and watch aficionados alike. A wide range of styles and price ranges to choose from make Citizen watches a good place to start when considering a timepiece. Citizen watches are equally at home in the utilitarian environs of classroom as well as the formality and distinction of the boardroom. Starting in Tokyo, Japan, not as the Citizen watch company, but as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute in 1918. At that time, watches were merely a byproduct of research and development, and not the...

Club Dvd

With so many people preferring to conduct all of their television and movie viewing with DVDs it is no wonder that DVD clubs are popping up all over the place. DVD clubs generally offer you free DVDs or cheap ones to lure you in, however sometimes you may not get the discounts that you are hoping for. Of course, some DVD clubs are excellent for renting DVDs for a monthly fee. These are relatively new to the world at large but have been around a few years or so. How these clubs work is that you pay $19.99 a month...

Club Night Pos

If you are the owner of a club, you know how busy your club can get and how crowded it gets. It can be very difficult to keep track of how many drinks are going out and how much food is going out etc. Pos systems will never be so useful as they will be to the busy night club owner. The average night club owner will serve hundreds or thousands of drinks a night on weekends and the pos system is the best way to keep track of all that is coming in and all that is going out....

Common Problems In Cast Resin Transformers

Q: i am involved in commissioning of 1000 MW power plant and in future shall be responsible for maintenance also. So I just want to know the common problems encoutered in GEAFOL cast resin transformers. As we want to commission 2MVA,6.6/.415KV,4MVA 6.6/.415/.415KV three winding transformers. Also please if some one can provide some case study on these types of transformes. A: -I think a trade mark of Siemens. If you put it into google you get a number of hits, including some reporting problems. I do not think that the average electrical engineering graduate would know much about...

Computer Engineering Vs. Computer Science

Q: I am a high school student, and interested in computers. I am looking into a college major in either Computer Engineering or Computer Science. I know C and C++ pretty good, I am a fast learner, good at math, and a good problem solver. I will probably do graduate work in whatever I choose. I would like some opinions, salary info, job titles, and any other info in helping me reach a decision. A: -Computer Engineering is essentially a specialization of Electrical Engineering, concentrating on the hardware side of the computer system. Computer Science concentrates on...

Computer Engineering Wish List

Q: If anyone knows of a better newsgroup to stick this in, let me know. I am an inventor. In order to better understand the inner workings of the IBM compatible, Pentium computer system, I am working on a project to map the binary data (electronic signal) flow through the system. I seek a map of essential components at first. Essential components I believe to include: Hard-Drive, 3.5" floppy, DVD ROM, keyboard, mouse, stereo sound output, SVGA output RAM and processor and all ports and all parts in between. Standards that hold across most brands. This map being able...

Computer Science And Electrical Engineering

Q: Electrical enineering is defined as "the branch of engineering science that studies the uses of electricity and the equipment for power generation and distribution and the control of machines and communication" Computer Science is defined as "the branch of engineering science that studies (with the aid of computers) computable processes and structures" There are courses such as Computer and Electronic Engineering which combine both fields of study. Other courses like Electronic Engineering with Software Enigneering. It seems that these two subjects do overlap in some areas. What is Computer Science, sure you are taught how to write programs...

Computer Speaker

Today's computer speakers are a lot different from the computer speakers of old. Do you remember those computers from the 80's like the Commodore 2000? This computer actually had no ability to make any noise at all. It didn't have any speakers. After that when almost all computers were running on DOS systems and the most popular were Apple Computers, if you did have speakers they were built into the monitor. You couldn't actually buy any extra speakers for your system. That is all changed now. Eventually, Windows programs brought to us by Bill Gates opened our systems up to many...

Consumer Electronics

The world market for consumer electronics is nearing $100 billion dollars a year. But even as we spend more money on consumer electronics the price for individual items keeps dropping. According to industry reports retail prices for the most-frequently purchased consumer electronics fell 3.1 percent last year at the same time as individual spending on these devices rose from 12 to 15 percent. The most popular items included flat screen and larger televisions, PCs,digital cameras and media players like iPods, the magical music holder that has become the must-have item on every teenager's list. In 2004 the most popular electronics...

