While the accreditation and certification of those in the engineering field varies by country, the widely accepted notion is that those who have graduated from accredited programs in the electronics or <b>electrical engineering</b> can legally practice engineering in any of the signatory countries. This list includes, but is not limited to, Australia, Ireland, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. However, there is an industry-accepted procedure by which an engineer can progress from graduate to the top of their field –Electrical and Electronics: Professional Engineering (PE), the top <b><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/">electronics certification</a></b>. The following article will detail each of those steps.<br />
<br />
<b>ABET – Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology</b><br />
<br />
The first stage in the process of gaining an electronic certification is to graduate from an ABET accredited university or institute. ABET, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, accredits appropriate institutes in disciplines such as engineering, computing, and applies science at various academic levels. With this accreditation graduates can begin their four-step journey towards their desired electronics certification. The criteria of the ABET is largely focused on what students typically learn and experience throughout both their studies and careers.<br />
<br />
The ABET board generally accredits programs as opposed to institutions. It adds value to the program while proving that a university course has met the standards and requirements of the industry. Graduates enter the workplace with the knowledge that they have achieved industry-leading education. ABED accreditation is seen by employers the world over as the best stamp of approval for young engineers. The policy and practice for accreditation is strict, as the vision of ABET is to assure the quality of the program, while stimulating innovation in the sciences: applied science, engineering, technology, and computing.<br />
<br />
<b>FE – Fundamentals of Engineering</b><br />
<br />
Next, recent graduates hoping to receive an electronic certification should pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. The exam itself is conducted by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (<a href="http://ncees.org/">NCEES</a>). The engineering practice is licensed like other professions as states must protect the public from unethical or unsafe individual who purport to practice engineering. It is encouraged, therefore, that every individual studying engineering at an accredited institution work towards professional licensure.<br />
<br />
Many universities and colleges nationwide offer review courses in order to help students prepare for the exam. Participating universities also encourage students to sit in on the exam during their final semester; the pass rate is typically in the region of 85%, while those who take the exam at a later date only pass at a rate of 45%.<br />
<br />
Given its reputation as one of the most difficult exams globally, a general guideline is given to students and practicing engineers who hope to achieve this award in electrical engineering. First and foremost, students should select classes and electives while at the university which support the content of the FE exam. Then, they should sit in on a trial examination which is administered by either the PPI or NCEES. Finally, they should acquire the Fundamentals of Engineering Supplied-Reference Handbook and study the material made available by the NCEES.<br />
<br />
Engineers who have been practicing for a number of years should, as a starting point, take a review course offered by an accredited institution. Such courses offer particularly in-depth preparation for the FE exam. At that point they can follow the steps provided to the students: acquire the handbook, and study the readily-available material.<br />
<br />
The first four hours of the Fundamentals of Engineering exam include the topics that are common to every engineering discipline: Chemistry, Computers, Dynamics, Electrical Circuits, Engineering Economics, Engineering Ethics, Fluid Mechanics, Materials Science, Mathematics, Mechanics of Materials, Statics, and Thermodynamics. The afternoon portion of the exam, meanwhile, covers the large engineering disciplines: civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, industrial, and environmental.<br />
<br />
<b>PE – Principles and Practice in Engineering</b><br />
<br />
The examination in The Principles and Practice of Engineering, meanwhile, underwent a radical change in recent years: it was changed to a breadth and depth format. As such, all candidates must answer problems related to the same field during the morning examination. In the afternoon portion of the exam, candidates must choose from one of three possible modules: power engineering, computer engineering, or electronics, communications, and control systems engineering.<br />
<br />
The exam itself is divided into two multiple-choice-question blocks, each comprising of 40 questions. The first set of questions must be answered by all candidates, while the second set can be chosen by the candidate.<br />
<br />
