I am trying to develop a battery operated invention that will be used primarily in sub freezing conditions. From what I can tell from my research so far, a simple 9 volt NiMH or lithium will work fine under these conditions. The only problem I foresee though is that when this was eventually a...

Thanks for that. It's a really good explanation of the differences between the two degrees. I guess since the engineering technology degree is such a new concept, there will be a period of confusion and misconceptions about it until it becomes a more well known thing. Until then I hope the false...

I am graduating soon from a top university well known for its engineering program, with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Engineering Technology with an electrical concentration. When I was applying for jobs for co-op, I started out listing the name of the degree. Interviewers seemed confused...

I am trying to drive a 5V DC motor using a MCU output. The motor is run directly off the +5V line which is down-converted from 18V using a TPS5430 Step-down converter. The MCU coding is basically that when the inputs are in the correct state, the output to the FET turns on for a number of...
