Q:By non related I mean like not a minor in another engineering or computer science. I was thinking about possibly business. What do you think would be the best minor that would give me a better salary/job opportunity?

Minor in a language! Especially if you take Spanish (which 1/3 of the U.S. population now speaks!) or another language widely spoken in the area that you're looking for a job, it'll open up a lot of opportunities for you. It'll look good to potential employers, of course, as you'll be able to talk to more of their clients, and it'll also help you a lot in your personal life! I've been taking Spanish for a long time now, and I can't tell you how many opportunities it's opened up for me. There are so many awesome people I've gotten to know because I speak it, I've been able to help out people (like a woman on her first day of moving to the U.S. and a girl at a homeless shelter) by translating for them, and I've been able to eavesdrop on more conversations/surprise people by randomly speaking to them in Spanish (great fun!) Other languages that might be good for you would be Chinese or Japanese, given all the technological advances happening thereYou might be able to study abroad or do internships with some really cutting-edge companies, and that'd look good to employers. Plus, just the fact that that you could go to conferences or seminars in China or Japan would be very useful. There are a lot of people who will have similar backgrounds to you in engineering, and a language will help set you apart by giving you a really useful, really attractive-to-employers skill!

Q:I don't know a lot about electricity, but I know that on earth we ground our outlets, computers, etc. Do they have a means of grounding electricity in space? Are electrical systems more dangerous on spacecraft?

In electrical engineering, earthing or grounding means literally to make an electrical connection between the ground and a metal part. In practice this is usually done by connecting to the ground pin of an electrical socket, which is itself connected to ground. In permanent installations it can also be done by wiring to a piece of grounded metal, most often a water pipe. The main reason for doing this is safety. If a live wire touches a metal part such as the casing of a washing machine, it will become live or hot. If you were to touch it you would get an electric shock. By grounding the metal part, if a live wire touches it the current will flow through the metal part to the ground. This will usually cause a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to trip, thereby isolating the supply and protecting the user. Despite what a previous answerer said, the ground is not part of the circuit of the electrical supply to your house. A separate conductor, the neutral, serves that purpose. Current only flows into the ground during a fault condition like the one I described above. In electronics, the term ground is often used to mean a part of the circuit which has zero volts on it, and may be used as a return path for electric currents in the circuit and/or a screen against electromagnetic interference. For instance, an electronic engineer may say that a part of the circuit is at 5 volts above ground.

Q:I have been warned that some electrical equipment could possibly be damaged by chinese electrical systems.what voltage system does china use. is the supply unreliable and prone to spikes or surges etc.

Lithium batteries choose a particular charger as they are able to ignite if over charged. they additionally will fail if discharged under 3 volts or so. you may desire to income extra. Edit. confident, some lithium batteries are no longer rechargeable. have been given so used to those that are - from my interest of type plane - that I forgot that some are no longer. Had a glance- those are no longer very lifelike, those cells designed for calculators and so on. stable for purposes the place there is an rather low drain and you choose long existence. no longer a stable thought for motorcycle lamps/torches etc. some chinese language maker has in simple terms positioned those out devoid of concept for what occurs whilst the 1st set of batteries run out. For motorcycle lamps I reccommend lighting fixtures furniture that use AAA or AA batteries, and then decide for NIMH recheargeables - Eneloop type is stable. while you're going for lithium recharchegable then the voltages are all distinctive and the chargers are too. as quickly as you do flow above single cellular lithium chargers then there must be balancing circuitryotherwise there's a hearth threat/threat of cells death. have you ever been following the maximum up-to-date information on the Boeing airliner with lithium batteries ?

Q:I was wondering, if everyone on earth was to disappear and there was no one to work the electrical grid, how long would it take for 1] The electrical power lines themselves to decay?2] The electrical substations to break down?3] The transformer units to break down?4] Any other electrical equipment to break [such as those boxes on the power lines, as well as ANY other piece of equipment on the electric grid]?P.S- Don't give how long it would take for the power stations to stop running, I already know that. Just answer the four questions I asked.

Electrical substations may break down. 2]. Substations require regular maintenance.

Q:I have some questions about being and working as an electrical engineer. They are kind of random but please answer in as best detail as possible. (career project here)- Where do engineers work? In labs, in offices, or what? Any pictures- What do they wear to work (random, I know)- Do they do research, or just repair electrical equipment and what not?- How would a Ph.D. effect ones career.- Hows does on become a robotics engineer?

yes its a diverse field good for carrier

Q:i also need to no its geography majour cities wild animals places to visit population and famouse people so plz help me out here

In manufacturing, Missouri had a competitive advantage in greeting card publishing, automatic merchandising machines, lumber and wood products (i.e. sawmill products, hardwood floors, wood containers/pallets, and furniture), ammunition, paper products (i.e. paper bags, paper sanitary products, envelopes, and paper), and lastly in motor vehicles, which was substantially represented (i.e. motor vehicles, boats, motorcycles, aircraft, internal combustion engines, motors and generators, fans, and heating and cooling equipment). In the extractive industries, Missouri had a competitive advantage in lead mining, clay cricks, lime and stone quarrying, paving and asphalt products, and cement. In agriculture and food products, Missouri had a competitive advantage in agricultural production products (i.e. agricultural chemicals, grass seeds, prepared feeds, feed grains, hay, cattle, hogs, and oil crops) and in manufactured food products (i.e. pet foods, malt beverages, pasta products, poultry processing, pickles and sauces, roasted coffee, cheese and condensed milk, and cereals).

Q:Hi we are going on holiday to Brazil and staying at the Super Club Breezes Hotel in Costa De Sauipe where they have 220 v AC but while we are in Brazil we are planning on also visiting Rio and Iguassu Falls where we understand they have 110 v AC. What exactly will we have to buy and take with us so that we can use UK hair dryers, phone chargers and other assorted electrics. Thanks AJ

All you need is an adapter, but the hotel you are staying at will provide one for you, upon request.

Q:After being around him I noticed and so did he that lights turn off as he passes them, and every time he would come in my bedroom my light bulbs would blow out. Sometimes when we kiss he shocks my lips a little and doesn't notice it.Okay don't think I'm weird but I was researching such unusual phenomena and I noticed people mentioning alien abductions and that people who were abducted and DON'T remember it (because nobody does) will have a weird relationship with electrical devices, including disrupting the connection by being around them.Anyone want to talk about such things? Interesting.

Some how for God knows only the reason I moved into a house in Concord Ohio with a Witch Family. In the dead of day the old lady came walking up to me wearing sun glasses and had a presence I'll never forget. So, go tell the government that! Had to get away. Gee, girls are cute?

Q:for example, a 3ds?

There is a video on youtube of how to take apart a 3ds. This might make you void your warranty.
