18. The first step to getting output from a laser is to excite an active medium. What is this process called?

A. Pumping

B. Exciting

C. Priming

D. Raising

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A collection of atoms or molecules that can be excited to a higher energy state is called an active medium. Before lasing can occur, the active media is "pumped". The process of raising the atoms in the active media from a lower energy state to a higher state is like pumping water up from a well.

21. A given signal's second harmonic is twice the given signal's __________ frequency...?

A. Fourier

B. Foundation

C. Fundamental

D. Field

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

A given signal's second harmonic is twice the given signal's fundamental frequency. Harmonics are generated when there are non-linearities in an amplifier (there are always non-linearities). The worse the non-linearities, the more harmonics. A signal at 27.5 MHz (approximate frequency for US citizen's band) would have a second harmonic at 55.0 MHz (on US channel 2!). Can you see why there might be problems? A CB operator might do well to place a low-pass filter on his radio.

24. When measuring the characteristics of a small-signal amplifier, say for a radio receiver, one might be concerned with its "Noise..."?

A. Fundamental B. Fall

C. Force D. Figure

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

"Noise figure" is one critical parameter for determining the "quality" of a low-noise, small-signal, amplifier, and perhaps more importantly, the sensitivity of the overall receiver system. It is especially important for VHF (very high frequency) - and higher frequency - designs where most of the undesired "noise" (noise that masks or overpowers the desired signals) is generated internal to the electronics itself. In HF (high frequency) applications, atmospheric noise plays a much larger role in determining overall useful sensitivity, so a circuit's "noise figure" is less important.

Kalai said:

Hello! I want to initiate the topic "Engineering Students are wasting their Time in Management Studies".

In my opinion, now a days technology is growing very fast not only in development but also in services. Banks, Railways, Telecoms, etc. All the industries from small scale to large scale based on the technology. Therefore to manage such type of industries or organization, technical as well as managerial skills should be necessary, One should not be able to manage the organization until unless he or she doesn't have the technical skills in this HI-TECH world.

In India, Engineering Studies gives the strength to an individual to crack the top level MBA entrance Exams. According to one Statics more then 80% Engineering students get admission in IIM's, thus this statics shows that Engineering students are the only right persons who are eligible for Management Studies.

So, Engineering Students are not wasting their time in Management Studies, but they have other ways also.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some students have the good ideas to make our country at ranking. but they don't know how to apply the thoughts.

M.B.A teaches the leadership qualities and how to manage one organization/institution.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Radhakrishnan said:

Engineering students should have managing capability in order to steadily cope up with this environment....So M.B.A is the right option to develop their skills,confidence,leadership quality and every thing which leads profit to the corporate industry

Nitin said:

Hello! good morning one and all. I want to initiate the topic "Engineering Students are wasting their Time in Management Studies".

Some students have the good ideas to make our country at ranking. but they don't know how to apply the thoughts. I don't think the engineers are wasting thier time in management studies. In India,most of the Engineering colleges are giving the strength to an individual to crack the top level MBA entrance Exams.

This is not only the way. They had different ways with thoughts. Thanks for giving me this oppurtunity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mincy said:

Management studies is the right option for the engineering students if they want to come across world wide. Technology is developing now a days.so we also should develop our thoughts world wide. It's correct way to say tat 'my mba study made me to view everythin technically' an not the right way of telling 'it gets wasted'.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Srividhya said:

According to my opinion Management studies improves the individuals skill,leadership which is in need to overcome the demands found in corporate world. So i think Engineer's are not wasting time in management studies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ramanjaneyulu said:

The engineering students doesn't waste your time to study the engineering because some members are complete engineering course they don't get gobs. India IT(Information Technology) organization very back. So my opinion student study other way CA and MEDICINE these are course to get good jobs after studying. Every students have most important communication skills.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Braj said:

Of course, day by day no. of students from engineering college in MBA is increasing in India but what happen with them outside the country ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nani said:

As resources and standards of education are lacking, technical students are not getting their correct postion and many other reasons like lab facilities ,quality of faculty also responsible for skilled engineers in india.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dev said:

According to my opinion Management studies improves the individuals skill, leadership which is in need to overcome the demands found in corporate world.And after doing both the studies the level of the person increases so he/she has better opportunity of good job having good salary.

So i think Engineer's are not wasting time in management studies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neeraj said:

As a professional engineer you are required to manage your team or else at least interact with people who are managing you. management skills definitely would help and thus it is indeed a good use of time to do a management course.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ram Prasad said:

I agree to my friends views, with that I would like to add something new that we need to understand that the sea changes. The transformation from regulation to liberalization, from protection to globalization, from planned economy to market-oriented economy all demand a new approach to deal with all types of problems. So to cope and equip our self we need to have managerial skills by doing management courses only.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arjan Singh Grover said:

For our growing infrastructure. Technology, Industry, Engineering and management are both important. For the development of the country. Its not important to make a building but also important to manage them for efficient and effective working of the building. For this we require both engineering and management.

Stanley said:

Good morning to one and all present here. I'm not going to lecture about this topic I just want to convey my thoughts about this topic in front of you. If engineering studies may waste their time means no more engineering college and courses would not be developed. Each and every students can have a knowledge about what they will do and what they are doing.

Engineering studies provide the knowledge as well as leadership among different categories. So my opinion is engineering studies may not waste their time it may utilise their own time. Thank you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jyothsna said:

Hello good evening everyone according to me engineering students are not wasting their time for management studies, that is because till graduate level they are only with the technical aspects and later they are willing to know about the marketing, sales, dealing people in the society. So I do not support that they are wasting their time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nischala said:

Although there are many other ways for the engineering graduates to go most of them opt for management. Up to me I feel that there is no need for an engineering graduate to go for MBA when they have 1 or 2 management subjects during their graduation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keerthi said:

Good morning to one and all. I am here to express my opinion about the topic.

