Electrical and electronics engineering is the widest field of engineering, concerned with systems and devices that use electric power and signals. Among the most important subjects in this field are electric power and machinery, electronic circuits, control systems, computer design, superconductors, solid-state electronics, robotics, lasers, radar, consumer electronics and fibre optics.

Electrical engineering can be divided into four main branches: electric power and machinery, electronics, communications and control, and computers.

Engineers working in the field of electric power and machinery design and operate systems for generating, transmitting and distributing electric power. Several important developments appeared in this field. One of these is the ability to transmit power at extremely high voltages in both the direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) modes, reducing power losses. Another is the real-time control of power generation, transmission and distribution, using computers.

Electronic engineering deals with the research, design and application of circuits and devices used in the transmission and processing of information. The revolution in electronics is the trend towards integrating electronic devices on a single tiny chip of silicon or some other semiconductive material. Much of the research in electronics is directed towards creating even smaller chips, faster switching of components, and three-dimensional integrated circuits.

Engineers in the field of communications and control work on control systems and communication

systems that are used widely in aircraft and ships, in power transmission and distribution, in automated

manufacturing and robotics. Major developments in this field are the replacement of analogue systems with

digital systems and copper cables with fibre optics (optical fibres). Digital systems lower electrical noise. Fibre optics lowers interference, has large carrying capacity, and is extremely light and inexpensive to manufacture.

Computer engineering is now the most rapidly growing field. Computer engineers design and manufacture memory systems, central processing units and peripheral devices. Major developments in this field are microminiaturization (design of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chips) and new computer architectures. Using VLSI, engineers try to place greater numbers of circuit elements onto smaller chips. Another trend is towards increasing the speed of computer operations through the use of parallel processors and superconducting materials.

Aeronautics deals with the whole field of design, manufacture, maintenance, testing and use of aircraft for both civil and military purposes. It involves the knowledge of aerodynamics, structural design, propulsion engines, navigation, communication and other related areas.

Aerospace engineering is closely connected with aeronautics, but is concerned with the flight of vehicles in space, beyond the earth’s atmosphere, and includes the study and development of rocket engines, artificial satellites and spacecraft for the exploration of outer space.

Naval engineering. Naval architects are engineers who design and supervise construction of ships. Ships must be designed and built so that they are safe, stable, strong and fast enough to perform the type of work intended for them. A naval architect must be familiar with the variety of techniques of modern shipbuilding. Marine engineering is a specialized branch of mechanical engineering devoted to the design and operation of systems, both mechanical and electrical, needed to propel a ship. Engineers in this field develop diesel engines and steam turbines that provide enough power to move the ship at the required speed.

Chemical engineering is concerned with the design, construction and management of factories in which the essential processes consist of chemical reactions. The task of the chemical engineer is to select and specify the design that will best meet the particular requirements of production and the most appropriate equipment for the new applications.

Nuclear engineering is concerned with the design and construction of nuclear reactors. In addition to designing nuclear reactors that yield specified amounts of power, nuclear engineers develop the special materials necessary to withstand the high temperatures and radioactivity. Nuclear engineers also develop methods to shield people from the harmful radiation produced by nuclear reactors.

Safety engineering has as its object the prevention of accidents. Safety engineers develop methods and procedures to safeguard workers of hazardous occupations. They also assist in designing machinery, factories, ships and roads, suggesting alterations and improvements to reduce accidents.

Modern Engineering Trends
Text

Among various recent trends in the engineering profession computerization is the most widespread. Computers are widely used for solving complex problems as well as for handling, storing and generating the enormous volume of data modern engineers must work with.

Engineers in industry work not only with machines but also with people, to determine, for example, how machines can be operated most efficiently by workers. This is called ergonomics. The aim of ergonomics is to make the working place more comfortable and the work itself easier. A small change in the location of the controls of a machine or of its position with relation to other machines or equipment, or a change in the muscular movements of the operator, often results in greatly increased production. Ergonomics looks for criteria for the efficient design of large, complicated control panels that monitor nuclear reactor operation.

Topic 9
Communication
Text
Communication is the process of exchanging information. People exchange information using communication means. Communication has always some purpose. Mass communication, for example, sends messages for masses of people.

The history of communication means is a long and interesting one.

