I also really need help with this problem. Any help?

No, I don't know about them at all. Could you fill me in on what they are?

Hey, I'm not exactly sure if this is the right place to ask this but there's no harm in trying. I am 19 and an engineering major. I've heard people older than me talking about how they are losing their pensions/retirement and that they wished that they would have started started saving money...

Hey, In the opinions of the members of this forum, which is more beneficial in the long-run: Pursuing a masters degree (MSEE) directly after undergrad or working for a company with tuition reimbursement for about 6 months and doing it part time. I figure that the 30 credit hours needed for...

Homework Statement A crate with a mass of 120 kg glides through a space station with a speed of 2.5 m/s. An astronaut speeds it up by pushing on it from behind with a force of 250 N, continually pushing with this force through a distance of 5 m. The astronaut moves around to the front of the...

Bits in 16KB? 1KB=1024 bytes 1 byte = 8 bits 16(1024)=16384bytes 16384bytes*(8 bits / 1 byte) = 131072 bits If in that 16 KB of memory, you stored 16-bit variables, how many variables could you store? (131072 bits / 16 bits variables) = 8192 Now convert that into base-2 so the solution...

When I do that, I get 131072. However, is this in terms of words?

Wait a second...would I just multiply 1024 times 16? It's not neccesarily the math, but rather the terminology that is confusing me. 16KB = 1024bytes(16) = 16384 bytes but is that how many "16 bit words that can be stored" They're asking for the answer in terms of "words" which is really...

Yea, I remember that but I am still not sure how to find how many 16 bit words can be stored.

Homework Statement A 16 KB memory has a 16 bit wordsize. How many 16 bit words total can be stored in this memory? Homework Equations None given The Attempt at a Solution I tried many things. My answer were 2e12, 2e13, and 2e14. All of these were wrong. Please help soon (if you...

I'm in the US. Raleigh/Durham area in North Carolina. So you think there is no point going after it, or would being one of the few PE be a huge help? Are you sure about a quarter million because that sounds extremely high for an engineering salary? Also, why is the second option so much more...

Hey all, In researching my options upon exiting college (Im an EE major) I have come across the Professional Engineer certification. I have done a little research on the topic and know that I will need to take the FE exam, work for approximately 4 years (under the supervision of a PE), and...

Hey Guys, I'm a freshmen EE at NCSU (thinking about power systems as of now). Lately, I've been hearing a few people in one of my classes talking about engineering consulting and it sounded somewhat interesting. What exactly is an engineering consultant and what do they do? Also, how could...

I aiming for middle to perhaps upper level management (considering I can make it that far, of course). To me, anything past that isn't engineering at all and is strictly business (Correct me if I am wrong). Just to clarify, would someone care to elaborate on the levels of management as far...

Hey Guys. I'm a freshman EE and have been thinking about what my plan of work in terms of class schedule should be. I want to work as an engineer, but eventually would like to move up into management (not upper-level management because I still want to work be involved in projects) or a senior...
