What does this mean in the case of a young Electrical Engineering graduate like myself. I didn't wait for a destiny helper, while in the faculty I was crystal clear about the following; ✅ No one owes me anything, this limited my level of disappointment in and out of the faculty ✅ How can I put into practice what I learned in the faculty for the benefits of the common person around me? I started doing domestic electrification and maintenance in my local community. I identified and corrected faults due to poor installations and usage of low quality materials ✅ I went further to learn and started #CCTV cameras installation in order to improve the security level of most businesses and public areas in my locality ✅ I went further to carry out PV installation inorder to help combat the constant issues of power outages which is very common in our localities. ✅ All this got me occupied and prepared me for better opportunities ahead. It also spared me from being idle, which could lead to joining bad gangs for an easier way to make money. ✅ Doing all of this, I was very conscious of my training in the faculty, striving to validate all my courses with distinction. All the fields being related, got me always to have something doing. If I'm not electrifying a home, I'm installing security cameras or I'm designing a mini solar system for a client. ✅ Finally, a big opportunity came knocking and I was prepared for it. Having the privilege to start a career in the #Transmissionlines field with a highly reputable company #LarsenandToubro In summary, be in a constant quest to solve common problems and tailor your services towards it and remain consistent. Opportunities will always come knocking. How lucky are you? feel free to share with us in the comment section #transmissionlines #LarsenandToubro #ElectricalEngineering #cctvCamerasInstallation

Today when i was involved in my daily routine activities one of our apprentice asked me about the difference between Electrical Engineer and Technician. After a thought i explained him the difference in a technical manner stating that a technician is a guy who remembers a thumb rule that at the LT(Low Tension) level of 433 volts the secondary Current of any three phase Power transformer can be derived by multiplying the factor of 1.33 to its Rating in KVA Ex: Secondary current of 2000KVA Transformer is= 1.33*2000=2660 A Where as an electrical engineer is the guy who knows why the factor of 1.33 is used to calculate the secondary current, it goes like this 1.732*V2*I2=2000 KVA I2(Secondary current)= 2000*1000 VA/1.732*V2 =2000*1000 VA/1.732*433 =1.33*2000 =1.33*(Rating in KVA of transformer) I hope he understood well not the concept but the basic difference between electrical engineer and electrical technician

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 After a lot of hard work, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve officially earned my Electrical Journeyman 1 Certificate! ⚡💡 This journey wasn’t just about gaining a license—it was about gaining perspective. I wanted to: • Understand the rules and standards that keep our electrical systems safe and efficient. • Gain a hands-on view of industry challenges from the perspective of the skilled professionals installing the parts and making it all work. • And, as a bonus, tackle some electrical projects in my own home! 🛠️ Through this process, I’ve developed an even deeper appreciation for the electrical trade. It’s a rewarding career path, and with the ongoing shortage of electricians, there’s never been a better time to explore it. Simplifying the path to becoming an electrician could open doors for so many people—and help address critical workforce needs in this essential field. To anyone considering this path: Go for it! The skills you gain are invaluable, the work is meaningful, and the opportunities are endless. Here’s to learning, growing, and being part of an industry that powers our world—literally! ⚡ #Electrician #Trades #CareerGrowth #ElectricalJourneyman #LifelongLearning

The Texas Workforce is 15.2 million strong! Despite tremendous job growth, employers in many industries still face an ongoing problem with hiring qualified workers. Due to advances in technology, employers have a great need for workers with advanced technical skills. With the good news of manufactures relocating to Texas, employers also need highly-skilled workers to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair today’s advanced automated systems. Unfortunately, the supply of such workers isn’t keeping up with demand.   What Training and Skills are needed to work in machine maintenance? Many in this Machine Maintenance field start as an apprentice to receive on-the-job training. In general, it refers to the processes required to take care of machines in the industry. The AC/DC Electrical Learning System offers industry-relevant skills including how to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot basic AC and DC electrical circuits for various applications. If you are currently employed or unemployed, please consider registering for 1 of our many Machine Maintenance courses. The AC- DC Electrical Systems is a short 3 day class scheduled for May 29th – May 31st.

A PIECE OF ADVICE TO YOUNG GRADUATE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS If you are a recent graduate electrical engineer who has applied to any Graduate Development Program (or still searching for a job) and in your course of GDP Program you don't want to be placed and work permanently in other department (Safety, Production, Quality Control, etc ..) but want to become an electrical engineer in Maintenance and Engineering Department, I suggest you work as a simple electrician first. Get a multimeter and work along with electricians. Connect and troubleshoot basic Motor Control Circuits/Control Circuits (DOL, Star-Delta, Reverse-Forward, ATS,...). There will be the fear/risk of dealing with live wires (but you chose electrical engineering at first place so no choice😊) but always be sure of what you are doing. If you are not sure, ask questions to senior electricians or google it. Asking won't hurt but doing something you are not sure will hurt. If you follow my advice, you will have hands-on field experience plus theoretical knowledge and after two or three years, you will thank me for that. #Live_wires #Electricity #Power

This piece of advice will pay off in bulk. To really understand the electrical world start from the very basic, put a side a laptop and put a pause to MATLAB and grab a screw driver, you will be three miles ahead of other engineers.
