What a Week (24/10-28/10) :)

This week is so tough for me because I got test to sit and also presentation on the same weeks, but I managed to finish these weeks with joy. For the first class I got, test which instrument test. I need to recap back the entire instrument test that I had done last two weeks. Instrument test is not so difficult but it takes a lot to memorizing colour code. But this test is more enjoyable compared to my maths and programming test that also being held on the same weeks. My second class is about my presentation. I’m partner up with Ahmad Nur Firdaus and we are having a presentation about 3D TV. Before that, we agreed to do presentation about 3D glasses but after asking our instructor Mr. Ahmad Redzuan we are cannot convince  toourselves that we will have a successful presentation with this topic. That why, we take drastic change and change the topic to become 3D TV.

Here our article about 3D TV (click here) and our minutes meeting throughout our time to finish this presentation (click here). Our presentation going smoothly even we are passing through the time limit.  We are very sorry for that inconvenient condition. For our next presentation we will do our best and try to not get over the time given.

Dr. Kamal ask me about what is switching liquid crystal and I cannot answered it very well. It make me feel very bad especially to my partners, therefore here I will tell a little bit about switching liquid crystal. Switching liquid crystals is used to implement the parallax barrier and control the direction in which light leaves the displays and ensure that different patterns of light reach left and right eyes.

      

SECOND WEEKS OF WORKSHOP

DIODE

SECOND WEEK of workshop is fascinating when I manage to test diode, transistor and learn integrated circuit. We also are being informed by En. Ahmad Redzuan bin Mohd Hanapiah that we will be having our industrial visit in nearest time. Can’t wait for that moment to happens because it was my first time of industrial visit. Back to my instrument test, for the first class I focused on testing diode. Diode is functioning to allow currents flow in one direction while blocks currents oppose it

LED

PNP AND NPN TRANSISTOR

COMPONENT ANALYSER

I also had change to use component analyser to check for the internal value of diode. Using component analyser is much more easier compared to use multimeter BUT component analyser cannot be use to analyse bipolar capacitor because it will caused damaged to component analyser. Testing LED by physical inspection just by looking at it inner flag to determine which leg is cathode and anode. For LED to be light up it need to be connected to power source and resistor. Resistor? YES, resistor because if there is no resistor  to resist current flow LED might damaged.Component analyser again being used to test for transistor. Transistor can be differentiating into two which is PNP and NPN transistor. The last part of my test instrument is learn about intergrated circuit(IC). In single IC there may be about hundred of capacitor.

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

This week class moved to a new level which is WORKSHOP. Its being taught not by Dr. Kamal but other lecturer. He is En. Ahmad Redzuan bin Mohd Hanapiah. He will be teach us for about 7 weeks and after that others lecturer will take over. Before i enter the class. I fell very excited because this class is more towards practical and me as boys really love when it comes to practical.  

FIRST class is on  11^th October, during this class  En. Ahmad Redzuan explain to us about what are we will be doing  throughout this 7 weeks. He tells us that during his class we will be deal with electronic  apparatus such as diode, capacitor and transistor. All this electronic apparatus  will be useful when we are making our own circuit board. En. Ahmad Redzuan also stress us about the 5S while we are deal with the apparatus.

SECOND class is on  13^th October, we had our instrument test during this class. We only manage to test resistor and capacitor only due to limit of time. Resistor function is to resist current. Without resistor, voltage cannot flow and the circuit is not completed. We test resistor by observing the colour  code. besides review to colour scheme, I also  used multimeter to check the actual value of the resistor.

multimeter that i had been used to measured all the apparatus

For capacitor, we actually test three type of capacitor which are disc ceramic capacitor, mica capacitor and radial capacitor. We measures the capacitors by using colour code, multimeter and by physical inspection.

We got three method to use because we need to test differend kind of capacitors. For mica type we used colour code, for ceramic capacitor we used physical inspection by looking at their code and compared its with the table provided while for radial capacitor we used multimeter. Actually, every electronic  apparatus can be measured with the correct mutimeter. Im very enjoyed during this workshop and can’t wait for the next meeting.

I HEAR AND I FORGET,

I SEE AND I FORGET,

I DO AND I UNDERSTAND.

This is Chinese proverb that means everything that we hear and see is not perfect without we do and understand on what we hear and see. On this class, Dr.Kamal had given brief about our presentation. We need to choose one electronic devices and briefly present our devices in front of our classmate. Besides that, Dr. Kamal also teach us about semiconductor, which is the heart of electronic devices that is made up of silicon. Silicon is being choose because its availability, inexpensive, easy to control and can be manufacture at high temperature.

 

In this video, its mention about Moore 's law. What is Moore 's law? Moore 's law describing a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.This trend has continued for more than half a century and is expected to rise.

WHY GOOD CONDUCT IMPORTANT AND RELATED TO SYSTEM ELECTRONIC

Me as an engineer need to have good conduct skill because this skill is important to ensure that I doing my jobs very efficient and follows all the rule that had been stated. For system electronic, good conduct is very crucial because system electronic involves everything from the smallest thing such as microchips to biggest things like satellite . Without good conduct all this electronic devices may crash or having some damage. Me as future engineer very likely to avoid all kind of this situation to happen and that why having a good conduct is very important to an engineer. 

 

 

GOOD CONDUCT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH ME AND MY LIFE

• In my student time, good conduct should be practice everyday to make sure that I can use it very well through out my whole life. Besides, having good conduct skill can improve my communication between people and will helps me a lot during my study or presentation time.

•  For my future time, good conduct will help me to become an engineer that put priority on making a good and excellent system electronic devices for people usage. Good conduct can also increase my confident level to faced different types of people during my working time.

• Good conduct in everyday life is important to ensure that Ican  have a nice public relationship. Family, friends will feel easy to hang out with me, talk to me or even to share their problem. By having good conduct skills, I can easily faced any difficulties through out my daily life.

good conduct is very important in our lives

ALL IN ONE ( 29/9/2011)

All in one becoming my tittles post because my second class  full of new knowledge and advise from our lecturer, Dr. Kamal about the important things in becoming an engineer. Introduction to electronic system course preparing its students based on program outcome and course outcome in order to ensure that our as future engineer can be adapt to any kind of situation. I'as going-to-be engineer is being expected to;

• using Bloom's taxonomy in my studying,
• develop my generic skills ,
• build up  my self confidence and second nature,

In this class, I'm also being taught what is the differences between 'learn to serve' and 'learn to earn'. Its maybe sounds similar but the truth is there is huge differences between this two statement. Besides that, we also learn what is 5S, which is  from Japanese words which means sorting, straightening, systematic cleaning (shine), standardizing, and sustaining.

 

 Dr.Kamal also give me and my classmate lecture about the essence of belief, that consist of 5 main point which are faith, worship, monetary affairs, social conduct and good conduct. This essence of belief is important like the others that i have mention above. Thanks to Dr. Kamal who have introduce us very well about the world of engineering and this SMJE 1032 couse. =)