Copy Dvd Movie

Copying DVD movies is one of the things that lets us all know that technology really has made some gains. Thanks to peer to peer networks, people are copying movies at a faster pace than they are buying them. Of course, downloading movies from peer to peer networks have as many draw backs as it has pluses. For the most part, copying DVD movies is illegal and goes against copyright laws. However, there are many websites that allow you to copy DVDs legally. Some downloadable movies are not all they are cracked up to be. You can encounter a lot of...

Cornell Competitive?

Q: I have heard that Cornell is the easiest Ivy to get into and I was wondering what any of you thought about that. Just how competitive is it in general? (SAT avgs, acceptance rates, stuff like that) A: -According to the 1997 US News rankings, Cornell had an acceptance rate of 33%, SAT 25th-75th percentiles of 1250 - 1430, and 81% of freshman from the top 10% of their HS class. Overall, US News put Cornell's selectivity rank at #15 in the country. While Cornell might be one of the "easier" Ivies to get into,...

Diff Between Electrical And Electronic Engineer

Q: whats the difference between an electrical engineer and a electronic engineer? I'm guess electronic engineers focus more on solidstate devices A: -I think electronic engineer focuses more on low-power solid circuits used for using electrical signal to communicate and electrical engineers focues on transformers, generators, motors, electric heating, wiring and anything to do with doing using electricity to do work. -Have a look at www.engology.com It might help. -Generally, "electronic" and "electrical" engineers stagger out of school with the same words on their diplomas. They just choose to refer to themselves as electrical or electronic. Electronics generally deals...

Digital Camera Memory

Digital Cameras use memory cards, or equivalent, to store pictures as information, and the memory card is the digital equivalent of film. If you have a camera with an internal memory, it will alert you when the memory is full and need a new card. The camera will have come with a connecting cable by which photos are transferred to your computer via a USB or other compatible port. Many models of digital camera save photos onto flash or media cards or diskettes. You remove the card or diskette and insert it into your disk drive. The type of memory card...

Digital Camera Reviews

Picking the top digital cameras requires some qualifications and categorizations as well as digital camera reviews. However, you simply cannot compare high-end professional cameras with the pocket-camera set and expect to have a realistic basis for comparison. The pocket cameras are better because they are so much more stylish. The Pro cameras are better because they have so many more capabilities. The best digital cameras on the high-end are probably the Nikon D70 digital cameras, the Canon EOS 1Ds cameras, and (for sheer sex appeal) the Casio Exilim P600 cameras. Many great cameras were excluded because of either price, sensor...

Digital Cameras

The digital camera is one of the most remarkable electronics feats of this century because it is so truly different from its predecessor. Conventional cameras depend entirely on chemical and mechanical processes because you don't even need electricity to operate one. All digital cameras have a built-in computer and all of them record images in an entirely electronic form. The new approach has proved monstrously successful. It may be decades before digital cameras completely replace film cameras, if they ever do, but they will probably account for around half of the U.S. market within the next few years alone. Basically,...

Discount Dvds Are A Great Way To Save

Discount DVDs are a great way to catch up on your movie watching without having to spend a large amount of cash. When movies first come out on DVD, the price can be high because of the demand for the title, especially if the movie was popular in the theater. However, if you wait a little bit, these will come down in price and become discount DVDs. The only bad thing is you might have to wait a little longer instead of getting the DVD when it first comes out, but it's a small price to pay to save some...

Download Dvd

Downloading DVDs is fast becoming America's favorite pastime. We are downloading movies at an astounding rate thanks to the peer to peer networks out there. Most of the downloadable websites charge a small fee per month or year so that you can legally download any movie that you want to and as often as you want to. When it comes to downloading movies, I wouldn't suggest that you do them from free websites or networks because the quality of the movies that you can get on these can be of poor quality. Technically, downloading movies is illegal. If you get caught...

Dvd Player

Buying a DVD player is easier than ever. DVD players are cheaper than they have ever been depending on the model of the player that you want. Name brand DVD players are getting cheaper every day and they are getting more and more functionality as well. No name brands players are cheaper than ever and are great for everyday DVD watching however, they offer little more than that. Name brands that are best on the market are those like Sony, Philips, Sanyo, and RCA: DVD players are most often being sold in home theatres rather than as separate pieces these...

