Electrical Engineering Alexander Rodriguez English 1 Honors

Introduction  Everything now is electrical from TV’s to computers and all the way down to our very own tooth brushes. Even though they are a lot of electrical uses we still are trying to make more ways simpler and easier. All of those things that we try to create require electricity. When a car messes up or another huge machine is messed up an electrical engineer is usually the person that has to fix it. As modern technology gets better the use of electrical engineers or more needed.

What the job entails  From radar to motors, electrical engineers design, implement, maintain, and improve all the electronics everyone uses everyday this is the basic life of an electrical engineer. Electrical engineering is a diverse field and positions are available in offices, industrial plants, factories and laboratories.

Past Engineering  By the 1800 Alessandro made the voltaic pile which was an earlier invention of the electric battery. But not until the 19 th century that electric engineering was starting to intensify. Georg Ohm determined the difference between electric current and potential difference in a conductor. Michael Faraday is the person who discovered electromagnetic induction in There is also James Clark Maxwell who published the theory of electricity and magnetism in During these years all of this was also considered physics.

19 th Century  In 1895, Guglielmo Marconi strengthened the hertzian wireless methods. In 1901 he sent wireless waves that weren’t affected by the curvature of the earth. Later Marconi’s wireless signals were being sent across the Atlantic. He had created the magnetron which would later help the creation of the microwave oven in 1946 by Percy Spencers. In 1934 the British military began to make strides toward Radar under the direction of Dr Wimperis, culminating in the mission of the first radar station located at Bawdsey in August 1936.

Research Skills  The search to me was the hard part of the whole research paper. Even though I kind of had a hard time looking for all the info I needed on my I-search paper, going from website to website I learned quite a few things while researching this topic. I learned how to know whether the information I was getting was either good or bad. I went to Google then I went Wikipedia like most people would but I did not use them for info. I used them I guess you can say as a stepping stone to get one thing that I could really go into depth with. I looked at past electrical engineering and to present. Even though most websites repeated what another website had said I still had to keep looking.
