- Albert Einstein [r]: 20th-century physicist who formulated the theories of relativity. [e]
- Bioengineering [r]: The application of electrical, mechanical, chemical, optical, nuclear and other engineering principles to understand, modify and control biological (plants and animals - including human) systems. [e]
- Cabling [r]: Techniques, tools and practices for planning and implementing the physical installation of wire and cable [e]
- Chemical Engineering [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Chemical engineering [r]: The field of engineering that deals with industrial and natural processes involving the chemical, physical or biological transformation of matter or energy into forms useful for mankind, economically and safely without compromising the environment [e]
- Closed loop control [r]: A control system in which the controller has access to signals containing information about the current state of the plant (the object or system to be controlled) during the time that the controller is in operation. [e]
- Complex number [r]: Numbers of the form a+bi, where a and b are real numbers and i denotes a number satisfying
. [e]
- Computer architecture [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Computer engineering [r]: Discipline that combines both Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, including software design and hardware-software integration. [e]
- Computer [r]: A machine that executes a sequence of instructions. [e]
- Condensate polisher [r]: A process used to remove contaminants from water condensed from steam as part of the steam cycle in a thermal or nuclear power plant. [e]
- Control engineering [r]: The design of systems capable of accurately controlling a physical device [e]
- Control system [r]: An interconnection between two systems that are referred to as the plant and the controller. [e]
- Control valve [r]: A valve used within an industrial plant or elsewhere to control operating conditions such as pressure, temperature, liquid level and flow rate by fully or partially opening or closing in response to signals received from controllers that compare a "setpoint" to a "process variable" whose value is provided by independent sensors that monitor changes in such conditions. [e]
- Conventional coal-fired power plant [r]: An industrial plant which produces electricity by burning coal in a steam generator that heats water to produce high pressure steam. The steam flows through a series of steam turbines which spin an electrical generator to produce electricity. [e]
- Electric motor [r]: A device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. [e]
- Electron [r]: Elementary particle that carries a negative elementary charge −e and has mass 9.109 382 15 × 10−31 kg. [e]
- Engineering [r]: The profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to economically use the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. [e]
- Hugo Gernsback [r]: (1884–1967) Highly influential magazine editor, particularly in the science-fiction field, which he helped create, as well as an inventor and entrepreneur. [e]
- Information theory [r]: Theory of the probability of transmission of messages with specified accuracy when the bits of information constituting the messages are subject, with certain probabilities, to transmission failure, distortion, and accidental additions. [e]
- Materials science [r]: A multi-disciplinary field involving the properties of matter and its applications to various areas of science and engineering. [e]
- Mechanical engineering [r]: The branch of engineering concerned with the utilisation of the basic laws of mathematics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and system dynamics in order to create unique solutions to physical problems. [e]
- Open loop control [r]: A control system in which the controller has no access to signals containing information about the current state of the plant (the object or system to be controlled) during the time that the controller is in operation. [e]
- Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. [e]
- Robotics [r]: The science of designing, building, and using robots for a set of tasks. [e]
- Signal (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Signal processing [r]: Extraction of information from complex signals in the presence of noise, generally by conversion of the signals into digital form followed by analysis using various algorithms. [e]
- Wire and cable [r]: Two related concepts; the first being a single metallic strand or perhaps interwoven thin strands that act as a single large strand, the second being an assembly of metallic strands, sometimes mixed with other mechanically compatible structures, such as fiber optics [e]
- Woodrow Wilson [r]: 28th U.S. President (1913-1921); founded the Federal Reserve and brought his country to fight both the Mexicans in the Mexican Revolution and the Central Powers in World War One. [e]
- York [r]: City in North Yorkshire, England, at the meeting point of the rivers Ouse and Foss. [e]