Communication through electric media. At the beginning of the19th century the electric revolution made great progress. By 1832 the telegraph had been invented. Wires crossed the continents and cables were put under the Atlantic Ocean. Some 40 years later (in 1876) the telephone was patented. Messages began to be transmitted over electrical currents carried by wires.

Early radio”. At the beginning of the 20th century it became possible to transmit messages without wires. Messages were sent by wireless telegraph that is now called “early radio”. But modern radio became possible only when a vacuum tube had been invented (1906). Soon after the invention of tubes, radio receivers began to be widely used in the world.

Television. Television was used experimentally as far as 1930. But its popular use began only some ten years later. And in about twenty years colour television became dominant over black-and-white.

Audio and video recordings are most popular means of communication today. Also popular are filming and photography.

High-technology revolution in electronics influenced the sphere of communication and greatly changed it. The new technology used for space exploration influenced modern communication both in offices and home. It became possible for business people to communicate with their colleagues in faraway places.

Computers and word processors serve this purpose and are being widely used in many offices all over the world.

The new technology has also influenced communication in everyday life. For example, it became possible for people to receive television programs through cables. Modern cable is a complex wire system that makes it possible to transmit a number of television signals at the same time.

People today also widely use videotape recorders to record television programs. One of the most interesting inventions of today is also the usage of satellites for video and audio communication. People can receive programs through using satellites.

Internet is the linking of tens of thousands of educational institutions, businesses and public organizations with millions of individual users. That is why the Internet is referred to as the information superhighway.

What is now known that the Internet was originally formed in 1970 as a military network. A few years later the Internet opened to nonmilitary users. But most popular it became some ten years later when many educational institutions and a lot of businesses around the world came on-line.

When in 1993 Internet connections were first made available to individuals, usage of the network greatly increased. Many millions of new users came on-line within a short period. A new era of computer communication was announced to begin. Most networks on the Internet make certain files available to other networks. These common files can be databases, programs, or electronic mail from the individuals on the network. Each of hundreds of thousands of international sites provide thousands of portions of data available to users.

It should be noted that the Internet is not the only way for computer users to communicate with each other. A number of commercial on-line services also provide connections to those who pay for it. These services provide a great range of information including on-line conferencing, electronic mail transfer, program loading, travel and entertainment information, access to encyclopedias, and other educational means and reference works, electronic forums for specific users’ groups, sports fans and so on.

Topic 12
Incandescent Lamp
Text
The first incandescent lamp for practical use was produced in Russia in 1873 by the great Russian scientist Alexander Lodygin. In his lamp he fixed a small carbon rod of about 2 mm in diameter between two copper conductors. In order to protect the lamp from burning through, the lamp’s air had been

evacuated. Vacuum at the time being far from perfect, this first lamp was short-lived. Its life was measured in hours.

In 1890 Lodygin made his first lamps with a metal filament using metals with high melting points, such as tungsten, molybdenum and osmium.

A few years later Thomas Edison, an American inventor, improved lamps with a metal filament. He used the lamp holder, the switch and some other elements of the lighting network.

Today the filament of the incandescent lamp is twisted into a spiral. The melting point of tungsten being 3,300˚ , it can be heated to 3,000˚ . At this temperature, however, tungsten begins to evaporate. In order to avoid evaporation of tungsten, today lamps are filled with chemically inert gas, i.e. argon or cripton.

In a gas-filled incandescent lamp the ends of a filament are connected to the two wires passing through the bulb and attached to the metal base. One of the wires is attached to the base and the other – to the base contact insulated from the base.

Industry manufactures incandescent lamps for 220 and 127 V (for lighting networks), 50 V (for railway wagons), 12 and 6 V (for motor cars), 3.5 and 2.5 V (for pocket torches) and so on.

William Henry Gates
Text
William Henry Gates, byname Bill Gates, was born in 1955 in Seattle, Washington.

Bill Gates is an American computer programmer and chief executive officer of the Microsoft Corporation.

Gates grew interested in computers at the age of 12 and was involved with various programming projects throughout high school. While attending Harvard in 1975, Gates teamed with Paul Allen to develop

a version of the BASIC computer-programming language for the Altair, the first personal computer. As a result of this work on BASIC, Gates decided to drop out of Harvard in 1977 to work at Microsoft full-time. His idea was “a computer on every desk and in every home”.

