Read the following text and fill in the gaps. Use the words given in boxes:

Computer focuses engineers discipline design personal Engineering

Computer Engineering (also called Electronic and Computer Engineering, or Computer Systems Engineering) is a (1) __________ that combines both Electronic (2) __________ and (3) __________ Science. The abbreviation is EECS. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering, software design and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Computer (4) __________ are involved in many aspects of computing, from the (5) __________ of individual microprocessors, (6) __________ computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only (7) __________ on how computer systems work themselves, but also how they integrate into the larger picture.

designing monitor include digital engineers

Usual tasks involving computer engineers (8) __________ writing software and firmware for embedded microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, (9) __________ analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems. Computer (10) __________ are also suited for robotics research, which relies heavily on using (11) __________ systems to control or (12) __________ electrical systems like motors, communications, and sensors.

Electrical engineering (sometimes referred to as electrical and electronic engineering) is a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of (13) __________ , electronics and (14) __________ . The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late (15) __________ century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical (16) __________ supply. It now (17) __________ a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.

electricity small information Engineering computers

Electrical (18) __________ may or may not include electronic engineering. A distinction is made usually outside of the United States. Electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of (19) __________ -scale electronic systems including (20) __________ and integrated circuits. Alternatively, electrical engineers are usually concerned with using (21) __________ to transmit energy, while electronic engineers are concerned with using electricity to transmit (22)__________ .

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

(01:50)

PRE-LISTENING

1. Read the words and their explanations; try to understand the meaning:

jack = electronic connection between two pieces of electrical equipment;

semi = half, ex. semi-circle, semi-automat;

wire = a piece of metal in the form of a thin thread that is used to carry electricity;

cord (US) = a kind of a cable to carry wires;

channel = ex: a TV station, a radio station, etc…;

to play back = to turn on the TV or recorder and watch or listen to something again.

WHILE-LISTENING

Listen to the track without video and answer the following questions.

2. What is being connected?

3. What is the model of a camera?

4. Why are colours mentioned?

5. What is the order of the colours mentioned?

6. Listen, watch the video and fill in the gaps in the following text:

00:00 – 00:45 So, now we talk about (1) __________ your XHA1 to a (2) __________ or a (3) __________ . And the way you do that is, first of all, …, using your (4) __________RCA (5) __________to a mini (6) __________ , and … this should come with your XHA1. And if you’ve used this before, all the TVs … have the simple “IN” – (7) __________ for (8) __________ , (9) __________ and (10) __________ for audio (11) __________ . This is a standard definition. … .   00:46 – 00:59 You can use a componic cable that came with your XHA1. Its cord – (12) __________ , __________ , __________video (13) __________ and this is pretty much able to (14) __________ on your newer high-definition white (15) __________ TVs.   01:00 – 01:50 And for connecting to a (16) __________ you’ll need a Firewire (17) __________ , like this one. The semi (18) __________ to a camera and the semi connects to the back of a computer. So, where do all these connections take place is right here, next to the (19) __________door. And we’ve got a couple of connections. You see a Firewire - as this HDV/DV. And that’s what you do to connect your (20) __________ . And you’ve got this yellow (21) __________ right here. And that’s the way you use your standard (22) __________ cables. And below that is where the “componic” (23) __________ connects, so you can playback in HD on an HD-television. So, those are the (24) __________ you can connect your cam coder to a (25) __________ or a computer and help playback your tape on a television or a computer.

POST-LISTENING

Fulfill the following tasks:

7. Summarize the instructions on how to connect a camera to a TV or a computer.

8. Watch the video without audio and make comments.

9. Write the instructions on how to connect a photo camera to a computer, a microphone to a computer, a mobile phone to a computer, a DVD player to a TV, etc.
