The electronic circuits/nucleus of the computer which perform the analytical, computational and logical functions occuring durring the work session..?

The flashing underscore on the screen where the next data will be displayed..?

The data entry point on the display screen which indicates to the suer the computer is ready to accept commands..?

A collection of characters of information..?

the short term memory used for storing and retrieving data while working on the computer..?

The process of entering data into the computer from storage or the keyboard..?

The storage area that holds the info for/during processing by the CPU..?

A list of options displayed on the screen. The user causes the computer to perform tasks by keying or selecting specific items..?

Programmable keys that perform different operations as assigned by the software programmer..?

The process of protecting stored data by covering the notch or opening the tab to ensure against the accidental erasure of information on the diskette..?

in electronic circuits

im starting grade ten next year but i have to select courses now pretty stupid anyway i wanna know what is the diffrence between these two courses
Introduction to Computer Studies
This course introduces students to computer programming. Students will plan and write simple computer programs by applying fundamental programming concepts, and learn to create clear and maintainable internal documentation. They will also learn to manage a computer by studying hardware configurations, software selection, operating system functions, networking, and safe computing practices. Students will also investigate the social impact of computer technologies, and develop an understanding of environmental and ethical issues related to the use of computers. This course introduces students to computer science. Students will use Alice, a 3-D animation programming environment to introduce them to programming concepts, and then progress to Java, an industry-standard programming environment. They will also learn how to select appropriate computer hardware and software for specific requirements, as well as investigate the social, environmental and ethical impacts of computer technologies.

Computer Technology
This course introduces students to computer systems, networking, and interfacing, as well as electronics and robotics. Students will assemble, repair, and configure computers with various types of operating systems and application software. Students will build small electronic circuits and write computer programs to control simple peripheral devices or robots. Students will also develop an awareness of environmental and societal issues related to the use of computers, and learn about secondary and postsecondary pathways to careers in computer technology. Additional Course Information: This course introduces students to computer systems, networking and interfacing as well as electronics. Students will build small electronic circuits and write computer programs to control simple peripheral devices. Students will also develop an awareness of environmental and societal issues related to the use of computers, and learn about secondary and postsecondary pathways to careers in computer technology.

also which is better for a future job im talking about pay because i have a fair interest in computers, would it be good to take both

i am a computer engineering student and currently studying in 5th semester. my interest after i am done with this bachelor’s degree, is in microelectronic circuits (vlsi and other stuff) design engineering or microprocessor engineering. i recently realized that i am forgetting stuff from my past learned subject even if i had A in them and it bugs me so much. there are soo many subjects and it’s hard to keep everything in mind. specially the electronic circuits and their diagrams. my question is, should i be worried about this? or can i later cover all that i forgot. if u are microelectronics engineer or microprocessor engineer what did you do and what advice can you give me? thanks.

As a hobby, I enjoy making basic electronic circuits. I don’t know much about electronics, and I was wondering if someone that was knowledge in this area would be kind enough to point me in the right direction!

My objective is to connect a keypad (like a phone’s keypad,0-9, #, *) to an LED or LCD 7 segment display and have the display read the corresponding character(will figure out # and * later). Does anyone know how i would go about doing this?

This is the keypad: http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm/terms/14489

Thanks to ANY help available!

I am a international student and I want to get into an engineering school that has a good electrical Eng program, but i don`t know which University I would have some reasonable chances to get in…I was thinking…University of Maryland or Virginia tech, but I don`t know what are my chances to get into…

h.s GPA 3.35 in my country
Electronic Technician degree GPA 3.65
3 years working as an Engineering`s technician
-Developing software and electronic circuits for automatic systems
-Attended some voluntary program

Which University should I apply with some chances to get into?

in terms of electronic circuits. and components.

I am doing a project involving reed switches and would like to know something about their applications in practical electronic circuits. Want it ASAP.
I have found out their uses in reed relays and stuff like that. I want to know how they are used in burglar, proximity alarms etc. and what is their exact working role in them.

I am a novice to electronic circuits and am trying to make something for my kids. I want a circuit that, when activated, turns on a set of LEDs then after a few seconds turns the initial lights off and lights up a second (different color) set of LEDs. Thanks for the help

folks,
what is meant by load in electronic circuits. what does they do.
please explain
