Q. How will make sure that final outcome from you is worth, be it a project or writing anything
like it?
How do you avoid mistakes in your daily work at office ?
What will you do if you are given some tables and some data, how do you do data checking?What methodology will you use ?

What will you do if you are given some tables and some data, how do you do data checking?What methodology will you use ?
A. In any case that I use written language I always set my software to automatically use spell check. Frequently when the job or project is complete I have a coworker read my work for accuracy, grammar & spelling.
I try to avoid mistakes by reviewing my work constantly, asking others to review it and by clearly organizing my desk and plans for each day.
When checking data I calculate the results in several ways to see if I get the same results. I also may graph the data to identify any gross errors or typos.

What is it exactly that your average electrical engineer does on a daily basis at work?
Q. Does he/she sit at a computer in a cubicle all day, does he/she research a certain topic and discusses it or what? I know it's a broad field and there are many things that one does as an EE, but I just wish I knew what it is that they do EXACTLY.
A. The first thing as an EE is stop being politically correct by using he/she. Sounds like a transvestite. How about "they".
My job as an EE covers analog (low noise amplifiers, high power pulse amplifiers, system design, analog & digital layout) stuff mostly. Yes, digital layout is a analog activity due to transmission line properties. Engineering positions vary widely. For me, it entails some of the following:
Things I do at my desk:
Circuit and system design
PCB layout
Simulations, either using Spice or writing my own program
Mechanical design and drawings
Making parts lists
Making assembly drawings
Order parts
Designing test fixtures for my designs
Dealing with production issues
Dealing with support issues from our field people and customers
Read trade publications
Things I do at a bench:
Test out circuit ideas by building breadboards
Build and test first articles. These can be fun, especially
when they blow up.
Fix test equipment
Fix production booboos
Test the first production run
Build equipment to aid in the production of our products
Other misc things:
Interface with other people to test out functional interfaces of
the products (hardware & software)
Do field tests of the equipment
Customer support
Trade shows
Play janitor and do facility maintenance
Take care of networking and servers, install & manage
internet presence (web, ftp, mail servers)
Teach production personnel how to build things
Sit in meetings which can be financial, design review, blue skying,
problem solving, new product development
Walk around chatting to fellow employees. A friendly chat can
help you design things better when you get ideas & feedback from
the production folk. Learning thru social visits is very important.
Chatting with other outside technical folk to see what they are up to.
Personal networking is extremely important.
Lending a hand to some folks within my personal networking group.
Receiving help from some of the folks within my personal networking
group.

How difficult is it to study at home for a distance learning A-Level with only online support?
Q. Is it much more difficult than being in a classroom and how much computer know-how do you need? The amount of stuff you have to do online seems daunting.
A. I have done that! At first, it was a nightmare, than I loved my study. Now, when I completed my MBA, I kind of miss it. But, I know several people, who could not carry the load of the homework and dropped out. So, online education is not for everyone. Here are the certain advantages and disadvantages:
Program Advantages
1. An online MBA program is more flexible than any other because you can customize your class schedule. Online MBA programs also offer geographic flexibility, allowing students to attend class regardless of their location. Students value the convenience and freedom that online learning gave them: just in time, just enough and just for me.
2. When you study online, you not only have the convenience of self-paced courses that you can attend on own schedule, you save money in commuting, parking fees, and other customary student charges that campus students pay.
3. Quality of materials and course design: materials that are up to date, interactive, comprehensive and well designed so that they have clear navigation structures, clear directions to learners and mechanisms to enable students to judge their own progress.
4. Access to online quality resources.
5. Online assessment and feedback: valid reliable, easy to use, responsive and speedy feedback, easy to download and submit online.
6. Improvement in IT skills: the opportunity to use and extend existing IT skills. You can transfer the computer and Internet skills that youâll gain in the process of your distance learning experience to other facets of your life.
7. In average, the cost of distance learning is significantly lower than the cost of comparable degree with in-campus learning approach.
Program Disadvantages
1. One of the biggest problems is technology and access to the internet related. The technology required can be confusing and learners may have to learn a lot of computer skills in order to study online. There may be access problems to the internet (especially in regional areas) and links may fail. Access to up-to-date computer equipment, software, help and a reliable, fast and affordable internet access may also be an issue.
2. In a traditional classroom setting, a studentâs performance can be immediately assessed through questions and informal testing. With distance learning, a student has to wait for feedback until the instructor has reviewed their work and responded to it. Feedback may be slow or non-existent (which jeopardizes the quality of subsequent submitted work).
3. Students might lack adequate support when they are learning online from the professors, online library, learning resource center, student counselors, and other staff. It also includes lack of adequate help desk services. Students remark âWhen I need help I want a real person, not a computer screenâ.
4. You must be dedicated to doing the work, with no one looking over your shoulder to encourage you to study. This can confuse students who think that online programs are easier than campus-based programs, or those who need external motivation or deadlines to complete assignments. If you lack the discipline to log into your class, youâll fall behind quickly. Students typically comment: "I miss the discipline of having a class to attend and I need to be more disciplined to study online that face-to-face". The study is more time consuming and poor time management can be an issue.