Dvd Players: For All Your Movie Needs

DVD players are great. They bring entertainment and excitement into our homes. And now, DVD players are popping up everywhere. Not just homes but in cars, computers, even hand held devices. It's becoming difficult to not find DVD players around. DVD players are even popping up in airports - you can rent one for a long flight, catch a private screening of a movie just for you, and then return it when you get to your destination. DVD players have come a long way from the simple TV models they sold only a short time ago. Another great place to...

Dvd Rental

Renting DVDs is now more common than renting videotapes. It is a big business now to offer DVDs for rent. Convenience stores are getting in on the cash by offering better prices than stores like Blockbuster and Rogers. Many people are choosing to rent their videos from stores rather than rental places because of the high rental fees that other stores charge and the excessive late fees. That is probably why Blockbuster has gotten rid of their late fees hoping to compensate for high rental fees. There are also DVD clubs that you can join that offer excellent fees for your...

Dvds Gaining In Popularity

DVDs are so much sleeker than the standard VHS tape, and in a few years the VHS tape will be completely obsolete, the market overtaken by DVDs. And why not? DVDs are a medium which can provide a number of options that a VHS could never do. Like the CD and the music world, the DVD is overtaking the film world and becoming the standard. It offers superior quality in both picture and sound, and is much better in its packaging. There is a difference between DVDs and CDs. It all has to do with the number of grooves on...

Dvd Store

The popularity of DVDs has spawned many new stores that sell nothing but DVDs, however sometimes, you might be better off just visiting a movie rental store in order to get the best deals. New and used DVDs are sold almost everywhere you look including convenience stores nationwide. It seems that now all stores sell many DVDs for about $10 each. It is a great deal at first sight, but many of these cheaper DVDs are those that aren't selling. Most people are not even looking at independent DVD stores because they get great deals buying their DVDs at video rental...

Dvd Subtitle

When DVDs first came out everyone at first complained because so many of the DVDs were being shown in that widescreen letterbox fashion. Some of us do find this annoying, but there are too many advantages that DVDs have over regular television and cable to completely get rid of DVDs. Besides, that letterbox screen comes in handy when you are watching a movie that has subtitles. Can you imagine how hard it would have been to watch The Passion of the Christ if it wasn't in letterbox format? Widescreen DVD formats help to reduce screen glare when you are watching...

Electrical Engineering Career.

Q: I plan to major in Electrical Engineering, but a friend of my fathers, who is a electrical engineer, told me that I would have to go out of state (I am in Florida) to find a good high pay job. Is this true? I would like to stay close to all my family. (alot of my relatives live nearby.) A: -I don't know how it is now, but Florida use to be the hot spot for Electrical Engineering jobs. No one knows now what the job situation will be like by the time you graduate. -That depends...

Electrical Engineering Careers In Usa

Q: I got a publication from IEEE last week with an article about the US EE job market. From peak EE unemployment of 6-7% a couple of years ago we are back to approx 2% EE unemployment, about the same as in 2000-2001 before the job situation took a dive. The article points out that while that sounds like a good thing, the number of US EEs dropped from 440,000 in 2000-2001 to 340,000 in 1st quarter 2005, a drop of 100,000 EEs (and a large percentage drop). That drop is a combination of new grads coming into...

Electrical Engineering College?

Q: I an 16 and i want to be a recording engineer. I have talked to some people who say that i should get my degree in Electrical Engineering specializing in audio. What do you think of that? Any suggestions would be appreciated. A: -I imagine there are at least a hundred schools in the US where you can get a *quality* EE degree. That won't necessarily help you with anything particular in recording, but you'll have a much more solid idea about "how things work", and you might find something else you really like....

Electrical Engineering Course Material

Q: I have just started playing with electronics, this was because my brother needed a device to do a job and I figured I could do it with a PIC and a few components and modifying an existing device, his only other option was to pay serious money to have a company do the role of the device. Great thing about this is that I'm making some nice money out of it, but I really enjoy messing about with electronics. Now I was wondering what would be the best material to study, I'm currently doing a degree in computer...

