My final experience

Hi everybody I'm here posting about what I Learn during these trimester with our beloved teacher doris :D .. well When the classes begun I thought it would be really boring to have my own blog and posting things on it, but while the time passed it become interesting .. I didn't know that there would be so many pages to look out for info and news about electronics and that kind of stuff .. all those online dictionaries were of a lot of help. 

To do all those works on classes where really fun and it was actually the first time that I learned something new in all the english classes that I saw in the past three years .. well at the end it was kind of fun .. I learned some interesting things and made new friends .. :D

Jobs

Hi everyone here are the jobs that I serch on the net, I choose these two because I found them really interesting and while I was reading the Description of both I was just thinking if I work in these I will learn a lot. THe first one is for an entry level engineer and the second one is the one that I dream because it's about designs and build automation and robotics equipment and that is way I'm studying this because for me robotics is our future.

Robonaut 2


Hellooooo guys, I was just now looking for so info about new tech and found this article about a new robot made by the NASA and GM,every day every second there's someone who's building something extraordinary and I believe that the robotics it's getting more and more impressive, read the article it's kind of cool :)

Robonaut 2 is expected to be an exemplary co-worker. General Motors and NASA on Thursday introduced Robonaut 2, a humanoid robot being jointly developed at the Johnson Space Center in Houston for use in both the automotive and aerospace industries.

Robonaut 2 is stronger, more dexterous, and more technologically advanced than the original Robonaut, according to NASA. Robonaut, which was developed 10 years ago by NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, was intended--as its name implies--for use as a robot astronaut.

analyzing a NAS


Hi guys .. here is some info about how to make a NAS (network-attached-storage)

Make it better, but make it cheaper, too. This seeming contradiction confronts consumer-electronics engineers designing each new generation’s worth of hardware in comparison with its predecessor.


Western Digital’s My Book World Edition NAS device is so named because users can potentially access it from anywhere in the world. Befitting its front-panel illumination scheme, the second-generation iteration is commonly known as the “white-light” model, which follows the initial “blue-ring” version from two years before. This highly integrated design includes only a few chips. The backside (not shown) of the PCB (printed-circuit board) is virtually bare.

1. The heart of the My Book World Edition is Oxford Semiconductor’s OXE810 SOC (system on chip) 2. You waste intra-NAS performance if the network connection is the speed bottleneck. The PLX800 integrated only a 10/100-Mbps Ethernet PHY (physical) layer, so Western Digital bolted an external 1-GbE (gigabit-Ethernet) transceiver to the SOC’s PCI (peripheral-component-interconnect) port.
3. Some reviewers of the first-generation My Book World Edition complained about its low performance, both from a user-interface-response perspective and with respect to its over-network read and write speeds.Western Digital seemingly focused attention on this shortcoming with the second-generation design, whose PLX810 contains an ARM9 core running at 367 MHz versus 200 MHz on the PLX800 used in the first-generation My Book World Edition NAS.
ENJOY haha!

Bottleneck: is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources
Noun
Pronunciation: \ˈbä-təl-ˌnek\

Seemingly: apparently; as far as one knows. Seemingly, he had few friends left
Adverb
Pronunciation: [ˈsiːmɪŋlɪ]

Layer: a single thickness of some material covering a surface
Noun
Pronunciation: \ˈlā-ər, ˈler\

Bolted: A sudden, shocking surprise or turn of events
Verb
Pronunciation: bōlt

Bare: lacking a natural, usual, or appropriate covering
adjective
Pronunciation: \ˈber\

-drawing skills

- Analytical reasoning

-Skills in mathematics and physics

-inclination to investigate

5. What job considerations were you looking for after you completed your education?

I Would Like to work on a industry where I could develop my designing skills

In my school life, I enjoyed every stage because to me it was moment when I learned and improved my skills to solve those complex problems and I was able to see that I could do it, and I was good at it.

7. from your perspective, what is the most difficult part of being an engineering student?

The hardest  part of being an engineering  student, it’s that you must have an analytical reasoning which you must improve every moment because, the complexity of every problem increases while time passes, and so must your skills

8. What are your plans for the future?

My plans are to create my own company so I could design new devices and processes  and become and important professional in my field of expertise

Greenpeace electronics


Hi everyone .. here I'm again in class xD .. here is some info about how to be greener electronics ..

Greenpeace is using its latest green-ratings guide to press consumer electronics companies to do more than just clean up their own act.

The 14th quarterly "Guide to Greener Electronics," (PDF) which rates hardware makers on chemical waste, e-waste, and recycling efforts, now assesses each company's public efforts on environmental issues.

The report, issued Thursday, considers whether a company actively lobbies for industrywide laws that would prevent other companies from using environmentally damaging materials, as part of their corporate sustainability obligations.

Maybe you will see it useful so here is the link! read it beacuse it's becoming important to be green nowdays