There is an important distinction to be made here. In some states - almost a dozen - obtaining the PE certification qualifies you as an electrical engineer. In other states, however, obtaining the certification licenses you as a general professional engineer; you may only practice in your field of study or expertise. This means that it is impossible to become a nationally certified electrical engineer. The decisions pertaining to licensure are made by the states. With that said you can generally practice in any state by "comity"; you do not need to re-sit exams if you move to a different state.<br />
<br />
The decision to become a PE Engineer is not one to be taken lightly. It requires at least four years of professional experience after obtaining the FE certification. There are a number of legal requirements to consider should you choose to pursue such a qualification. If, for example, you ever hope to practice as a consulting engineer, you must obtain the PE electronics certification. Furthermore, only an engineer with this certification can sign documents that are to be submitted to public authorities. The additional reasons cited by industry experts include improved employment security, opportunities for advancement, personal satisfaction, and salary.<br />
<br />
<b>Summary </b><br />
<br />
Select few engineers earn the PE electronic certificate. The requirements are incredibly strict, you must complete four years of professional experience before you even attempt the PE exam, and some engineers choose to simply work under those with the qualification. It is a process which takes, at the very least, eight years: four years at the university, passing the FE exam, four years of working in the industry, and, finally, passing the PE exam. However, it provides engineers with the assurance that they are at the very top of their field.<br />
<br />
<b>Not Everyone Takes The Direct Path</b><br />
<br />
While some choose the academic route, going directly for an engineering degree, others take a more indirect route by training to first get their <b><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/2012/06/why-electricity-and-basic-electronics.html">electronic technician certification</a></b> then follow the above steps.</div>

Aside from those powered by dry cells, all of our gadgets,devices, tools and equipments nowadays run using electrical energy. Everything from mobile phones, kitchen appliances and even electric cars, can not run without electricity. At the same time, these things are composed of electronic components that work together to provide people entertainment or functionality. Indeed, <b><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/">electricity and electronics</a></b> are inseparable. Electronic devices depends on electricity to operate. Certainly, the best model of mobile phone is useless without any power!<br />
<br />
Magnetism, <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_engineering">electricity and electronics</a></b><br />
<br />
Science teachers have taught us that electrons move around atoms actively. All of these movements are caused by electrical charges. These charges posses their own electric and magnetic fields. You now see the crucial role that magnetism plays in electronics. When <i><a href="http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/6/23/business/11517544&sec=business">electricity and electronics</a></i> are discussed, it is inevitable to discuss magnetism. For example, electricity must flow through insulated wires made solely from rubber. Rubber is a type of material that can be used to coat wires so electric current can be conserved within the wires. Also, this serves as protection from any short circuit should wires come in contact with each other.<br />
<br />
An electrical fields is another concept that people interested in electronics must understand. For every electric charge, an electric field surrounds it with a magnetic field counterpart. These fields are not visible to the naked eye but devices can used to measure them.<br />
<br />
Wattage in relation to electricity and electronics<br />
<br />
Watts is another relevant concept in <b><u><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/2012/06/three-easy-steps-to-learn-basic.html">electricity and electronics</a></u></b>. A watt is basically defined as the International System unit of power equal to one joule per second. A very practical sample would be the wattage settings that determines the radio's loudness or softness. Nonetheless, appliances that have high wattage requirements can increase your electric bill. A louder radio volume setting equates to higher power consumption. Hence, having knowledge about watts, electricity and electronics can benefit you as a consumer. You may opt to look for more energy efficient appliances so that you can balance power and economy.<br />
<br />
Understanding basic electricity principles greatly increase your knowledge of how electronic devices operate. Having familiarity with such electronic concepts can greatly help you as a consumer or as an electronics enthusiast.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">One of the most important skills needed when fixing electronic equipments is soldering. A solder is a mixture of tin lead also classified as an alloy. This mixture can be melted using a soldering iron that can emit heat by as much as 200 degrees Centigrade. This skill is a must if you need to fix broken components or assemble a new circuit board. Soldering is a delicate process since heat and toxic metals are used, be guided by the following safety tips:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
