Study Notes
Communication Engineering
- Communication channels, also known as mediums, can be optical fibers, radio waves, microwaves, and infrared beams.
- Optical fibers are thin, flexible tubes made of glass or plastic, transmitting light over long distances, faster than cables.
- Radio waves are used for ground TV, radio programs, and mobile phone calls.
- Microwaves are used to transmit programs and mobile phone calls.
- Infrared beams are used in remote controls.
Electrical Engineering
- Electrical engineers design, develop, and produce electrical equipment like electric motors, generators, transformers, and radar.
- Radar (Radio Detection And Ranging) is an electric system for finding far objects using radio waves.
- Electrical engineers also work on electrical circuits in machines like cars, airplanes, and buildings.
Mechanical Engineering
- Mechanical engineers design, produce, and maintain machines or mechanical systems like water pumps, power plants, air conditioning units, car engines, and car jacks.
- They learn about CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) to create and manufacture products.
- Mechanical engineers work on building mechanical systems, which are groups of devices that work together to provide an important function for a building.
Mechatronic Engineering
- Mechatronic engineering combines mechanics and electronics.
- The word "mechatronics" was first coined in Japan in the late 1960s to refer to the synergistic blend of mechanics and electronics.
Industrial Engineering
- Industrial engineers apply engineering principles to understand and solve industrial problems.
- They optimize complex processes or systems, developing and implementing integrated systems of people, knowledge, information, equipment, and materials.
- Industrial engineers test employee productivity and manufacturing processes to increase productivity, reduce waste, and improve quality.
Petroleum Engineering
- Petroleum engineers focus on the extraction of petroleum and natural gas from the earth.
- They work in exploration, refining, and production of petroleum and natural gas.
- Petroleum engineers are needed in the upstream sector, which includes companies working in exploration and production.
Biomedical Engineering
- Biomedical engineers combine engineering, medicine, and biology to improve healthcare technology.
- They work in construction, energy, automotive, food production, materials, medicine, sales, transportation, etc.
- Biomedical engineers build mechanical devices and work on healthcare technology.
