Succeeding in your engineering career is a combination of various factors, one of the most important being professional development. Still, many engineers participate in continuing education classes and similar programs just to meet their state's licence renewal requirement. Even though there's nothing wrong with that, you're more likely to benefit more if you use PDH (Professional Development Hour) courses as a tool for updating your knowledge and skills.
Thankfully, you're not just limited to in-person PDH courses. With online classes becoming more popular, you may be wondering whether it's a good idea to invest in one of these. Well, the answer's Yes, and here's why:
1. Enjoy Great Flexibility
The flexibility that online PDH courses offer is arguably the most notable reason for the ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are gonna have a look at Datatype Conversions in C#. We have discussed C# Data Types in our 3rd tutorial and today we will discuss How to convert one datatype into another.
If you are working on some complex project, then you have to convert one form of data into another i.e. let's say you are getting bill value from barcode reader, this value must be a string and if you want to apply any arithmetic operation on it then you need to convert that string into integer or float. So, let's get started with Datatype Conversions in C#:
Datatype Conversions in C#
If you are working on some data driven application, then there's always a need to convert one form of data into another an ...
Hi Guys! Hope you all are doing great! We always feel happy when you come back again and again for useful information so you can excel and grow in your relevant field. Today, I am going to unlock the details on the Introduction to 2n2219. It is an NPN (negative-positive-negative) bipolar junction transistor (BJT) which is specially designed for a small signal general purpose and switching applications. It contains P doped semiconductor that lies between the two layers of N doped material.
You can also check an Introduction to 2n2905 which is a complementary PNP transistor of this NPN transistor.
I'll try to cover every aspect related to this transistor so you don't need to go anywhere and you find all information in one place. Let's dive in and ...
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to start a new tutorial series on Printed Circuit Boards, abbreviated as PCB. It's going to be a quite lengthy series so I have divided it into multiple chapters. We will start from the basics and will gradually move towards complex concepts. In this series, we will cover everything related to PCB i.e. PCB Types, materials used in PCB designing, online software and tools to design PCB layouts, online PCB Fabrication Houses to manufacture PCB etc. So, stay tuned to this series, if you want to be a PCB expert.
As today's our first chapter in this series, so we will discuss the basics of PCB i.e.
What is PCB? History of PCB? How its evolved from simple boards to
complex de ...
Rental property management is a potentially lucrative strategy – one that can supply you with a steady stream of passive income and, if you do things right, set you up for long-term accumulation of wealth.
But at the same time, the day-to-day process of managing properties can be a headache. You’ll be responsible for overseeing the property, responding to maintenance requests, collecting rent, and dealing with problematic tenants.
Is it worth designing an automation system to handle some of these tasks on your behalf? How much value do you stand to gain?
Why Automation Is So Valuable
Let's start by talking about some of the reasons why automation is so valuable.
Time savings:
Many property owners choose to hire a property manager
to take ca ...
Greetings! This is the complete project of our Raspberry Pi 4 tutorials. In our previous tutorial, we learned to set up our raspberry pi as a virtual private network server. In this tutorial, we will design a smart attendance system using an RFID card reader, which we will use to sign in students in attendance in a class.
First, we will design a database for our website, then we will design the RFID circuit for scanning the student cards and displaying present students on the webpage, and finally, we will design the website that we will use to display the attendees of a class.
Components
RFID card kit
Breadboard
Jumper wires
Raspberry pi 4
I2C LCD screen
Design a database in MySQL server
Additionally, the Database server offers a DBMS ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are well and doing great in your lives. In today's tutorial, I am going to share the Introduction to Inverters. An inverter converts DC voltage or current to AC voltage or current. You can also say that it transfers or converts power from a DC source to an AC load. The aim of this circuit is to supply AC power similar to the one that we receive at homes.
Firstly, I am going to share some basic information related to inverters. In the second section, I will give you the basic configuration or parts of it and in the last section, I will tell you the types and applications. Let's now get started with the Introduction to Inverters:
Introduction to Inverters
An inverter is connected to a DC source and it converts it in ...
Virtual training platforms play a significant role in professional development, onboarding, and education across all types of organizations. These solutions are designed to facilitate live instruction, interactive sessions, group activities, and self-paced learning in remote settings. Several platforms offer specialized features for managing participants, tracking engagement, and supporting various instructional methods. Differences in integration options, accessibility, scalability, and engagement tools can influence how each platform is used within a training program. Webex Training Center represents one approach to online learning, while other platforms offer alternative workflows and features tailored to diverse training needs.

Security systems are widely suggested for homes as well as other locations. Everybody wants to take necessary steps to prevent infiltration at home, thus this security is necessary. Intruders nowadays may take advantage of almost any illegal activity and wreak havoc on a property's security. The security of one's home is a critical concern that everyone faces in the current day.
While there are certain devices on the market that may considerably help protect your house, some of them are excessively costly and need constant maintenance. Many devices regarding smart home security systems are available in the market but these are not user friendly according to the budget, the device we designed provides the user with a better interface with the help ...
Software products have been evolving rapidly for the past few decades. From single-functionality dedicated software to complex features that encompass a multitude of functionalities, the growth of software applications has been anything but typical. Customer expectations keep on rising as they get used to the product, and the companies keep upgrading their software to meet them. One of the most widely used methodologies in software engineering is the agile model. While following this model, companies are expected to upgrade their products under several iterations with a faster release cycle. To achieve this goal, companies not only rely on faster development processes but also on modern testing mechanisms. Faster release cannot be achieved at the cost of quality. Software testing has been ...
