Electrical Engineers Designed This Shoe and That’s How It Should Be

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/electrical-engineers-designed-this-shoe-and-thats-how-it-should-be

Wearable technology is nothing new. Smart devices such as watches and glasses have become commonplace, giving us convenient access to all their features. In the same way that smartphones have untethered us from our desktops, smartwatches have released us from our phones.

Electrical Engineering Inventions That Shaped the World: The Transistor

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/electrical-engineering-inventions-that-shaped-the-world-the-transistor

The invention of the crucial transistor marked a departure from bulky vacuum tubes in favour of cheaper and more portable electronic products. In this first entry in our ‘Electrical Engineering Inventions That Shaped the World’ series, we look at the now-universal component.

Electrical Engineering Discoveries That Shaped the World: Electromagnetism

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/electrical-engineering-discoveries-that-shaped-the-world-electromagnetism

Mobile phones, medical resonance imaging (MRI) scanners and household appliances are just a few of today’s technological devices that function using electromagnetic (EM) fields.

Electrical Engineering Discoveries That Shaped the World: AC and DC Power

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/electrical-engineering-discoveries-that-shaped-the-world-ac-and-dc-power

Fought in 1880 between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, the ‘war of the currents’ defined modern electric power transmission: Edison believed in the use of DC (direct current) power, and Tesla the use of AC (alternating current) power. This article considers both sides of the fence.

Electric Vehicle Motors Could Be Given Boost by New Composite Material

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/electric-vehicle-motors-could-be-given-boost-by-new-composite-material

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a composite material that they claim increases the electrical capacity of copper wires.

Which Electrical Engineering Specialisation is Right for You?

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/which-electrical-engineering-specialisation-is-right-for-you

There are several engineering fields that university students can choose from, such as computer science, civil, mechanical, electrical, and aeronautics. It’s not surprising that students may find it difficult to select one speciality over another when the time comes.

Why Electrical Systems are Necessary for Space Exploration

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/why-electrical-systems-are-necessary-for-space-exploration

This year marks the 50th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history by becoming the first humans to ever step on another celestial body.

Disruptive Electrical Engineering Technologies: Supercapacitors

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/disruptive-electrical-engineering-technologies-supercapacitors

With growing concerns over environmentally-unfriendly materials—as well as of course the often low reliability of batteries—many manufacturers are turning to supercapacitors as the energy storage devices of choice for their applications.

Disruptive Electrical Engineering Technologies: the System-on-Chip

https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/disruptive-electrical-engineering-technologies-the-system-on-chip

Almost every kind of electronic device used today utilises a system-on-chip (SoC). Measuring about the size of a human thumbnail, these chips comprise both software and hardware components that add functionality to electronic devices and equipment.
