What the difference between electrical engineering and electrical technology engineering?

Posted on November 26, 2008 By admin in technology

whats the difference between the two? What kind of jobs are available to the technology one, and which is more likely to get hired? How much more do engineers make then technology majors ? are Electrical technology really engineers ?

According to this:
Students of electrical engineering technology learn the design, drafting, and technical skills they need to assist engineers and put engineering ideas into action.

It sounds like the technology version is more like an AS degree, so you can help an engineer. A technician really. If you are the helper, you always make less. How much is relative, but in CA a new BS. EE can expect anywhere from $55-$65k to start. So the AS degree will only get you into the upper $20k to mid $30k.

There is a huge difference between a technician and an engineer. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of very smart technicians, who can out design some engineers I’ve met. But typically a technician can design stuff as a hobby, but an engineers designs need to be production proof, having no component tolerance issues over 10k to millions of units.
That’s why they get paid the big bucks.

What are some examples of fluid technology?

Posted on November 26, 2008 By admin in technology

I need to know some examples of fluid technology - at least 10 - for a school project. I had a sheet with examples but we haven't had school for the last two days and it's in my locker.

Somebody help?
I searched all the major search engines and I just got company names and things like that. I know that one example would be hydraulic brakes.

there is a long list:

What new invention would you create with an already existing technology?

Posted on November 17, 2008 By admin in technology

What new invention would you create with an already existing technology?

For example, some new technologies have been already invented such as sunglasses with a build-in mp3 player. What other new invention can be created like this?

An active power factor correction system using a bank of switched capacitors and inductors. The switches would be semiconductors (MOSFETs or IGBTs) for maximum efficiency.

How has technology changed the way people work nowdays?

Posted on November 16, 2008 By admin in technology

How has the new developing technology, improved people’s working styles and conditions, and how it has affected them?

Now I can spend my free time playing on the internet rather than talking to stupid co-workers.

What kind of touchscreen technology is behind touchscreens that only register presses with a stylus?

Posted on November 12, 2008 By admin in technology

These kind of touchscreen kiosks are at just about every supermarket now– when you pay for your purchase with a debit card for instance, you must make selections as to “cash back” and “correct total,” in addition to inputting your PIN number.

These screens have never worked for me by simply pressing them with my fingers. I always have to pick up and use the rubber-tipped stylus.

What is the technology driving this type of touchscreen interface?

I think the LCD type screen uses a touch sensitive web or fabric underneath to detect the touch from the stylus however the type of touch or multi touch screen which is licensed to companies like Apple for use on the iPhone or iPod touch uses Haptic touch technology.

Haptic touch and multi touch/gesturing are the next steps of touch screens which are being pioneered by Apple

Apple bought a company called Finger Works a few years back who are pioneers in multi touch and gesturing technology

What new technology or predictions has Creation science produced and independently verified?

Posted on November 7, 2008 By admin in Uncategorized

What independent branches of science has made predictions that matches Creation Science’s predictions or technology produced?

Valid scientific theory must make predictions that can be verified. And further, results in new technology. What predictions has creation science made that has been independently verified?

Oh, there was that bit in the bible where Jesus turned dihydrogen monoxide into ethyl alcohol… or the part where he walked on surface tension… oh wait… its just a story…………….. P.S. please learn how to use grammar correctly.
