I’m Afraid It Will Take Forever To Complete My Degree

Traditionally, a Bachelor’s Degree takes up to four years to complete, a Master’s Degree requires at least two years, and a Doctorate Degree can take up to eight years or more. That’s all fine and good for someone who can dedicate themselves to being a full time student, but for those who can only commit to part-time status, those timelines might appear too far off horizon.

But facts of matter are that most degree programs at today’s career colleges are based on accelerated learning, meaning that most degrees take less time to complete than traditional learning environments. Coursework is based on shorter semesters—typically five weeks—and delivering a quality education as rapidly as possible without sacrificing student’s ability to learn and absorb material. In some cases you can even earn your degree is less than a year!

I’m Afraid That Employers Won’t Take My Degree Seriously

Because their degree won’t be coming from some top-name university like Harvard or Yale, some would-be students decide that it’s not worth getting a degree from a school that employer’s won’t view as credible.

In reality, however, most employers today do view degrees from career colleges as not only credible, but oftentimes on par with their more traditional counterparts. It wasn’t that long ago that many HR professional may have viewed career colleges—particularly online career colleges—as carrying less weight than traditional colleges, but as online education space evolves and faculty members and curriculums at online schools catches up with those at traditional schools, more and more HR executives are realizing validity of degrees earned online or through career colleges. In fact, to some, an online degree represents a certain career ambition, technological prowess and commitment to seeing something through to end on behalf of applicant.

I’m Afraid I Won’t Learn Anything New Or Valuable

Many potential students are fearful of fact that their trouble to go out and earn their degree might be all for naught—that classes won’t teach them anything they hadn’t learned already in their professional experiences.

As anyone who has ever taken so much as a single class at a career college or online school will tell you, however, this perception couldn’t be further from truth. Classes at any accredited university are taught by qualified experts with lots of experience in their chosen field, while you will also be surrounded by classmates who bring their own, unique experiences to share. Whether “classroom” is physical or virtual, you will learn more than you ever imagined from those around you.

Another point to consider is that most career colleges are centered around a team learning approach, in which students learn not only from their instructors, but from other students as well. With this approach, you’ll engage in dialogues with other students who have much to share from their own work experiences, and you’ll gain valuable lessons that you can take back and immediately apply to your own work.

Why Make The Move?

In today’s modern learning environment, with numerous career and online schools focused entirely on their educational needs, adults have nothing to fear in a return to school – and so much to gain. Here are some of main reasons more adults than ever are going back to school:

Career advancement or transition. If you’re not currently working at job of your dreams, nothing can change that faster than a more advanced degree and additional expertise.

To complete a degree from years ago. Plenty of first-time college students leave before they earn a degree, and a return to college is a supremely satisfying way to take care of that unfinished business.

To set an example for their children. What better way to encourage your growing children to pursue a college education than getting one of your own?

To fully prepare for running their own business. Whether you’re interested in opening a B&B or your own accounting firm, perfect college program is available online or on-campus.

Returning to school is a big step, but it shouldn’t be an overwhelming one. For those who plan move properly and take aim on getting all they can out of life, it can be best decision they ever make.

The use of many items of electronics equipment in close proximity in hospital environment means that same sort of EMC problems are encountered as with other types of electronic products. However there are some special features of hospital EM environment:

• Failure of medical devices can lead to injury or death. • Some equipment found in hospitals is intentionally designed to emit electromagnetic energy, often for therapy. Other equipment, which may be located nearby, is designed to detect very small physiological signals. This combination has potential to create EMC Problems. • Also in hospitals, there is question of whether to ban or restrict use of mobile phones. They improve communications but can interfere with critical equipment. • Many medical devices are connected directly to patients. For mains-powered devices, designer must prevent electric shock as well as ensure EMC. Electronic equipment is constantly evolving, so there is always possibility of new problems arising, e.g. interference from new types of mobile communications devices.

Remedial Measures: Ensuring EMC of devices/ components: Electromagnetic compatibility describes a state in which electromagnetic environments produced by natural phenomena and by other electrical and electronic devices do not cause interference in electronic equipment and systems of interest. In order to reach this state, it is necessary to reduce emissions from sources that are controllable, or to increase immunity of equipment that may be affected, or to do both. To try to eliminate all possibility of interference by decreasing emissions and increasing immunity further could incur a high cost to industry and could prevent new technologies from emerging. For example, a restriction lowering transmitting power of cellular telephones so that consumers could place their cell phones on top of any electronic equipment might compromise performance and economic viability of such communication systems. On other hand, a requirement that all commercial electronic equipment perform without malfunction at ambient levels of 50 V/m would place a financial burden on manufacturers of a large range of equipment. The following are some of techniques used to counter effects of EMI:

Source Elimination: An effective technique to eradicate interference is through identification and elimination of source. In theory, this represents arguably most effective of any measures, but is not practical in most situations, whereas this would require source to be periodically or permanently disabled from operation. Grounding a grounding point represents a common reference point for a device or multiple devices that functions to ensure safety or equipment and operator, and its effects provide some immunity to noise and interference. Certain transmission and other Electronic equipment require adequate grounding to ensure proper operation. The Conductor used to ground equipment should be shortest necessary length to avoid a ground loop condition. This could result in energy transfer through conduction to connected devices.

Filters The use of filters allows selected frequencies to pass through to connected device, while rejecting or attenuating any frequencies that are outside filter specifications. Examples of filters include low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass.

Shielding. An effective manner used to minimize, and in some instances eliminate, EMI is to effectively shield components from interaction with electromagnetic energy. This technique is often expensive and causes major design engineering challenges, especially to fully shield a device, which requires that conductive material completely enclose equipment or circuitry. Any separation in shielding material reduces effectiveness Of shielding technique.

Conclusion

With ever increasing use of spectrum due to modern communication equipments and also use of latest digital processing techniques for most of devices there is a need for laying down guidelines for Emission standards. The extent of spurious radiation by any device should be limited to extent possible without increasing cost of product. Various governmental and nongovernmental agencies must come forward at national and international level to coordinate and standardize permissible radiation limits
