Marters in electrical engineering for metallurgical engineers

AI Thread Summary
A metallurgy graduate currently working in the power sector is seeking advice on pursuing a master's degree in electrical engineering. Recommendations include leveraging industry experience and strong professor endorsements for admission into an M.Sc. program. It is likely that admission may be granted on a probationary basis, requiring the completion of remedial courses. The discussion emphasizes that this guidance may primarily apply to Canadian institutions. Overall, transitioning from metallurgy to electrical engineering is feasible with the right approach.

Hi,
i have a BSc. Engineering degree in metallurgy. At the moment I'm working in the power sector. So i'd like to do my masters in electrical engineering. Any idea how i can do that?

Try to gain admission into a M.Sc. program in EE on the basis of your industry experience / strong professor recommendation? If they let you in, they'd probably do so on a probationary status and make you take 'remedial' courses.

(This advice may only be applicable in Canada)
 
Thank you
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