In the early 1980’s Gates led Microsoft’s evolution from a developer of programming languages to a software company producing operating systems and applications software as well as programming tools. This transition began in 1981 with Microsoft’s introduction of MS-DOS, the operating system for International Business Machines Corporation’s new Personal Computer (IBM PC).

Gates also made Microsoft introduce application software, such as Microsoft Word word-processing software for the IBM PC. This and his other activities created strong position for Microsoft in applications for the graphical used interface.

Much of Gates’s success is founded on his ability to change technical visions into market strategy, and to use creativity mixed with technical developments.

Gates has accumulated great wealth from his holdings of Microsoft stock and is known for his personal and corporate contributions to charity and educational organizations. Gates continues to be personally involved in product development at Microsoft. His willingness to back new technologies such as Microsoft Windows, Windows NT, and workgroup applications has kept Microsoft at the vanguard of computer hardware and software evolution.

The English Tenses in the Active Voice
The Indefinite Tenses
Неопределённые времена употребляются для выражения действия, которое происходит в настоящем, прошлом или будущем времени, но не указывает на его характер, продолжительность, завершённость или предшествование иному действию или определённому моменту в прошлом или будущем. Глаголы в неопределённом времени могут переводиться на русский язык глаголами совершенного и несовершенного вида.
The Present Indefinite Tense
Настоящее неопределённое время употребляется для обозначения действия, относящегося к настоящему времени в широком смысле слова. Эта форма обозначает действия, относящиеся и к моменту речи, и к настоящему периоду, происходящие как бы вне времени. Она не указывает ни на длительность, ни на завершённость, ни на предшествование действия.

Present Indefinite (Simple) часто употребляется с наречиями, выражающими частотность: usually обычно, always всегда, often часто, seldom редко, sometimes иногда, generally как правило, every day (morning, evening, week, month, year) каждый день (утро, вечер, неделю, месяц, год).

Например: I always getupearly. – Я всегда встаю рано.

We often go to the library. – Мы часто ходим в библиотеку.

Sometimes he reads newspapers. – Иногда он читает газеты.

Present Indefinite (Simple) употребляется в утвердительной, вопросительной и отрицательной формах.

1. Утвердительная форма глагола в настоящем неопределённом времени во всех лицах единственного и множественного числа, кроме третьего лица единственного числа, совпадает с инфинитивом (неопределённой формой глагола) без частицы to:

I work. – Я работаю.

We work. – Мы работаем.

You work. – Вы работаете. (Ты работаешь.)

They work. – Они работают.

В третьем лице единственного числа (местоимения he, she, it или заменяющие их существительные) к инфинитиву (без частицы to) прибавляется окончание s или es:

He works. – Он работает.

She works. – Она работает.

Большинство глаголов в третьем лице единственного числа имеют окончание s. Окончание es употребляется в следующих случаях:

а) если основа глагола заканчивается на s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -tch, -x:

The Past Indefinite Tense
Прошедшее неопределённое время употребляется для описания действий, происходивших в прошлом, как завершившихся, так и не завершившихся в прошлом, но не связанных с настоящим. Данное время используется также для описания ряда последовательных действий в прошлом и для описания обычных, повторяющихся действий в прошлом.

Past Indefinite (Simple) может характеризоваться обстоятельством времени: yesterday вчера, last week (month, year) на прошлой неделе (в прошлом месяце, году), a month (week, year) ago месяц (неделю, год) назад, in 1995 в 1995 году и др. Например:

We went to the college yesterday. – Мы вчера ходили в колледж.

She graduated from the University last year. – Она закончила университет в прошлом году.

They wrote a letter 2 days ago. – Они написали письмо 2 дня назад.

Past Indefinite (Simple) употребляется в утвердительной, вопросительной и отрицательной формах.

1. Утвердительная форма в прошедшем неопределённом времени образуется по-разному у правильных и неправильных глаголов. У правильных глаголов к инфинитиву без частицы to добавляется окончание ed. Past Indefinite неправильных глаголов даётся в таблице и образуется в большинстве случаев чередованием гласных и согласных звуков корня, иногда совпадает с формой инфинитива без частицы to. Например:

I worked in the garden yesterday. – Вчера я работал в саду.

