Electrical Engineering Essay

Nikola Tesla was an innovative intellectual of the Gilded Age whose ideas were far ahead of his time. The modern world would be nothing like it is today without Tesla’s insights. He revolutionized the scientific community and the world’s knowledge of electric current, but there were plenty of other interesting facets of his life and career. He was much more than an engineer, and unfortunately, many of his peers underestimated him on account of his quirkiness and battle with mental illness.…

Analyse the values of voltages in generation, transmission and distribution? Task 4 (D1) Electricity has greatly evolved from what it once was, to be fit for our modern day consumption and usage. Electrical engineering was first pioneered in the early 19th century, and great progress had been made by the time the 19th century came to a close. Most of the advancements were made by the likes of Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse; who all aided in making electricity what it is…

and Energy Saving System using PIC18F4520 Parth Rathod Department of Electrical engineering and Computer Science Cleveland State University p.rathod@vikes.csuohio.edu Feb 09, 2018 1. Introduction Home Automation is an approach to provide a network in the house which links computers and peripheral equipment like dish washers, washing machines, microwaves, sub systems like Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and other electrical appliances. The aim of the project is to control home appliances…

Introduction “What one man calls God, another calls the laws of physics.” [1]. Nikola Tesla was born in the industrial age under the Austrian empire on 10th July 1856. Being raised with advance knowledge of engineering and science, Tesla started his career with the emerging electric power industry in the early 1880’s for whom he worked for until the late 1880’s. His first significant achievement happens with AC or Alternating Current. He has owned the patents for the Alternating Current…

Energy Management is a process that can be utilized to ensure the effective and sensible use of energy and energy related systems to reduce losses, save energy, become sustainable, and more environmentally conscious. TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) as a government owned utility should be cognizant and controlling of their energy usage and patterns while being a good steward to the environment. Energy Management has been a part of the company for some time, but there are things that could be…

The control unit of the project is an embedded system as it is embedded into a small circuit with a microcontroller. The software of the project is developed with the knowledge we gained from the software engineering course. The Arduino programming language used in the project is quite similar to C programming and Java programming. Those courses helped us to write the program for the project. The embedded systems course teaches about Pulse Width modulation,…

While working with highly sophisticated avionics systems and electrical systems, I became completely fascinated with weather radars, flight management computers, and radio control units. As I got de opportunity to work with these systems more often, my knowledge and interest grew as well, arousing my curiosity about…

Isiminger, senior electrical engineer in The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) office of engineering and safety in Washington, D.C. says, "the most common injuries that are sustained when dealing with high voltage or when working on a construction site are caused by overhead or underground electrical lines." In an article by Darlene Bremer, she states "electrocutions kill an average of 143 construction workers each year. More than half of the electrocutions of electrical…

2.8 Plan and Timeline Phase I research will require only the resources supplied by UMBC and RLM Communications. Additional resources will be required in Phase II and those will need to be secured ahead of our Phase II timeline. In Phase I, the following timeline will be required to secure the stated resources: 3 The Innovation (1-3 Pages) 3.1 Description A detailed description of our innovation is provided in the Technical Discussion and R&D Plan. 3.2 Technical Challenges and Risks…

I think trying to perfect the wave generator used within the CHAMP would be an ideal area of study for me that incorporates my electrical engineering education with my physics background. This would be a stepping-stone to future technologies. For example, a small hand held HPM weapon would allow soldiers to eliminate visible or nearby enemy electronics without need for aerial support. Code…
