Which are the most common mistakes that an engineering student do?

The most common mistakes that an engineering student do knowingly or unknowingly during their entire academics are as listed below:-

1. Not referring standard textbooks.

  • The top most problem an engineering student will face during its entire life is not having good concepts.
Now what i meant by good concepts?
Some of the students will think that we are in good colleges and our professor's are teaching us everything and we are referring their notes or some local textbooks so where is the lack in concepts?

The answer is when a someone teaches you something then he/she will teach you with what they understood about the topic. Now you will think what is the problem in that?

See, when someone teaches you a topic you will take the explanation as granted and don't think about how that particular explanation justifies the topic. So read standard textbooks always. Then it doesn't mean that you shouldn't attend the lectures. What I am saying is after listening the lectures, try to refer standard books. This standard textbooks will clear your basics.
I will discuss the list of standard textbooks for electrical engineering in future blogs.

2. Not asking silly doubts to professor

"During 4 years of engineering if you don't get the silly doubts, believe me you are lacking in knowledge"

Don't get afraid of asking doubts in class just because faculty and your classmates will make fun of you. Believe me clearing those doubts with professor or sometimes from book will boost your confidence only. Don't let you go like "This are the silly doubts and they will not ask such questions in exam". 

Silly doubts will make your basics more clear and if basics are clear then the tougher things will be more easy for you. I remember when i was in my college days, my professor use to told me that "Silly doubts are the most crucial ones". so, focus on this point.

3. Not taking the practicals/experiments seriously.

For an engineering student, practicals will make their understanding more clear and can imagine the solutions of some real life problems. Don't just go in labs to do some wiring connections or taking readings. Ask them, what is actually happening in the experiment. 

In most of the colleges, the practical labs are designed to allow students only to connect some wires, taking readings and yes the experiment was done. So, in the long run, the student's will only suffer because of such lack of knowledge. So, you should ask them question at each step, wherever you don't understand something. At last, you are paying them for this only.

So, this are the most common mistakes that an engineering student do. I hope you have got some good and relevant information from this blog. Just follow this points and i promise you will never regret in your life.

Power system, types of faults and their consequences.

Definition: A power system can be defined as a system that deals with the principles of generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electrical energy. The single line diagram of a power system network is as shown below Generally, most of the time the power system network operates in normal conditions i.e the electrical quantities like voltage, current, and frequency are within the specified limits. But sometimes the network may experience some abnormal conditions in the electrical quantities due to the occurrence of faults. Now, we cannot stop the occurrence of these faults since the overhead lines are exposed to atmospheric conditions.  Classifications of faults The electrical faults are generally classified as: Open circuit faults Short circuit faults However, they are further classified as: Open circuit faults occur in series with lines so they are generally called series faults. these faults occur due to the melting of conductors, snatching of conductors du...

Synchronous generator Vs. Induction generator

A generator is an electrical machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.  Generators are generally classified as below: Synchronous generator Vs. Induction generator The difference between  Synchronous generator and Induction generator is as mentioned below: 1) Synchronous generator The field is excited by an external D.C excitation and the rotor is connected to prime mover. The synchronous generator always operates at synchronous speed (Ns). Since, the field is excited by an external D.C source, the synchronous generator can deliver both the real/true and reactive power. Real power is being supplied by prime mover input and reactive power is supplied by external D.C excitation connected to the field.  Hence, both real and reactive supplied can be controlled. Since, the reactive power can be fully controlled, the synchronous generator can be operated at all range of power factors (Lagging, Leading, Unity power factor). Efficiency is good. Suitable for ...

Transformer-Definition, working principle, Dot convention.

Definition: The transformer is an electromagnetic energy conversion device, that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another circuit without any change in frequency.  During this process of energy transfer, the energy is being converted from electrical to magnetic and back again to electrical energy. The part of the transformer that receives electrical energy from supply mains is known as a primary winding and the part that delivers electrical energy to the load is known as the secondary winding. Single phase transformer The primary and secondary windings of the transformer are not electrically connected but are magnetically coupled. Thus, the electrical energy received by the primary winding is first converted into magnetic energy and then it is converted back into electrical energy in the secondary winding. Working Principle of transformer: The basic working principle of a transformer is "faraday's law of electromagnetic induction" .      According to f...