You answered my question. – Вы ответили на мой вопрос.

He brought her flowers. – Он принёс её цветы.

She put books into the bag. – Она положила книги в сумку.

Глаголы в Past Indefinite не изменяются по лицам и числам, они имеют одинаковую форму во всех лицах единственного и множественного числа.
2. Вопросительная форма правильных и неправильных глаголов образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола did и инфинитива основного глагола без частицы to. Вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим, после подлежащего следует начальная форма смыслового глагола без частицы и без окончания. Например:

Did your father work at this factory? - Твой отец работал на этой фабрике?

Did you go to the theater yesterday? – Вы ходили вчера в театр?

3. Отрицательная форма образуется из вспомогательного глагола did, отрицательной частицы not и инфинитива основного глагола без частицы to. В разговорной речи вместо did not обычно употребляется сокращённая форма didnt. В данном случае имеет место прямой порядок слов, т.е. на первое место ставится подлежащее, затем вспомогательный глагол с частицей not, далее идёт основной глагол в начальной форме без частицы to. Например:

They did not (didn’t) answer my questions. – Они не ответили на мои вопросы.

We did not (didn’t) go to the cinema yesterday. – Мы не ходили вчера в кино.

He did not (didn’t) do his homework. – Он не сделал домашнее задание.

The Future Indefinite Tense
Будущее неопределённое время употребляется для выражения однократного или повторяющегося обычного действия или ряда последовательных действий в будущем.

На Future Indefinite (Simple) в предложении могут указывать обстоятельства времени: tomorrow завтра, next week на следующей неделе, next year в будущем году, in a week через неделю, in a few days через несколько дней, one of these days на днях и т.д. Например:

One of these days we shall go to the country. – На днях мы поедем за город.

They will graduate from the college next year. – Они закончат колледж в следующем году.

I shall take the examination in English tomorrow. – Завтра я буду сдавать экзамен по

английскому языку.

Future Indefinite (Simple) употребляется в утвердительной, вопросительной и отрицательной формах.

1. Утвердительная форма в будущем неопределённом времени образуется при помощи вспомогательных глаголов shall или will и инфинитива основного глагола без частицы to. Вспомогательный глагол shall употребляется в первом лице единственного и множественного числа (т.е. с местоимениями I, we), а глагол will – во втором и третьем лице. Например:

I shall work. – Я буду работать.

We shall study English. – Мы будем изучать английский язык.

He will read this book. – Он будет читать эту книгу.

They will go to the University. – Они пойдут в университет.

Примечание. Иногда вспомогательный глагол will употребляется для образования Future Indefinite во всех лицах. Особенно часто это случается в американском варианте английского языка (а также в Шотландии и Ирландии), а в последнее время он всё чаще встречается и в британском варианте.

В разговорной речи вместо shall и will обычно употребляется сокращённая форма ll (апостроф + ll), которая на письме присоединяется к подлежащему, выраженному местоимением:

Ill tell it to you after dinner. – Я расскажу вам об этом после обеда.

He’ll be back in an hour. – Он вернётся через час.
2. В вопросительной форме меняются местами подлежащее и вспомогательный глагол, т.е. на первое место в предложении ставится вспомогательный глагол shall/will, за ним следует подлежащее, на третьем месте оказывается основной (смысловой) глагол в начальной форме (без частицы и без окончания) и далее идут все остальные второстепенные части предложения:

Will you go to the library tomorrow? – Вы пойдёте завтра в библиотеку?

Shall we return here? – Мы вернёмся сюда?

Will she write a letter? – Она будет писать письмо?
3. Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи вспомогательных глаголов shall или will, отрицательной частицы not и инфинитива основного глагола без частицы to. В предложении порядок слов будет следующим: сначала ставится подлежащее, затем – вспомогательный глагол с частицей not, далее идёт инфинитив смыслового глагола без to, после него следуют все остальные вспомогательные части предложения. В разговорной речи вместо shall not и will not преимущественно употребляются сокращённые формы shant и wont. Например:

We shall not (shan’t) go to the theater. – Мы не пойдём в театр.

She will not (wont) help you. – Она не будет вам помогать.

They will not (won’t) discuss this problem. – Они не будут обсуждать эту проблему.