* Put the soldering tip at a safe distance from your skin or your clothing. Since it's very hot, it can definitely cause a serious burn on your skin plus excruciating pain.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Be careful when touching the main flex with the tip of the iron. The hot iron can instantly melt flex which can cause burns on the part of the user.<br />
<br />
<br />
*Always place the iron on its stand when not in use. Practicing this habit can do a lot to minimize accidents.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Do your soldering in a well-ventilated place. The metals emit toxic smoke which can be diffused by good ventilation.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Wash your hands to remove any form of poisonous materials.<br />
<br />
Now, you can start soldering electronic components carefully. This <b><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/">basic electronics guide</a></b> suggests that familiarity with all the components that would be used is a great advantage. Soldering the wrong parts can be very costly and even cause damage to other components in the board. In most cases, a <b><i><a href="http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/">basic electronics guide</a></i></b> has a chart about electronic components. In here, a soldering procedure for components is provided for your guidance.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The <i><a href="http://getreal.ufcu.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=462&Itemid=274">basic electronics guide</a></i> and procedure for soldering components</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
1. Gather all the components and stick them to a sheet of paper with a tape.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Always identify properly the name and value of each part and jot it down.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Write the code (R1, R2, C1 etc.) if you think this would help.<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Many projects from books and magazines label the components with codes (R1, R2, C1, D1 etc.) and </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">you can utilize the project's parts list to find these codes if they are indicated.</span><br />
<br />
4.Resistor values can be identified using the resistor colour code. Look for a resistor calculator online to <br />
<span style="background-color: white;">make it easier.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">5. Capacitor values can be complicated because there are too many kinds with different labeling systems. </span><br />
<br />
As long as you follow our <b><u><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-learn-basic-electronics-course.html">basic electronics guide</a></u></b>, you would always be safe and end up with a good solder.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Almost all of our devices and consumer appliances are composed of electronic components. Ipod, PDAs, mobile phones, game consoles and kitchen appliances are designed using </span><b style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/">electronic circuits</a></b><span style="background-color: white;"> and built with components. Electronics is an interesting subject especially for young children who wants to know how things work. They are often driven by curiosity making basic electronics for kids an enjoyable task. Children can be taught to create projects but they need to learn some concepts in <b><a href="http://www.npr.org/2012/06/21/155519815/kids-get-hands-on-with-science-in-a-dream-garage">basic electronics for kids</a></b>. Start using teaching these simple concepts:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Circuits <br />
<br />
The circuit is like a train track that must be followed by the train. Electricity flows through the circuit which starts at one terminal and ends in another one. There are two types of terminals - positive or negative. Remember this simple concept: negative electrons seek positive electrons. Circuits dictate how and where electricity can flow. Not all Christmas light bulbs go off in case one bulb is busted. That is an illustration of how <i>parallel circuits</i> work. In fact, there are many types of circuits, but the most common ones are simple, series, and parallel.<br />
<br />
Currents<br />
<br />
There are two different types of currents: alternating current (AC) and /or direct current (DC). The main difference between the two is that DC sends the electricity in a single direction. Case in point, a battery has two ends that must be correctly placed with their right pole to make it work. Houses often use AC because anything can be placed into a socket anywhere for power. When DC is used, the battery is the main power source limiting its application. Never put a DC appliance into an AC outlet.<br />
<br />
Switches<br />
<br />
Primarily used to regulate the flow of electrical power. You touch a switch to open the circuit, power flows, and the bulb lights up. Aside from switches, a fuse complements switches in regulating the amount of electrical current flowing in a circuit. Once there is overload detected, the fuse blows to safely protect the wiring from fire hazards.<br />
<br />
Resistors and inductors<br />
<br />
These devices also monitors the flow of electrical power particularly in consumer appliances. Generally, resistors are insulated with a rubber coating. In the case of AC devices, inductors are used to change the current's direction.<br />
