Career Description : Designing A Boost Converter

the articles I read, I came across information about "Energy Story”, "Conducting Solutions" and a video clip titled "Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits".

What is an electrical circuit? How can you manipulate components and design a circuit that will do what you want it to? This guided activity will introduce you to some components, tools, and concepts that are fundamental in electronics. It will allow you to investigate and discover:

Due to the rapidly growing role of electronics, electronic components, such as diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits are now omnipresent, impacting today’s society. Therefore, it is important to analyze projects and/or experiments related to diodes, transistors, and other components, to determine whether these projects and/or experiments bring us closer to a sustainable society, which is a society that satisfies current needs without compromising posterity’s future needs and fosters consonance between humans and their surroundings[1].

At an early age, I gravitated towards electronics as a means of distraction. However, my curiosity grew immensely when I understood that technology had the potential to solve many real-world problems. My interest in engineering was inspired by my father who devoted his life as a mechanic for twenty years. As an expert in his field, he taught me about the

In the present generation, almost every devices run through batteries. Batteries are a collection of cells where their chemical reactions create a flow of electricity in a circuit. Every battery consists of three essential components, which are an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte that chemically reacts with the other two components. In the 17th and 18th century, electricity was just a curiosity, but as time passed by, it became one of the most important and required tools. For instance, any kind of remotes in order to have an access to any kind of devices requires batteries. Alessandro Volta was the one to make the crucial invention that caused the transformation in our lives. Our lives wouldn’t be like now, with no laptops, phones, and

Through the process of meeting and working with my mentor I have learned a great deal about the world of electrical engineering. My father, who works in the field of electrical engineering first sparked my interest in the subject. He also made me interested in my project of building a Tesla Coil by recalling stories of rebuilding breakers and testing 400,000 volt transformers. I then watched videos of people building complex electric devices in their garage. I then met my mentor and spoke to him and my father to learn about the world of an electrical engineer.

Did you know, that energy is absolutely everywhere? Energy flows from the your car battery to the walls of your home. In "Energy Story", the author explains how electricity works through atoms and particles. "Conducting Solutions" explains how different liquids work with electricity. Finally, during the TED video "Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits", AnnMarie talks about how you can make a simple electric circuit using home play-doh and kitchen materials. Each of these sources have a different purpose, but all three describe and talk about electricity.

My interest in Electronics sprouted from my childhood days. When I was five, I always had the habit of breaking remote cars and planes, and explore what is actually present inside. Governing the operations of the car or television by a remote from a distance was an enigmatic concept to visualize at that stage. So, what actually constitutes the design of the remote was a question that always been pondering my mind. It is the small electronic design that controls the entire operation. Thus this habit went on up to the extent that , I developed the hobby of breaking all the worn out gadgets and goods such as laptop chargers, cell phones etc. and have a collection of electronic design present in those gadgets.

In two articles, "Energy Story" and "Conducting Solutions", I learned about electrical charges, ions, conducting energy, and what atoms are like when they are broken down. In a video, Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits, I learned about conducting electricity using simple things, which, in this case, was Play-doh. One thing these two articles and this video share in common are that they all have something to do with energy and electricity.

In this case, knowledge of electricity was used to understand the nervous system upon which future technologies, specifically the telegraph, would we understood, bringing the metaphor full circle from technology to organism and back to technology. The next circuit explored by Otis is the battery or Voltaic pile developed by Volta, who openly modelled it after the electric organ of the torpedo fish and emphasizing the physiological effects of metallic electricity in order to appeal to broad audience who were already convinced of the electrophysiological connection. Volta’s technological discovery encouraged others, like Humboldt to study animal electricity, bringing the metaphorical circuit back to the organism from technology. Later studies of animal electricity created further metaphorical circuits. Discoveries in electromagnetic induction allowed electricity to be detected in organic and technological circuits, promoting their further study and further analogy. Reymond began a metaphorical circuit when her he based his models of excitation of nerves and muscles on Faraday’s descriptions of induction in electrical circuits and

As I went through the assigned reading, I was scared to find an incredible amount of previously unknown information. I felt like I should have a firm grasp on the history of computer science. Then I took a tangent path into electrical and mechanical engineering as I learned about transistors and capacitors.

Throughout this experiment we looked at basic principles of DC circuits and electrical currents by measuring the voltages and currents in simple currents. We used Ohm’s law R=V/I and R=E/I and the values of current and voltage to find the resistance of an electric circuit. We also found that the SI unit of volt are Joules/Coulomb and that power is measured in Watts.

Electronics and electricity have come a long way since they were first being discovered. That is not to say that what was originally thought is now wrong or obsolete, but rather has been added to or has been more refined. When most people think of electricity what comes to mind is Ben Franklin with his kite and a key in the middle of the storm. However, that is only one completely minor detail which led to the discovery and the ability to harness and use what was already happening in nature. Only on a scale that could be used by an everyday person. Although it is something we all use every day, most people do not really know who or what has been done in the field of electronics and electricity. Most just take for granted the fact

From the beginning of human existence, man has identified ways to improve the standard of living. Electricity was one of these identified ways. The development of electricity led to the creation of electrical engineering, a challenging vocation that changed and improved our way of life. In this paper I will discuss the history of electrical engineering, the preparation for becoming an electrical engineer, and the actual career.

Electricity is a vast, widely explored subject that humans largely take for granted. This vastness has sparked a large amount of curiosity in the subject. The curiosity has, in turn, sparked a large amount of exploration into the mysterious subject. And because of this, there is an equally vast amount of ways to learn about it, expanding at the same rate of our knowledge on the subject.
