Frame 5:

One area that Electrical Engineers work in is the generation and distribution of electrical power. Alternating Current (AC) is the method of delivering power from a power plant to your house.

1. Who invented the alternating current (AC) power system used in the U.S.? (his initials are N.T.) –

2. Show a picture of him.

3. Most all the electrical power distribution wires in the U.S. are connected together. What is the name for this network of wires? –

4. Show a picture of high voltage power lines.

Frame 6:

After Electrical Engineers developed the means of distributing electrical power to people’s homes, an explosion of products were developed that used this electricity.

1. The phonograph, motion picture projector, light bulb, stock ticker, X-ray machine, alkaline batteries. Who was the great inventor who developed these electrical products? –

2. Show a picture of him.

Frame 7:

We’ve already studied how Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain invented the transistor. When millions of transistors are put together on one piece of silicon it’s called an Integrated Circuit.

1. What Electrical Engineer developed the first Integrated Circuit? -

2. What company did he work for when he invented it? –

3. When did he invent it? –

4. Show a picture of an Integrated Circuit.

Frame 8:

The invention of the Integrated Circuit lead to the invention of the microprocessor (the heart of all today’s computers, game systems and cell phones).

1. Electrical Engineers at what two companies invented the microprocessor. Name either one or both of those companies –

2. Show a picture of a microprocessor. –

3. The microprocessor lead to the development of the personal computer. One of the first companies to develop a personal computer was Apple Computer. Name the two founders (one was an Electrical Engineer) of Apple Computer. –

4. Show a picture of one of Apple’s famous products.

Frame 9:

Another area of employment for Electrical Engineers is in the field of instrumentation. The world’s largest computer company got its start making electronic instruments for Walt Disney.

1. What is the name of this famous company that was started in a garage? –

2. What are the names of the two Electrical Engineers who founded this company? –

3. What product did they make for Walt Disney that was used for the movie Fantasia? –

4. Show a picture of this company’s logo.

Frame 10:

Another Electrical Engineering feat that revolutionized society was the invention of television.

1. What Electrical Engineer built the world's first working fully electronic television system? (his initials are P.F.) –

2. When did he first demonstrate his system to the press? –

3. He also invented the way a TV image is scanned on a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) when he was 14. What was the motivation for this (Wikipedia – under the inventor’s name)? –

Frame 11:

Show the median salary for a beginning Electrical Engineer. Find it on
