What is Engineering? Dr. Sandra Cruz-Pol Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering UPRM

What is Engineering ? Making a Difference… Solve all types of problems: zNzNew kinds of sport equipment to give players extra edge while keeping safe from injury. zDzDevelop sophisticated security equipment to keep nation safe zCzCreating new medical sensors for health zCzCreating new methods of communication zCzCreating more family time w/ smart appliances

Engineers… Use science, math and other knowledge to come up with solutions that are: zSafe zEffective zEnergy efficient zEconomical zEasy to use

Some Types of Engineers zChemical Eng. – improved food, cosmetics, synthetic clothes zEnvironmental Eng. – recycling methods, ways to purify air, water, soil zBiomedical Eng. – design artificial limbs, medical machines zMechanical Eng. – design cars, robotics, amusement rides.

Electrical Engineering zPower - electricity distribution systems, electronics for control circuits for generation, transmission and usage of electric power. zElectronics - Digital systems, computer architecture zControl Systems - robotics, automation for manufacturing process

Electrical Engineering (cont…) zCommunications Digital Signal Processing, pattern recognition, image processing zElectromagnetics Microwaves, optics, antennas,wireless. radars Image Processing

Electromagnetics Applications: zCommunications Design of microwave circuits and antennas zRemote Sensing Radars and radiometers used to study nature and other objects

More Applications zPropagation yE.g. Ionosphere, short band zFrequency Spectrum   Rays, X-rays, UV, IR, zMedicine yTreat cancer microwaves Hyperthermia yLaser (eyes) zCommunication yRadio, TV, Telephony