Electrical Engineering Courses

Q: Can anyone recommend an accredited college offering a BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering online. I'm looking for a school that offers the complete degree program. A: -So is everybody else. You can check with alt.education.distance, but I think you're gonna find that there really isn't anything that's accredited by anyone you'd care to associate with. This is unfortunate, because there's really no reason that someone can't get a perfectly good education by correspondence and/or videotape and/or WWW. What killed the reputation of correspondence schools was their own behavior and the guild...

Electrical Engineering Degree --> Tech Career

Q: My nephew just graduated with an Electrical Engineering degree and has not been able to find a good job. One of those no experience deals. Also I saw his grades and they weren't that great. I was wondering if he was to look for maybe an electronics technician job, would or should he go and take classes specializing in like a technician associates degree? I was thinking hopefully it would get him some handson experience and maybe lead to work in an electronics lab/test environment. Thoughts? A: -Companies are under no obligation whatsoever to...

Electrical Engineering Newgroup?

Q: I have noticed that there is not a newsgroup dedicated to Electrical Engineering in particular. There are groups for divisions such as lighting, control, TV etc. But there is not a group for more general discussion on other matters. I have interest in power, control and alternative energy, plus a variety of other area, which are not covered. Any comments will be welcome. A: -I have tried to access that newsgroup, but there is no such group. Have you accessed this newgroup. If so, what news server is it available through? -I agree. There should also be a discussion...

Electrical Engineering Schools In Canada And The U.s.

Q: I have a choice to study electrical engineering in either Canada or the United States. My high school math and physics marks are in the high-80's and should get me into most schools- I hope. Can any one here suggest where I might find information that would allow me to compare various electrical engineering programs in North America? A: -The Gourman Report ranks undergrad programs in the United States but some Canadian schools are also mentioned. Check out this link at: http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/info/ee-prog.htm -Here are some previous posts on the matter http://x12.dejanews.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=317055725&CONTEXT=924632620.680984745&hitnum=36 http://x12.dejanews.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=253754180&CONTEXT=924632620.680984745&hitnum=76 ...

Electrical Engineering Student Interested In Automotive Industry

Q: I will be finishing my engineering degree soon. The university I attend doesn't have any official specialization for an undergraduate degree. As such, there is no way for me to learn anything automotive unless I do it on my own. I have started to read about car basics like the engine, suspension and performance. What I would like to get into is the electrical/electronic systems in the cars. I don't have any practical embedded programming experience (nothing but school) but I have a decently strong interest in electronics and microprocessor systems. I suppose my question is this: I...

Electrical Engineering Vs. Electrical Engineering Technology Salaries

Q: I am just a high school student who is in between the two majors. One college says theirs brings in more money whereas the other college says theirs brings in more money. A: -In general an person with an ABET accredited Engineering degree will make more money and have more career choices than a person with an ABET accredited Engineering Technology degree. If either program is NOT ABET accredited, tell them to stick it up their a$$. -In my case I have an engineering degree but I work for someone with a technology degree. I'm better...

You will possibly spot a large building full of books. This is called a "library". Go inside, and see if a...

Electric Vs. Electrical

Q: How to decide which of these two words to use? Example: I can say "electric cable". yet i think i can still say "electrical cable", can I? I know, on the other hand, that i cannot say "electric engineer". The proper designation is of course "electrical engineer" A: -As the working of the thing gets more complex you move from electric to electrical. So 'an electric fire' but 'an electrical circuit'. -The adjective "Electronic" actually implies more than just the complexity of a circuit. An electronic circuit involves active "electronic" components like transistors, diodes and even vacuum tubes....

Electronics Engineering

Q: I am new to this group and I am planning on attending school this september for a Bachelor's in Electronics Engineering. I plan on attending Devry in Irving, TX and I have been scouring the internet looking for opinions on the school and/or further information from anyone who has attended. The only things I have found seem to be from people who have never attended college and do not understand the ups and downs of school (i.e. "They keep changing the classes," or "They don't offer classes when I need them.")

