Lab 2 Summary In this lab, the purpose was to understand how to use a DMM to measure different things like resistances, current, and voltages as well as how to successfully comprehend the electrostatic relationship between various objects. In the first part of our lab we learned how to use a Digital Multimeter by using a simulator to draw diagrams of circuits. This helped give us a basic understanding that when dealing with a circuit and tools like a DMM, you have to connect wires to certain…
What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had in the field, such as volunteer work, employment, participation in student organizations and activities, and what you have gained from your involvement. My interest in computer science developed because I’m a rebel. My grandfather was a principle of an elementary school, and he thought the computers are evil because the computers and the internet stops people from learning.…
Upon graduating, he attended Princeton University, where he graduated with 2 Bachelor of Science degrees in electrical engineering and computer science. Slide 4 (Industry)- One of the industries he works in is the e-commerce industry, an industry that basically sells or trades goods or services over the internet. Jeff Bezos is a leader in the industry, his company…
Safety in the Electrical Field In today’s world, every job pursued comes with a certain level of risk. Whether it be a financial risk or risk of a physical injury, one must be prepared to face anything. Electricians are at an extremely high risk of causing physical harm to themselves while on the job. As the number of electricians who enter the work force continues to rise each year, the risk of on-the-job injuries doubles. Some of the most common, yet dangerous risks electricians face every day…
The dogs represent my love for them and my loyalty to my friends. I think that if you are going to lie and gossip about your friends, then you shouldn't have them. The bear represents that in the morning, I am a bear. I absolutely HATE getting up in the morning. My parents even call me a bear sometimes. The “S” with the tree in it is the Stanford University logo. I want to go there for college when I get older. It is very hard to get into, so I want to get a scholarship there. The Florida…
We are in an age of prime technological growth containing a myriad of divergent innovations. When I look at the world around me, all I see is science and engineering. Technology is the foundation for which we can grow and advance as a society, and I strive to be a part of that progress; I strive, for this reason, to be an engineer. I am plaid in this way, and therefore, there is something about Carnegie Mellon University that distinctively calls out to me. The amount of emphasis that is put on…
Portable appliance testing (PAT) Precaution needs to be taken when maintaining a computer system as it ensures that you are safe from any danger caused by portable electrical equipment .e.g. you are likely to get electrical shock when you open up PC if It is not unplugged from the socket and you can also scrape or cut your hands with sharp object if you are not careful when dealing with RAM or Fan. Also you are likely to get burns if the computer is left on for a very long time as it cause fire…
I chose to pursue a degree in Computer Science because it will give me the opportunity to do what I love to do for the rest of my life. My personality type almost always forces me to think through and consider every possible option and outcome for every decision that I make. I often find myself struggling over the simplest things such as what to order at a restaurant and how I can best apply my coupons. A decision of that caliber in no way compares to the decision of what to do with the rest of…
Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC). It was developed by John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry. John Vincent Atanasoff had been a professor at Iowa State that had taught physics and mathematics. He was introduced to Mr. Berry by Harold W. Anderson, an electrical engineering professor, after Atanasoff told him what kind of person he was looking for. Apparently Berry was exactly that man because that was who he recommended. The computer was then built from 1937 to 1942 at Iowa State University.…
The technological advance that is moving us towards a more globalized society, is computers. Computers have had a significant impact on globalizing the world. There are many benefits of computers such as communication and helping improve medical science. At the same time, there are many potential negative impacts such as cyber theft and loss of jobs. Overall, I believe the positives of computers far outweigh the negative impacts of computers. First of all, computers have had a huge…
