Welcome to this months blog entry. As I promised last month, I would like to give some insight into how engineers view their own profession, and what kind of things to expect if you chose a career in software engineering yourself. So I’ve asked a friend of mine to be my interviewee… ME : Give […]
Well, this has been a great start to the year 2017 if you are keen on technology ! There are lots of easy to access resources that have appeared on the internet recently, and in a matter of minutes you can have at your fingertips amazing tutorials, project instructables, learning resources, product specs, in fact […]
Welcome back. In the last post we were half way through putting together an I.O.T. system. Let’s recap on things first. The idea behind the Internet Of Things (I.O.T.) is to allow small electronic devices to connect to the internet. It is supposed to be a quick and easy way to take any electronic device […]
So this week I said would be showing you how to connect a device up into the cloud. First a basic overview of some of the technology we are going to be using. The idea behind IoT, or the Internet of Things, is to allow remote connection to an electronic device. There are two ways […]
The new exciting technology that seems to be here to stay is IoT. Have you heard of it ? If not you’ll soon be using it without even knowing it’s here, or there, or everywhere. and believe me it will be everywhere. It is the only, truly omnipresent technology. Before I start discussing what on […]
As an engineer, your future can be blessed with working on profound,maybe even life changing technology. That is,of course,if that is what you want your career to be! You might find yourself working on the latest pandemic iPhone App, the most hotly awaited virtual reality based video game, an Earth shattering AI algorithm capable of […]
As I discussed in my last blog entry, there are two main areas in Computer Engineering, Software and Hardware. I thought it would be good to start a discussion today with the area that I know best,Software Engineering.Since the age of 9,when my parents first bought me an Atari 400 home computer (back in 1980 […]
Some people are already clued up about the way the world of Computer Engineering is composed, and even the way it is currently moving. If you are not one of these people, perhaps you are someone who is confused, or maybe even nonchalant about Computer Engineering, then allow me to elucidate.
One of the fundamental elements of an electrical engineer is knowing about the different types of electric motors. Without electric motors, we would not have power tools, household appliances, or even cars. Those who are looking to enter an online or traditional electrical engineering program, or currently enrolled students, can use this post as a […]
A first look at a circuit diagram may be confusing, but if you can read a subway map, you can read schematics. The purpose is the same: getting from point A to point B. Literally, a circuit is the path that allows electricity to flow. If you know what to look for, it’ll become second […]