Electronic Vs Electrical Engineering

Q: I recently visited Cal Poly Pomona and discovered that they have a Computer/Electrical Engineering major and an Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology major. Whats the difference between the two majors? What different jobs do you go into after graduating? A: -I cannot speak for Cal Poly or any other University, but I do know that engineers with a strong electronics/computer curriculum background are weak on power. I presume the opposite is true. That doesn't mean that an electronics engineer cannot practice power design, just that he/she will have to learn many of the principles without...

Is Software Engineering Really "engineering"

Q: I happen to believe that the discipline of "software engineering" can be as rigorous as other, more tranditional, engineering.

Lawyers As Engineers?

Q: I got into a debate via a list-serve about whether lawyers in a typical State of the USA are, or are not, allowed to do things that would ordinarily be considered the practice of Electrical Engineering and require Professional Engineering licencing. Basically, a law professor who must remain anonymous asserted that since legal practice is an arm of government, "and many other reasons, what is authorized for legal practitioners is not subservient to the laws regarding the practice of engineering". Of course the laws that regulate Engineering come from the executive and/or Legislative branches of government. As a...

Decade after decade Rolex watches are seen on the wrists of the wealthy and influential, and are the earmark of success. Rolex watches first came into being under the skillful hands of Hans Wilsdorf in London, England in 1905. By 1908 the brand name was coined and was rapidly spreading as the mark of a quality timepiece. Numerous distinctions rapidly came to Rolex, including certification as chronometers, notable since this was the first wristwatch to receive this certification. Not long afterward...

Satellite Dish Tuning

Satellite dish installation used to require more than one person and an entire afternoon. It involved backbreaking work of shoveling and highly technical skills of wiring. With the improvements in satellite dish technology, today installation has become so easy that many people can do it themselves. This article will briefly touch on how to tune your satellite dish, once you have it installed. First, make sure that there is nothing between your satellite dish and the sky it is pointing to. Tree branches, buildings, flags, can all obstruct the signal your satellite is trying to pull in. After you've determined there's...

Satellite Images

Satellite imaging maps are made so that they can simulate color infrared photos. Some of the satellite image maps can be accessed now publicly and most obviously with the help of the internet. Satellite images have been used for years by the government and the satellite technology has always under wraps until recently when the use of satellite imagery was released to the public. When you are looking at a photo while using satellite imagery software, you are able to get access to any view of that photo and the locale in which the photo was taken. It is a...

Satellite Internet

Satellite internet is using a satellite dish for two communications with your computer in the form of uploading and downloading. Satellite internet download speeds are about 500kbs, which is slower than DSL or cable connections, but ten times faster than dialup. The upload rate is about one-tenth of the 500kbs. Despite the slower speeds, satellite internet is a good option for people living in areas that don't have access to broadband connections. In some countries, when satellite internet was introduced, the only capability was downloading. In other words, you were unable to uplink (or upload, send files) only receive files. Today,...

Satellite Phones Worth The Money

We have all heard about satellite tv, satellite internet, and even satellite radio, but have you heard about satellite phone? Satellite phone is much like a cellular phone in it's portability factor, but rather than using a cell tower to transmit a signal, satellite phones use satellites to transmit voice and data. The ability to use satellites to transmit data is a definite advantage. Satellite phone signals offer very reliable and consistent coverage, unlike most cellular plans that rely on where the towers are located. Why would you want to use a satellite telephone? One of the biggest reasons is if you...

Satellite Photos

the use of satellite photos is not a brand new concept. The government has been using satellite imagery and photos for years in order to monitor the goings on in other countries. It was with satellite photos that we got to see the men walking on the moon, and it is also how President Kennedy learned about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Without satellite imaging, governments would be at a loss to learn what everyone else is up to or to see when attacks may be in the works. Of course with everything else consumer related; now satellite photos are also...

Satellite Pictures

The use of satellite pictures is not a brand new concept. The government has been using satellite imagery and pictures for years in order to monitor the goings on in other countries and at home. It was with satellite photos that we got to see the men walking on the moon. Without satellite imaging, governments would be at a loss to learn what everyone else is up to or to see when attacks may be in the works. Of course with everything else consumer related; now satellite photos are also becoming available to the general public and many people are...

