Engineering and Technology Professions
Published in Quamrul H. Mazumder, Introduction to Engineering, 2018
Engineering is a learned and noble profession. Engineers develop products and services to make the world a better place to live. Engineers, engineering technologists, and technicians work together in a team to achieve common goals and objectives. The future of engineering lies among products and services that focus on sustainability, health, and well-being of individuals and society. The employment outlook for all engineering disciplines is positive with projected growths of 5%–20% in different areas. Engineers need to develop competencies beyond technical skills such as communication and team working skills to succeed in the competitive global environment.
Introduction to Mechatronic Systems
Published in Bogdan M. Wilamowski, J. David Irwin, Control and Mechatronics, 2018
Electrical and electronic engineering is the field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers an extensive range of areas including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing, smart sensors, and telecommunications.
The quality of argumentation and metacognitive reflection in engineering co-Design
Published in European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Fifty-five Finnish undergraduate students (seven women and 48 men) and six international undergraduate students (two women and four men) formed eight groups in the experimental component of the authentic university course during the fall term. Each group comprised six to eight students. Groups 1, 2, 3, and 5 had at least one international student. Groups 6 and 7 comprised only men. The international students were from China, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, and Thailand. The majority of the students (n = 48) were preparing to write a thesis in Finnish or English for a bachelor’s or master’s degree in communications engineering in the Department of Communications and Networking at the School of Electrical Engineering. One student was from the School of Science, and one student represented another national research institute. There were one or two students from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Signal Processing and Acoustics, and Electronics and Nanoengineering.
The negative exponential transformation: a linear algebraic approach to the Laplace transform
Published in International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The real Laplace transform is first encountered in the second year of the undergraduate curriculum of South African universities primarily as a tool to solve ordinary differential equations (see Section 2). The Laplace transform is a versatile integral transform used widely in physics, electrical engineering, control engineering and signal processing. In signal processing, the Laplace transform is a transformation from the time domain where the input signal are functions of time to the frequency domain where the inputs are now functions of complex angular frequency. We will address the signal processing approach of the Laplace transform as functions of angular frequency as poles (see Example 4.1).
On a New Stochastic Ordering and Aging Classes Based on the Generalized Moment-Generating Function: Theory and Applications
Published in American Journal of Mathematical and Management Sciences, 2019
Convolution is a mathematical tool with multiple applications, including statistics, computer vision, imaging, signal processing, electrical engineering, and differential equations. In probability theory, the distribution function of the sum of two independent random variables is the convolution of their individual distribution. Now, we want to clarify whether GL ordering is closed under convolution.
