    1. "We would like to know how sprites are initiated and how they develop," Victor Pasko, an electrical engineer at Penn State and author of the study published May 7 in the journal Nature Communications, said in a statement

      This is what intrigues me as a student. The fact that you can connect electrical engineering to outer space and dealing with atmospheric phenomenons.

    1. But 12 years later, a brain implant gave her the ability to move a robotic arm to pick up a bottle and drink from it, using her thoughts alone.

      This is the reason why this field is so significant in today world. Electrical engineering goes just beyond voltage and magnetic fields. It can save and change lives for the better.

    1. Another electrical engineer, Andrea Alù, of the University of Texas at Austin, is studying sound waves and has developed a one-way sound machine. "I can listen to you, but you cannot detect me back; you cannot hear my presence," Alù told LiveScience in a 2014 article.

      The electrical field is very versatile. In this case, you can connect it with science in terms of sound in this situation.

    2. the range for a senior engineer with a master's or doctorate and more than 15 years of experience is $97,434 to $138,296. Many experienced engineers with advanced degrees are promoted to management positions or start their own businesses where they can earn even more

      My plan is to establish a business or expand the one that my family has built over the years.Not only will I be handling manual labor but business will be important too. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTSOyMw56-zRLv8frY8qi87qzNcqxzs-iIlhg&usqp=CAU

    3. Manufacturing industries that employ electrical engineers include automotive, marine, railroad, aerospace, defense, consumer electronics, commercial construction, lighting, computers and components, telecommunications and traffic control.

      Electrical engineers are one of the most relied on jobs in the work force. These electrical engineers contribute to all technology. This is significant because the world is innovating everyday and we wouldn't be doing that as fast if not for these engineers.

    4. Electrical engineers are increasingly relying on computer-aided design (CAD) systems to create schematics and lay out circuits. They also use computers to simulate how electrical devices and systems will function

      In recent days, the world relies on technology a lot and its really efficient. Working with a computer is less time consuming and furthers my point on getting the job done quicker.

    5. This knowledge allows engineers to design circuits to perform specific functions and meet requirements for safety, reliability and energy efficiency, and to predict how they will behave, before a hardware design is implemented.

      Working as an apprentice, the most valuable lesson i learned is to work around things as easy and efficiently as you can. Making things cleaner and getting the job done will satisfy the customer.

    6. Critical skills needed in electrical engineering include an in-depth understanding of electrical and electronic theory, mathematics and materials

      I feel like i satisfy this requirement because i have been in the field as an apprentice. Although i may not know entirely everything but i do understand the theory.

    7. which essentially states that the voltage in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change in the magnetic field through the circuit.

      With being an apprentice in the electrical field, i learned a lot dealing with voltage, magnetic field, and circuits. This is essential knowledge one needs to know when pursuing in the electrical field.

    8. It is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology of electricity. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators.

      To me, I always found technology fascinating. How we evolved from the primitive times where it was just sticks and rocks to such advanced technology

    1. The last words of the Buddha were "Strive on with diligence." Diligence is an integral part of all Buddhist teaching, and is considered the fourth of the pāramitā

      being Buddhist and growing up learning the teaching of Buddhism, i can understand hat this saying is portraying. working with diligence leads a path to "perfection" or nirvana.
