Perspectives
Engineering is...
the application of science, mathematics, and technology to the design, fabrication, and use of practical devices and systems.
Electrical Engineering is...
that part of engineering which utilizes electrical and magnetic phenomena to achieve the engineering mission.

An Example…
AMTRAK has solicited bids for the design of a high speed rail (HSR) system from New York to Boston. This is to be the first step in a massive overhaul of the entire US rail system. Specifications include:
operation at 300 km/hr in shakedown phase; upgraded to 500 km/hr when fully commissioned. Freight trains are to eventually replace all tractor-trailor vehicles on the interstate highway system. Freight charges will
fully fund all system operating expenses. Passenger trains will provide full business communication and entertainment accommodations. Passenger charges will
fully fund all system expansion.

ECE Design Problems
Circuits and SystemsProvide a mathematical simulation of the overall system dynamic performance, including starting, stopping, and emergency conditions. The mechanical performance must be integrated with the electrical performance of the drive system.
Electronics Select, specify, and/or design sensors and associated A/D converters that monitor critical system variables, including position, velocity, acceleration, 3-axis vibration, cabin temperature, drive temperature, status of safety subsystems, etc.

ECE Design Problems
ControlDesign an anti-collision system with forward looking radar, to prevent overtaking any obstructions on the RoW.
Microprocessors; ComputersDesign an on-board computer network, featuring passenger stations that can accommodate full internet access, as well as radio and TV access, plus sensor data channels.
Electromagnetic FieldsDesign two antenna systems, one providing a high fidelity communication satellite link to the internet, and a second ground-based backup system.

ECE Design Problems
CommunicationsDesign an on-board communication system to accommodate 30 digital data channels, with 16 bit resolution, and a refresh rate of 1 Hz, and two voice channels, with 8-bit resolution, and bandwidth of 3.4 kHz.
Power and EnergyDesign an electromagnetic propulsion system featuring MaGLev suspension and linear induction motors. The power source is to be on the stationary track.

Two ways to represent information
Analog Form
Digital Form

Digital is better because….
The signal processing hardware is simpler. Information can be encoded into digital form to any
desired accuracy. Digital storage media is simpler and cheaper, and can be
replicated with zero error. The recovery of digital information in the presence of
noise is simpler. Anything you can do to a number, you can do to a digital
signal. Hence there is almost no limit to what is possible in digital signal processing. Consider "Jurassic Park".

Some Basic Digital Signal Processing Concepts
All information can be represented as a number. All numbers can be represented in binary form.
Example:
"10" = 1x23 + 0x22 + 1x21 + 0x20
= (1010)2
Binary "0" and "1" can be represented by two levels of voltage in an electric circuit. Therefore "10" is:
5 V (Binary "1")
0 V (Binary "0")

"10" = 1x23 + 0x22 + 1x21 + 0x20

The Electronic Miracle
How is it possible to deal with this much detail so fast? Millions of components (the Pentium 4 computer chip has over 5 million transistors) Extremely small size (dimensions measured in microns) Extremely low component power (nanowatts) Extreme reliability. If a component is properly manufactured, installed, and operated
within its limits, there is NO known failure mechanism. Extremely small cost. Once upon a time, a single transistor might cost 50 cents.
Hence, a Pentium 4 would cost 2.5 M$. Today, a P4 costs about 0.0002 M$.

Electrical POWER Engineering is...
that part of electrical engineering which deals with the generation, transformation, transmission, and utilization of bulk electrical energy. It is characterized by high voltage, current, and power levels.

The Hydraulic-Electric Analogy...
Charge (Q, in coulomb, C) "the fluid", "electricity" , a fundamental property of the electron.
Current (I, in C/second or ampere, A)
"the flow", flow rate of charge
Voltage (V, in J/C or volt, V) "the pressure", flow rate of charge

Summary….
Electrical Engineering focuses two general areas of application: Information Processing ("Electronic") Energy Processing
Electronics has a major impact on modern society. Consider life without television, radio, computers, telephones, fax machines, etc.
Electrical power applications include lighting, heating, transportation, as well supplying the energy for electronic devices. We will consider electrical power in our next lesson.
