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…

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…

Beyond School Books: Podcast #83, Girls Who Code In anticipation of the International Day of the Girl Child, UNICEF podcast moderator Alex Goldmark interviews Rashma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. The Girls Who Code organization seeks challenge many of the culturally reinforced perception and constructs believed as contributing to the low and declining representation of women within the computer sciences industries of North America. The organization provides confidence enriching…

The power pack was connected to a non-power electrical outlet. 2. Alligator-clip wires were attached to the D.C. outputs of the power pack. 3. An ammeter with already an alligator clip wire attached, was connected to one end of a wire that was attached to the power pack (See Diagram A). 4. The opposite…

Introduction Steam engine is the first one or one of first engineering tools to be engineered and there are many other tools that are created such as the different types of engineering that are in us today to build those things such as mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical engineering, computer engineering and many others. According to USC Viterbi “School of Engineering Civil engineering began in 4000 and 2000 BC in Egypt during the times of the creation of the pyramids and with the…

an essential part is to evaluate the losses in the motor. Losses in the machine is determined by the structure and working condition. Losses in the machines can generally be divided into two groups: electrical losses and mechanical losses. Electrical loss indicates the losses generated by the electrical interacting and circuit heat generating in the machine, generally includes copper loss and iron loss (also known as core loss). Mechanical loss is mainly generated by the friction in the machine…

Letter of Motivation Steve Jobs once said that the only way to do great work is to love what you do and you must have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. All my life I have been driven by this in quest of dreams. Some people are afraid of dreaming or do nothing but dream. But few dream, and work to make their dreams true. I put myself in the second category. Raised in a liberal and progressive family, I have been fortunate to have parents who have instilled in me good values and…

my major by encouraging me to see if this certain major will enable me to use it so I can find a way to help others to my best capabilities. Specifically, this would be designing new ways to effectively provide electrical power to those in need of it. A concern that I have about Electrical Engineering is knowing if this major is the correct one to carry out my passion. I also question whether or not I will have gain enough knowledge and skills by completing this program in order to make an…

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Name: Nimmagadda Naga Sai Bhavishya Proposed Major:MS in Information Technology My interest in computers developed early from my childhood as young girl I always fascinated by all the wonders and comforts that science and engineering has given to mankind. This interest developed as I grew up and as gathered more knowledge about computers and was certainly influenced by family members who always encouraged me to pursue my career in engineering. This longing is the…
