Engineers vs. Scientists• Scientists

• Engineers

- Scientists attempt to understand how the natural world functions.

- Engineers solve problems.

- Result of their work is expansion of knowledge.

- Result of their work is design drawings or documents.

- Final product is often publication of a research paper.

- Final product is the development and production (or improvement) of a product or process.

- Scientists do not have customers to satisfy.

- Engineers do have customers to satisfy.

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)

Definition of Engineering Design Engineering design is the process of devising a system,

component, or process to meet desired needs.

It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the engineering sciences and mathematics are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective.

Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing, evaluation, and documentation.

What makes good engineer? A good engineer delivers what was expected. A better engineer do more - faster, better, more thorough, more robust, better documented.

- must be flexible and have the ability to think independently. - Being a good communicator is of utmost importance as an engineer, as this is the

key to effective management and leadership as well as team working and problem solving.

- Other traits of good engineers, are their open mindedness, dedication to the job and general engineering knowledge.

Somebody who is good at understanding complex systems, who enjoys communicating with other people, ( good team player) who follows schedule, who documents his/her work, who is talented and creative, well organized, a hard worker, who “can be bothered”, who never stops learning, who has a vision for the future and commitment to work towards it.

성공하는 사람의 7 가지 습관

성공적 엔지니어의 조건 I. 성공적 엔지니어란 무엇인가 1. 자기 업무를 즐기는 엔지니어 2. 돈을 많이 버는 엔지니어 3. 갈데 걱정이 없는 엔지니어 4. 그 엔지니어가 없으면 기업이 쓰러지는 중추적 엔지니어

II. 성공적 엔지니어가 갖추어야 할 3 대 조건 1. 능력 - 결국 엔지니어가 기대야 할 것은 자신의 능력이다 .

의사소통능력 , 창의력 , 기획추진력 , 협동심 , 기본지식 리더십 , 학습능력 , 체력 2. 경력 - 같은 능력을 가진 엔지니어라면 경력으로 평가 받는다 . 개발성공경력 , 시장성공경력 3. 인맥 - 인맥을 잘 닦아둔 엔지니어가 우위를 가지게 된다 나를 이끌어 줄 상급 인맥 나를 도와주는 동급 인맥 나를 자극 , 또는 추종하는 하급 인맥

성공하라 !

행복하라 !

Design Laboratories How to prepare Design Lab (pre-report,

proposal)

- Design circuits and interconnections,

- Equipments setting,

- Make design goal clear. Understand What to do.

(V, A, , range, Time/Div, Volts/Div, freq. step…..)

- Determine measurement steps,

- Determine what to be recorded,(in what accuracy?, 11.24859 V?)- Prepare tables to be filled.

Think, meditate, contemplate, devise ….

Collect, integrate, analyze, apply, create information!

- Do simulation, get expected values, draw graphs,if possible,

“Without concrete plan, No fruitful, efficient experiment.”“ You can see as much as you know

andYou are inspired, as much as you see.”

Undergraduate Laboratories

How to proceed experiments

- Allot roles.- Arrange equipment and cables neatly based on

pre-reports.

- Discuss to determine the best experiment procedure based on pre-reports.

“Brain should be faster than hands.” = Think twice, before the adjustments

are made.

- Record data each time you get, do not wait until the end of experiment.

- Compare data with expected values based on pre-reports, each time you get.

- Record a detailed list of equipments, circuits, and interconnections in labnote*.

- DO NOT proceed if the deviation > 5%. Solve the problem, then go on.

- Calculate if necessary, do not wait until the end of experiment.

- Check the condition of equipment at the end of experiment.- Everything should be in its place back for next experiment.

The Laboratory Notebooks

- Day by day HISTORY of engineering works. Ex) High Tc superconductor

- Being used extensively in industry and research.

“Labnote can be a lot of money in the future.”

- Being required in employment (USA).

- Should be entered in sufficient detail to be used for final report.

- To serve as legal documents in PATENT application.

- Should be entered in sufficient detail to duplicate experiment later or by others.

- To establish the habit of bookkeeping.

- Record data each time you get, do not wait until the end of experiment.- Errors are permissible as long as corrected NEATLY.- Draw a single line diagonally, and write “incorrect” or “wrong” on

the error.- DO NOT try to obliterate information by erasing or scribbling over it.- Labnote that contains carbon copy is strongly recommended.

- Should be made neatly in ink. Pencil is not permitted.

The Laboratory Notebooks (continued)

- The goal and brief description of the experiment.- A detailed list of equipments such as type, manufacturer and model number.

- Title and date

Entries

- Description of experiment steps.

- A short summary of experiment.

- Circuits, and interconnections between circuit and equipment.

- Difficulties that were encountered.

- Data (listed in tables, if possible)

The REPORT (paper format, based on IEEE Spectrum)

- Clarity, accuracy, completeness and neatness are important.“DO NOT expect the reader to be a mind

reader.”

- To give information to someone else (higher-level manager or colleagues).

“Engineering works has never finished

- Should clearly Indicate the subject of the paper as briefly as possible.

Title

until documentation is finished”

- Should be chosen with considerable care since readers select the paper by title.

Authors, partner, affiliation, team name or number, date

Ex) 실험 3 REPORT, Inverting Amplifier (NO good!) Ex) Design of Inverting Amplifier using Op Amps. (better)

- The method by which the problem will be attacked.

Introduction- To orient reader with respect to the

problem.

- (The organization of the material in the report (paper).)

work.

The REPORT (continued)

- Theory, experimental procedure.

Body and results

- Containing the primary message of the report (paper).

- An explanations on the experimental methods used.

- DO NOT expect the reader to be a mind reader.

- Try to indicate clearly the line of thought be followed.- Frequent guideposts are essential.

- Try to communicate efficiently, and effectively.- DO NOT expect the reader to interpret your results.

- All appropriate circuit diagrams.- Data, tables, graphs*, sample calculations.- Discussions on deviations from the expected

theoretical results.

Entries

* Graphs should have numbers, unit, axis name, legends ….

The REPORT (continued)

- The mentioned person would help you with pleasure any time when you ask.

Conclusions

- Brief interpretation of the actual experimental results, no introduction.- What is shown by this work and its significance.