Most of the engineering graduates have proper knowledge about there future and what they want to do in future. But having technical knowledge is not enough they should be skilled in management too. Management studies not only improves the leadership qualities but also it helps the employee to overtake the problem during crisis by properly managing the company orteam. I accept with one of my friend's opinion that having two three subjects on management it can make an engineering graduate to have some basic knowledge about management.

So I don't think engineering students are wasting time in management studies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Krishna said:

Studying MBA after B.TECH is not a bad idea at all. But the thing which effects the decision what we made was the choice of branch in MBA. So if you choose a right choice then you will become the leader in both technical and management business.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Krithika said:

Engineering students in fact chosen their career as engineers, should go well in their path. Doing MBA lies apart. But since our country need its mind power to be displayed, engineers should do lot in their core to get more advanced technological advancement. Hence my opinion is that as engineers they should contribute to their area.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunita Singh said:

Managent study is an option for engineering students if they think that they can enhance their career in management field in that case it can be a good option and going for a management study might be easier then masters degree of technology.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ankit said:

For the purpose for building career purpose doing MBA not but if we think ad a bad idea but as a resource for development of the country it is better to do M. Tech or research work is good for tech students, because our country really need.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Svg said:

The person who gets in into MNC as software trainee doesn't want to stay just there!he wants to grow and reach the top level of that venture. !For this he must have managerial skills. !but I don't say that you need always a degree in management for that. You gonna learn it over the time through experience and observation of the trends in corporate world!.

So the bottom line is the if there well and good if not then also not bad!.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.Khilar said:

What I think is that, Engineering and Management are like brothers. Without the technology knowledge we cannot manage an organisation. So they are co-related. D reverse without d knowledge of management we cant improve our position in this world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Biswajit Sahoo said:

In my views, engineering study is required to tackle the top level of the management studies. Also engineering students having more knowledge to manage any type of company. It is also enhance our skills, personality, wisdom, thinking power to put our brain in any type of corporate world. In this modern era, we engineering students urged to persuading management studies. Also we will get more power and money after doing management studies. We will be also more secure after management studies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kritika said:

Hello everyone, what I think is doing a mba after b-tech is really a big +point as it enhances not only our technical skills but on the other side managerial skills also.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uday Bhan Singh said:

Good evening every body. I think this is right, engineers is wasting their time in management, now technology is growing fast day by day, world needs high skilled engineers, it doesn't mean man can growth after MBA. Growth is depend upon their knowledge not their degree. Degree has values for those who don't have capability to reach higher post in organization and one more thing management skills not come by taking MBA degree, it is depend upon the persons. For example most of our political leader does not have any management degree but they are running our country. So management degree does not need for engineering students.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Su01 said:

Hi friends, According to me I feel there is nothing wrong in an engineering student obtaining a MBA degree. MBA will actually polish their skill set. Along with their technical skills they get to learn management, leadership, organisation etc. So with both technical and managerial abilities they can even start up their own firms. It doesn't mean that only with a MBA degree you can start your business but if engineering students are interested in getting an MBA degree there is no harm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brahma said:

Good evening one and all. Yes my thinking also same. Now a days every engineering student must have the management skill then only they get good future. My opinion is learning skill is not the waste of time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Srikant said:

Engineering students are not waisting their time they know their better choice for future. In any organisation or company technical knowledge not enough to handle all the situation. They need well leadership, good managing ability to solve this challenge.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soumik said:

Technology is advancing rapidly and engineers/technologists are the pioneer of this rapid technological advancement, besides this it is true that to work in a organization some basic/fundamental managerial skills are required. Now the topic is "engineers are wasting time doing MBA"it sounds that engineers are doing MBA that does'n work for their career, but it is not true because if we look at the statistics then we can see that most of the students who are getting admitted in IIM's or B-Schools are from engineering background, and they are able to complete MBA, and are highly successful-so it depicts that "they are not wasting time doing MBA". The main stream discipline is engineers is engineering/technology. So I think they should concentrate on technology, and it's good to have few subjects on fundamentals/basics on management in syllabus of engineering. So that they can put their technical skill in a organization efficiently and effectively, and our society will be benefited from technological advancement more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sneha said:

Engineers know what to do but how to do and when to do it can be done only by a managers, so only B.tech degree will not help us in the long run, thats why b, tech s are doing MBA, definitely that is a wastage of time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakshi Singhal said:

Engineering course develops Analytical and logical skills in an individual and when these skills are combined with managerial skill-It becomes an Unbeatable combination.

Statistics also prove this fact as most of the students who cracks CAT and other exams are engineers.

For any foundation your base should be strong, and engineering provides us with this as in engineering we learn technology and in MBA we learn how to implement these technology in various aspects of organization.

Also today is the world of globalization that involves not only transfer of technology, products and goods but also services that involves human interaction, so MBA that teach us all this with Engineering becomes a best suited Combination.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shilpa Deol said:

In my opinion, opting for an management studies is ones personal interest, it does not mean that one who does engineering and opted for management will have good knowledge of handling an organization, I have seen many of them who is not from a managerial background but still running a big organization.

Now a days not only in engineering we find technical knowledge but we also get it from other casual degrees also.

Being an engineering student, I disagree that when I go for management studies only then ill get leadership qualities.
