I believe electrical engineering students should be thought how to think like an engineer. They should be able to consider practical limitations in solving real life problems. Whenever they face a new problem they should be able to split that problem into smaller parts that are manageable. For each sub-problem, they should have the ability to choose a suitable model that considers the physical, computational, safety and time constraints.
Completing an engineering project is not possible without successful collaboration with other groups that work on the same project. Students should learn how to document their results thoroughly and manage small projects.
Technology is advancing rapidly, and as a consequence, the job market in electrical engineering is changing. Jobs that are available now require a new set of skills and capabilities that did not exist at the time students have started their studies. Furthermore, students would have a more prosperous future in an industrial environment if classes have prepared them to adopt readily new work and job duties that they will encounter during their careers.
Also, the teachings should prepare students for advance studies in grad schools and lead them to a life long learning.
I think one of the best methods for electrical engineering students to acquire the mentioned qualities is by practicing them during school. Despite the fact that the engineering curriculum provides necessary classes to teach fundamental concepts in mathematics, physics, and engineering to students, and teaches them to use different measurement and test equipment in laboratory classes, it would be nice as a teacher to envision one or couple of general project for each course.
These projects can be drawn...

During the first year of college, I was part of the organization in Iran that was responsible for designing problems and organizing national competitions and training camps for students who were interested in physics Olympiad. I traveled to different cities of Iran and held short workshops for high school students who were interested in physics during that time.
I enjoy teaching classes in coding theory, information theory, communications, digital signal processing, signals and systems, discrete mathematics, probability theory, estimation and linear system theory. I would be happy to adopt existing courses or develop new courses that integrate smoothly with the curriculum.
In this assignment, a practicing engineer that has experience in working in project management was interviewed. The purpose of the interview is to increase my understanding of what engineers do at the workplace and to educate future engineers on how to become successful in their fields.
A world-class engineering student, also known as an “expert learner,” is characterized by taking charge of their learning process, being active in their approach to learning, being motivated and disciplined as well as setting specific goals for themself. Becoming a world-class engineering student is a process that takes time and diligence. In order to become a world-class engineering student, I will have to identify where I stand currently in terms of goal setting, community building, academic development and personal development, where a world-class engineering student would be in each of those areas, and what I have to do in order to become a world-class engineering student.
From a very young age, I have enjoyed reading a wide spectrum of topics. However, during high school, I had become preoccupied with physics during my studies and readings, and so I began to focus my attention upon the materials that further shed light on the science. The more I read, the more I became intrigued with the interrelations between matter, energy, and time and space motion illustrated through the science. Therefore, motivated to become one of Saudi Arabia’ few female physicists, upon graduating from high school I opted to major in the science that captivated me like no other....
The foundational documents helped me realized that student engagement is important when trying to retain and developed them. There are two key components in engagement (Wolf-Wendel et. al., 2009). The first component is the amount of work that students put into their education and activities that lead to their experiences and student success (Wolf-Wendel et. al., 2009). The second is how higher education allocate resources and learning opportunities to motivate students to attend and develop from (Wolf-Wendel et. al., 2009). The Student Personnel Point of View, 1937 philosophy proposes that we should develop the student as whole instead of developing them intellectually. According to The Student Personnel Point of View, 1949 it is the campus community to develop a student physically, socially, emotionally, and
Engineering careers create millions of jobs, all specific to the minds of mathematic and scientific individuals. From the beginning of humankind, engineering has been prevalent in society. Every day, engineering exposes the world to revolutionary structural, biological, and chemical advancements. Some of these innovations change how the world functions. For instance, the creation of suspension bridges gave way to fluent travel, and the design of compact batteries allowed for advancements in technology. Engineering has a diverse history, rigorous education requirements, and genuine real world applications. Two notable forms of engineering are civil engineering and chemical engineering.
In CELT’s (Center for Education Leadership and Technology) twenty plus years of technology and education project management we have successfully completed and observed hundreds of technology projects. The majority of the technology projects we see are good projects. If three essential project management ingredients were successfully implemented in a consistent manner; however, a good technology project could easily become a great technology project.
... of matters confronting engineers. I believe that an electrical engineer must choose how to advance when the impact of new machinery is not completely predictable or understood. As an engineer, you have a pressing desire to extend our biological capabilities and address the burgeoning needs for energy, water, housing, transportation, etc. This desire, I believe, could result in a flawed sense of security about the functionality of a machine. This could further result in ignoring possible repercussions and side effects. Overtime, we have seen a myriad of engineering catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans Levee system and the Fukushima Reactor Meltdown. These examples enlighten me to the fact that I must pay critical attention to how my work as an engineer must be done without producing environmental alterations or harm to the society and environment.
Electrical Engineers research, develop, design, and test electronic components, products, and systems for commercial, industrial, medical, military, and scientific applications (Cosgrove 749). They are concerned with devices that use small amounts of electricity that make up electronic components such as integrated circuits and microprocessors. By applying principles and techniques of electronic engineering they design, develop, and manufacture products such as computers, telephones, radios, and stereo systems (EGOE, 121). Electrical engineers touch everyone lives through the things they have designed or created. Electrical engineers have invented the lights in your house, the television, the stereo, the telephone, computers, and even your doctor’s blood pressure gauge (Stine 300).
On successful completion of my master’s program, I will be able to implement this knowledge in an Indian industry more confidently and effectively. By working in the field of Electronics I would like give my share in enhancing the life standards of my countrymen. I am certain that my contribution, small or great, will prove to be another step in development and success of my country and its people.
It is important to have the whole team involved and every team member should about the status of the project and identify there responsibility towards the project success.
Every job involves certain skills and abilities, depending on which engineering path a person chooses to pursue. Important skills such as listening to what others are saying, taking time to understand and comprehend what they mean and want, and asking que...
Electrical engineering deals with electricity, electro-magnetism and electronics. It also covers power, control systems, telecommunications and signal processing. These engineers are usually concerned with large-scale electrical systems such as motor control and power transmission, as well as utilizing electricity to transmit energy. Electrical engineers may work on a diverse range of technologies, from the design of household appliances, lighting
Electrical engineering, I believe, is the only field where one’s work becomes the most instrumental part of one’s mundane activity and life, and the output produced stays forever to credit. My perception is that, this field requires a lot of patience, perseverance and management skills in order to be successful. The connection that electrical engineering offered between me and this world is the fact that you can become a person who can impact so many lives. This made me pursue Electrical Engineering. After four years of undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering, I feel completely satisfied with my decision to choose this branch of engineering as my career option as it has revealed the most pragmatic and down-to-earth approach to tackling
Lifelong learning is the process of gaining knowledge based on an individual’s interest and developing skills throughout the life to improve their life irrespective of traditional educational schooling activities. This long term process influences an individual’s personal development and improves their thinking and thought process thus recreating themselves in a new experience of the positiveness. These learning’s can be of different types ranging from the home education, cultural learning, personal learning, spiritual learning, learning to keep up to date with technologies and local medical sciences education etc. Learning through experiences in life helps an individual to visualize the purpose of life from a new prospective that inspires them to be self-contended.
Provide choices for students: we should always provide students with more choices, so they will be able to work in the categories that they have interest in. for example: let’s say it’s a science class and the topic is systems in the body. And the choices under this topic is given like digestive system, nervous system, etc… and students can choose any body system they like to write about. This way student will learn how to make decisions on their own and they will be intrinsically motivated.
