Unit 1Before reading the text, have a look at the pictures below toanswer the questions that follow. Browse the necessaryinformation.Albert EinsteinNikola TeslaIsaac a.org1. Of three scientists in the above pictures, who do you think is theyoungest?2. Who is your most favorite scientist among the three? Why do youthink he is so inspiring?3. Mention one of the most phenomenal inventions made by theeach of three scientists.Let's read.NIKOLA TESLANikola Tesla was one of the greatest electrical inventors who has everlived. His technological achievements transformed America from anation of isolated communities to a country connected by power gridswhere information was available upon demand. In the 20th century, itwas Tesla's technology that united the United States and eventually theworld.English for Electrical EngineeringUMM3
Tesla's life was like a movie. It was the story of a brilliant andcharismatic immigrant who rose to the height of celebrity with hisamazing talent, and then was tragically undone by his own visionary ideas.The cast of characters includes: Thomas Edison, J. Pierpont Morgan,Guglielmo Marconi, George Westinghouse, Mark Twain and many more.A Serb by origin, his early discovery of the alternating current motorled him to America to seek a venue for his discovery. Here he developedthe polyphase AC system of power transmission, which drove every homeand industry in the country. He invented the Tesla coil to create highfrequency electricity, and with it, neon and florescent lighting, radiotransmission, remote control, and hundreds of other devices are now anessential part of our everyday lives.Tesla was also a visionary thinker, and in his papers and interviewshe anticipated the development of radio and television broadcasting,robotics, computers, faxes, and even the Strategic Defense Initiative.Tesla's great dream was to find the means to broadcast electrical powerwithout wires in between. But like many geniuses, he was not a practicalman. He gave his life to realize his visions, while others made millionswith his inventions. In the end, he wound up a penniless and forgottenman.In his later years, Tesla was regarded as an eccentric scientist.Ridiculed by his contemporaries, his ideas frequently appeared in worksof science fiction. He was the inspiration for the mad scientist in MaxFleischer's Superman cartoons.At the height of World War Two, Tesla claimed that he invented apowerful "death beam" that could destroy attacking aircraft. He proposeda system of beam weapons to protect the borders of the United Statesand other European nations. When he died, most of Tesla's technicalpapers mysteriously disappeared, and many have not been found.Tesla was so far ahead of his time that many of his ideas are onlyappearing today. His legacy can been seen in everything frommicrowave ovens to MX missiles. But more than this, Tesla's life inspiresus to believe that anything we can imagine can be accomplished especially with electricity.Anonymous. 2013. www.pbs.org4UMMEnglish for Electrical Engineering

I was born in Malang onApril 16, 1988. I accomplished my bachelor's degree fromElectrical Engineering Department at University ofMuhammadiyah Malang four years ago. I am nowworking as a junior researcher in Indonesian Institute ofSciences (LIPI).Due to my excellent achievements in scientificresearch, I have been granted a scholarship abroad toenhance my scientific insights. I am now pursuing mymaster's degree in Electrical Engineering Department atKyushu University, Japan. I am specializing myself in bioelectromagnetism.It is not easy to study in a foreign country because I encounter culturalshocks and a different educational system. However, I have a life principle,which is "if there is no pain, there will be no gain."My hobbies are blogging and travelling. During my stay in Japan, I can doboth hobbies at the same time. I love exploring Japan to gain Japanesehistorical and cultural insights so that I can write my adventure stories inmy personal blog.After accomplishing my master's degree in Japan, I want to return toIndonesia in order to share my knowledge to my friends and colleagues.Furthermore, I want to introduce an innovative idea aboutbioelectromagnetism in medical fields in Indonesia in both practical andtheoretical frameworks so that I can help many patients who need to becured by using technology.English for Electrical EngineeringUMM9