Satellite Radio

Satellite Radio started in 1992, when the FCC allowed space on the S spectrum to be used for Digital Audio Radio Service. Currently out of reach of FCC regulations, satellite radio offers uncensored, unformatted radio entertainment. Satellite radio formats offer commercial free programming in all venues. The appeal of the unstructured freedom has radio personality celebrities such as Howard Stern breaking away from standard radio broadcasting to join the satellite radio broadcasting arena. Satellite radio carriers are becoming more widespread in popularity, despite the fact that you are essentially paying to listen to the radio broadcasts. With the payment, there are...

Satellite Receivers Now Feature Dvr

Satellite receivers are similar to cable receiver boxes except for a satellite receiver is used to unscramble a digital signal from satellites that are out in space. Cable on the other hand offers the capability to pull in cable programming without having to have a cable box attached to the television, but rather running the cable connection directly to the television set. Satellite receivers are descrambling a digital signal, while many cable companies still offer programming in analog or digital. Satellite receivers are about the same size as a cable box. Many companies that offer satellite programming have a specific satellite...

Satellites

The use of satellites have made just about everything a bit better than it was only a decade ago. Think about it, we once thought that digital was the best that technology had to offer and we are already finding out how to surpass it. We are fast becoming the satellite era.

Satellites have truly changed the way that we do things, and I for one couldn't be happier....

Satellites: What Are They?

Satellite: by definition it is one object rotating around another object. In today's world when we here the word satellite, we picture a machine orbiting around the earth. Satellites serve many functions for scientists, as well as the average man. One of those obvious functions is using a satellite for television reception. Satellites are able to carry the waves of information that make up the sound and pictures and transmit it to a receiver that interprets the transmission as a television broadcast. Recently, radio is another widely available feature, where satellites send radio signals and are able to offer uninterrupted, commercial...

Satellite Systems Of Today Are Much More Streamlined

Satellite systems have changed dramatically in the past thirty years. In 1978, satellite systems were introduced to the consumer market. The introduction of the satellite systems allowed private individuals to view programming that would otherwise be inaccessible to them due to their location. You may remember seeing satellite dishes in the front or back yards of people wanting the diverse programming. The satellite systems of that time required a completely unobstructed view of the southern sky. The satellite dish, that sat outside to pull in the satellite signal was often times the size of a small storage shed and looked like...

Satellite Television Versus Cable

Satellite television has given cable television a run for it's money by allowing customers more flexibility in their programming options than traditional cable companies can allow. What's more is that the pricing of the satellite television, and the flexibility it offers is comparable, and in some cases more affordable. The type of programming offered by satellite television is virtually the same as cable television. The major news networks, sports networks, movie networks, they are all the same. After all, many of these networks, use satellite signals to transmit their programming to the cable companies, who in turn sends the programming back...

Satellite Tv

Television has certainly come a long way since the days when you only had access to about 3 local channels. Do you remember when the onset of cable television made you want to kiss the technological giant who had invented it? Cable television used to offer you nothing more than 80 good channels of quality television. Then of course the digital era brought digital cable which now boasts up to 200 channels to choose from, for a fee of course. Now the TV Gods have give n us access to satellite TV which can offer us 225 channels of digital...

Satellite Tv Has Come A Long Way

Satellite tv was first used in 1957 by the Russian Sputnik. Despite it's early entry, satellite tv did not become used for public viewing until 1978, when PBS (Public Broadcasting System) was the first television station to transmit using a satellite signal. During the early 80's "Direct to Home" receivers were introduced, allowing people in rural areas to receive tv programming that was similar to the cable tv lineup, without having to have an antennae connected to the tv. In order to receive the satellite tv programming, a satellite tv signal receiver and a satellite dish needed to be installed. Despite...

Sony Digital Cameras

Sony's first attempt at a camera/camcorder hybrid, the Sony CyberShot DSC-M1 takes 5-megapixel still pictures as well as high-resolution MPEG video. What really makes the Sony CyberShot DSC-M1 unique, however, is the fact that it is designed to record video five seconds before a still image is taken and three seconds after, giving a video record of the circumstances around every picture. If you'd rather take more conventional video, the Sony M1 can fit 27 minutes of 30 frame-per-second video on a 512MB Memory Stick Pro Duo card. That is probably why Sony is so popular in electronics. The idea...
