Essays on Electrical Engineering

Abstract

Introduction The history of Europe indicates that communication in the region was only limited to certain route maps. The route maps were drawn to connect different stations with orders being sent out with messages. Although in some cases the message was written covering sensitive issues, the messages were dictated to the messenger and repeated to the receiver. This system was highly inconvenient since the individuals were often pushed into placing their trust on an individual and the telegraph came to end this (Carey 12). Distortion of the messages often led to the need for repetition or affected how well ...

Electrical engineering is, in its most simple form, the creation of an electrical system, and “may be the most unrecognized driving force behind modern living” (Jorgensen, 2014, p. 2). Anything that uses electricity – from simple to complex – is created and maintained via electrical engineering (Jorgensen, 2014). Originally responsible for creation and implementation of electrical power systems to homes and businesses, as well as creation and maintenance of transistors after their invention in 1947 (Jorgensen, 2014), it has a much wider range of applications today. Modern electrical engineering is responsible for computers, cell phones, batteries, residential or commercial wiring, light switches, ...
