Project Management & Leadership Skills

Project Management & Leadership Skills

A project can be defined as a large or important item of work, involving considerable expense, personnel, and equipment. It is typically a one-time endeavor, with a specific result or end-state envisioned. Examples of projects in the engineering and construction fields could include the upgrade of a building’s heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system, the design and construction of a new building, relocation of a manufacturing plant, or a comprehensive energy audit.
A project is distinguished from ongoing business activities by several characteristics: Uniqueness. A project is typically a specific mission (design and build a new building or plant, upgrade a computer installation) as contrasted with ongoing business functions such as accounting, human resources, purchasing or manufacturing which are performed on a day-in, day-out basis, ideally with increasing productivity. Duration. A project tends to be of finite duration with a defined start date and a planned completion date. Day-to-day business functions such as human resources, information technology support, accounting, word processing are typically in place before a project starts and will continue after the project is concluded.
People. People assigned to a project may come from any part of an organization or from outside the organization, and depending on the scope and budget of the project, may include engineering, construction, financial, scheduling, cost estimating and other professionals who can make the project a success. When the project is completed, these professionals will likely move on to other projects or back into line functions within the organization.

Electrical Power Systems Technology

Electrical Power Systems Technology

Electrical Power Systems Technology (Third Edition) provides a broad
overview of the production, distribution, control, conversion, and measurement
of electrical power. The presentation method used in this book will allow the reader to develop an understanding of electrical power systems. The units of the book are organized in a systematic manner, beginning with electrical power production methods. The fundamentals of each major unit of the book are discussed at the beginning of the unit. These fundamentals provide a framework for the information that follows in each unit. The last unit has been expanded to include control devices. This book deals with many important aspects of electrical power, not just with one or two areas. In this way, it will give the reader a better understanding of the total electrical power system—from the production of electricity to its conversion to other forms of energy. Each unit deals with a specific system, such as production, distribution, control, conversion, or measurement. Each system is broken down into subsystems. The subsystems are then explored in greater detail in the chapters that make up each unit.

Electric Motors & Drives

Electric Motors & Drives

Like its predecessors, the third edition of this book is intended primarily
for non-specialist users and students of electric motors and drives.
My original aim was to bridge the gap between specialist textbooks
(which are pitched at a level too academic for the average user) and
the more prosaic ‘handbooks’, which are full of useful detail but provide
little opportunity for the development of any real insight or understanding.
The fact that the second edition was reprinted ten times indicated
that there had indeed been a gap in the market, and that a third edition
would be worthwhile. It was also gratifying to learn that although the
original book was not intended as yet another undergraduate textbook,
teachers and students had welcomed the book as a gentle introduction to
the subject.

Aeronautical Radio Communication Systems and Networks [Free E-Books Download]

Aeronautical Radio Communication Systems and Networks

Typically, there are over twenty radio systems on board the average commercial jet aircraft dealing with communication, navigation and surveillance functions. Very high frequency (VHF) air-to-ground communication is usually the main method of  information and control exchange between pilot and air traffic control. Satellite and high frequency radio links are used to complement this system for long range or oceanic information exchanges. Other communications systems are required between the airline operation centre and the pilot and sometimes between the passengers and the ground.

A comprehensive guide to current systems, networks and topologies, this book covers application requirements for communication and related radio-navigation and surveillance functions in aeronautical systems. There is also an insight into future possibilities as technologies progress and airspace operation and control scenarios change.

Ideal for civil aviation authorities, airspace management providers and regulatory organizations, Aeronautical Radio Communication Systems and Networks will also appeal to aircraft and radio equipment manufacturers and university students studying aeronautical or electronic engineering.

Key features:

• Provides a broad and concise look at the various communications systems on board a typical aircraft from a theoretical, system level and practical standpoint with worked examples and case studies throughout.
• Considers all types of aircraft from light aircraft to large commercial jets and specialised supersonic aircraft.
• Looks at existing airport radio communication infrastructure and proposals for new very high bandwidth radio applications within the airport environment.
• Provides a complete list of formulae for engineering design analysis and quick checks on system performance or interference analysis.

Broadband power line communication system [Free E_Books]

Broadband power line communication system


This book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of BPLC technology. Advances in BPLC, which is essentially a blend of classical transmission line (TL) theory and communication and networking theories, have made it possible for broadband services to be used to link urban and rural areas efficiently and economically using a readily available and largely distributed power line infrastructure, for multi-service data transmission, high-speed internet access, and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), etc.

Written for both university students in Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications Engineering (senior undergraduate as well as graduate) and industry engineers and specialists involved with planning, design, and improvement of BPLC systems, the book includes chapters on the fundamental aspects of the well-known TL theory, and communication and networking theories as background for the other chapters. The topics covered also include classification of BPLC systems, models for analyses based on TL theory, estimation of channel capacity and performance and finally application of modulation, coding and media access control techniques for boosting the performance of BPLC systems.

The Computer Engineering Handbook [Free E_Books]

The Computer Engineering Handbook

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0849308852 | ISBN-13: 978-0849308857 | Publication Date: December 26, 2001 | Edition: 1

There is arguably no field in greater need of a comprehensive handbook than computer engineering. The unparalleled rate of technological advancement, the explosion of computer applications, and the now-in-progress migration to a wireless world have made it difficult for engineers to keep up with all the developments in specialties outside their own. References published only a few years ago are now sorely out of date.
The Computer Engineering Handbook changes all of that. Under the leadership of Vojin Oklobdzija and a stellar editorial board, some of the industry's foremost experts have joined forces to create what promises to be the definitive resource for computer design and engineering. Instead of focusing on basic, introductory material, it forms a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the field's most recent achievements, outstanding issues, and future directions.
The world of computer engineering is vast and evolving so rapidly that what is cutting-edge today may be obsolete in a few months. While exploring the new developments, trends, and future directions of the field, The Computer Engineering Handbook captures what is fundamental and of lasting value.

It is written in a down-to-earth style and explains jargon, technical terms and schematics as they arise. The author builds a genuine understanding of the fundamentals and shows how they can be applied to a range of engineering problems.

This third edition includes more real-world examples and a glossary of formulae. It contains new coverage of:

• Microcontrollers
• FPGAs
• Classes of components
• Memory (RAM, ROM, etc.)