<br />

An electronic device or appliance is composed of different parts known as <b><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/">electronic components</a></b>. These basic electronics components are assembled together using a circuit diagram to create a device, tool or appliance. A computer's CPU is made up of <b><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20120622-702191.html">basic electronics components</a></b> that are connected with one another. It all begins with a circuit board or mother board (CPUs) that holds all the components together. An electronic circuit has a purpose to fulfill inside a device. For example, radios typically have amplifiers to increase volume.<br />
<br />
There are two major types of basic <i><b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_component">electronic components</a></b></i>. There is passive as well as active components. Here is a more distinct description of the two categories:<br />
<br />
* Passive components are ones that do not provide net energy into the circuit they are connected with. It is also improbable for such to depend upon a power source except for the AC circuit that is attached to them. Eventually, they can not amplify (increase the power of a signal), although they may well increase a voltage or current that can be done by a transformer or a resonant circuit. Two-terminal components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, and most types of diodes are classified as passive components.<br />
<br />
* Active components mainly depend on an energy source coming from a DC source; also, they can inject power into a circuit although this is not their main function. This includes amplifying components such as transistors, triodes, vacuum tubes(valves), and tunnel diodes. One of the most basic electronic components that solid state electronics can't do without are resistors.<br />
<br />
Usually, there are three main parameters for resistors, yet solid state electronics would only need two parameters in many cases.<br />
<br />
* Resistance - the value of resistance, measured in Ohms.<br />
<br />
* Power - The amount of power the resistor can safely handle. Too much power will cause the resistor to overheat and fail.<br />
<br />
* Voltage - This is not commonly indicated but it shows the maximum voltage across a resistor. It is a measure of the maximum voltage that may appear. If you have a background in basic electronics, as well as <b><u><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/2012/06/beginners-guide-to-basic-electronics.html">basic electronic components</a></u></b>, you can use your skill in practical applications like building your own radio.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Having some knowledge about </span><b style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/">basic electronics circuits</a></b><span style="background-color: white;"> is a practical choice. To begin with, all of our appliance and consumer electronics run on electrical power. Basic electronic circuits can help you understand simple problems such as why a light switch does not work at all. Besides, there are cases when an electrician is not available; thus, instead of waiting, you can apply what you learned in basic electronics circuits. In the same manner, you save money by doing it yourself.</span><br />
<br />
A good understanding of <b><i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_circuit">basic electronic circuits</a></i></b> requires familiarizing one's self with terms and concepts. You must be aware of the fact that electricity can also harm you if not properly handled. In order to learn safely and effectively, familiarize yourself with the following concepts:<br />
<br />
Circuits - This concept has similarity to a circle in terms of flow of energy. The circuit is the path where electrons go through beginning from one terminal and reaching another end. The terminal can either be positive or negative. The flow happens using a single direction- negative to positive. Keep in mind that negative electrons are attracted to positive electrons; indeed, opposites attract.<br />
<br />
Conductor - This is made up of a material where electrons can pass through. Usually, copper is used because it has high conductivity. Transmission between terminals is enhanced due to high-conductivity.<br />
<br />
Insulator- From the term itself, it protects the conductor ( copper wire ) by wrapping it with a material such as rubber. No doubt, live wires are dangerous which is why they are insulated. Insulation coats the conductor.<br />
<br />
You must also understand that there are two types of circuits: series and parallel. A series circuit is much simpler than a parallel one because electricity can only flow in one direction. A good example of this are light bulbs that stop working as soon as one bulb gets busted. This illustrates how a series circuits work. Conversely, electricity can possibly flow in two or more paths in parallel circuits. Thus, you would see some of your Christmas light bulbs working even if some of the bulbs are busted. A <b><u><a href="http://basicelectronicstutorial.blogspot.com/2012/06/basic-electronic-tutorial-online-for.html">basic series circuit</a></u></b> is often used for wiring the lights in our home. A lot of complex consumer appliances use parallel circuits because it's more stable. Nevertheless, consult an electronics repairman or electrician in case the trouble is complicated.<br />
