April Recap!

Hello Again!

We have come to the end of April and from this month I will try to give you a recap of what we saw in the current month and a sneak peak of what’s coming in the month ahead. In this case it will be easy for you to browse through the blog and pick only the right articles you need :) and filter out the rest!

We would like to provide you guys some insights on whats going outside and some handy tools which could help you. Hence your feedback is certainly appreciated. You can email us or just comment on the blog about the things you would like to see on it and anything specific you would appreciate. And even those things that are boring! We will try our best to keep the variety and answer to all of you that communicated with us. ...and its free! :)

You all can get in touch with me on bits2world@gmail.com.

So, in the month of April we focused on variety of areas:

1. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure: We looked at how electric vehicles are going to become important in future. We glanced over the basic architecture of an electric powertrain and its components (link) and then looked at the functions of the most critical component a.k.a the battery management system (link). For you guys, it will be definitely beneficial to be aware of the latest developments in this domain as this will be an important area in future where companies will be moving. 
2. We looked at some random stuff on electronics and how various courses from EE can help in various fields in electronics. Mandar also gave a general advice on how you should consciously build your profile in electronics and what are the good-to-have tools with you (link). We also linked you to a tool which could come handy in circuit simulations for all you EE guys out there (link). 
3. Service Learning Model (link) was something different and peculiar in the sense that interested students can take up engineering projects for community welfare. This happens in US and a profile in such things could be a gateway to a research lab.. who knows! :)

Lot of stuff. So what’s coming next! Let’s have a sneak peek into the month of May.

I plan to continue giving you inputs on various components of electric vehicle. We will look at the motor, the inverter and its controls. We may also look at modeling such components using industry standard tools and techniques.

Neeraj will try to give you a few more inputs on the Service Learning Model and may be a few project ideas that you can carry out.

We may introduce you guys to management! :) I know.. half of you don’t give a crap about engineering, but have tremendous ability to manage and schedule projects and events..to make the engineers work!..haa!. Let’s have some inputs on that side too from some managers working in the industry.

Looking forward to hear from you!
