UTK is a good school. you can talk with electronic maybe he can recommend good schools for you. Take a look at Montana state andMontana tech

OluDare01:
Don't even apply to Tennessee tech, funding is a long shot. Which University of Tennessee are you applying to? Chattanooga or Knoxville? NCAT only gives international students half funding. University of Toledo isn't a good school. I am not discouraging you, just giving you heads up.

Dear GURUS,

I have a Skype Interview for a GA that i applied (Assistant Resident Director - Fall 2017). The GA will give me full tuition waiver and very attractive stipends.

Please who can guide me on the dos and don'ts of a Skype Interview in this aspect and what are the likely questions to be asked. GUIDE A BROTHER PLEASE

Thank you,

Check if some of those schools use unofficial local transcripts(not addressed to the school) Send that first (uploading on their portal). Then if they admit you, you can send the official transcript. Finito. Just make sure that you have at least 5 safe schools in that 10school list of yours. Or else na frog jump we go give you!!!

[quote author=TheZed post=56194559]Good morning all, For those of us hoping to write the Gre by september or subsequent months to come, please can we come together to purchase the magoosh premium account ( the one for 6 month). It is no news that one's success on the Gre is hinge on the amount of practice test he/she went through. Let's come together to be part of eachother's success story. The truth is I have written the exam before but I had a little less than 300. I think I should just say it sef, I had 294 (150Q 144V) but I strongly believe those scores can still increase with enough practice test. masterforceii initially made a post about this, but it appears I am the only one that has contacted him about it so far. Please let's come together to reduce the price burden, we will all benefit from it.
Please I'm very much interested. Thanks

Electrical engineers should take note of this question before going for an interview or practical aptitude test. if you do not know 85% of the answers now as your reading it for the first time then you have work to do on yourself. Because of the nature of our university system(un experience lecturers with little or know industrial knowledge) and poor industrial training program, most of us graduated without knowing that these questions are the key to nailing any interview in electrical power section(instrument and process control will come later).
i can only vouch for AEIT for now wrt practical training.

1= What is the different between a solid state relay and an electromagnetic relay.
2= Why is it that an electrical motor using 480VAC is runs on a star/delta circuit.
3= Draw the control and the power diagram of a direct online motor.
4= What is single phasing of a 3 phase motor.
5= What is the function of a relay, contactor,and overload relay in a motor circuit.
6= what is the full meaning of MCB,MCCB and OLR
7= Name five part of an AC motor
8= Know your motor calculation, viz a viz slip. efficiency, speed.
9= How do you reverse the direction of a DC motor.
10=How do you reverse the direction of an AC motor.
11=what are the causes of a motor overload.
12=The speed of a motor is determine by what two factors
13=What is the different between synchronous and asynchronous motor.
14=Explain the operation of an induction motor.
15=How effective are you in the use of megger meter and analog/digital meter.
16=What are the different type of motor overload protection devices and how are they connected. such as fuses, OLR, MCB, MCCB, phase failure device, under current device, etc.
17=what do you understand by Power factor correction, what are the types of power factor correction and why is power factor correction important. etc.
18= Add more electrical motor question that you have come across in the interview.

everything having being said is know your motor, transformer and practical basic electricity very well.
note that you do not need to answer all the questions being asked in an interview but you need to answer a quite number of the question asked to your best, keep it simple and clear but before you get to this stage, your cv should speak for you.
consult other trends to learn how to write a very good cv.

i have 4 pdf and an electrical maintenance video to give out to those who want it. i have had my day, struggle to get here, made sacrifices, waited resources in search of practical electrical knowledge. the key is NEVER GIVE UP. [size=18pt]one of your best aid to learning is www.youtube.com
there are so many short videos to explain most interview question.[/size]

I'm sorry I'm just seeing this.

rhymz:
which policy did the government make that favors only Dangote cement? Nothing is as annoying as ignorance. Dangote and a few others promised the government that they will move from rebagging cement from Asia to actually manufacturing it here once his obajana plant starts producing at full capacity, so far he is the one keeping to that promise.

Many are still in the business of importing bulk cement and rebagging it, how long are we going to run our economy on importation.

When Ibeto and Dangote had serious issues to the point the OBJ government closed down Ibeto it took the YaraduA-JEG government to get a reprieve and even got additional benefits, no vat paid on his imported cement and about some billions paid to him as damages..... What else do you want the government to do to show support. Ban Dangote

Many of you lack objectivity and have decided to let bigotry impair the way you think..... This Dangote guy would have been a saint if he was supporting APC. This is one of the reason I find it difficult to trust any party that has majority Yoruba support cos you see them use their control of the media to swing and spin news to their own benefits even when it is a lie.

They would not have found anything suspicious if Dangote was an APC lackey throwing money around. Your opposition is petty and based on irrational criticism rather than substance. Many people here have lost respect and decorum since they started this emotional and very bias support for Buhari and APC, to them it goes beyond Nigeria, it is more of a bragging right for the Yoruba political genius of being in opposition and wrestling power from the ruling government. There is no substance to their opposition, just some childish, immature and petty need to be seen as the race whose efforts put Nigeria in the so-called right path........ The fact is that, Nigeria is already in the right path.

sleekpro:
And someone will come here and say GEJ is not working.

If the big shots like dangote and innoson can see a bright futur in GEJ, then who ever say GEJ will not continiue with his good work,
#shouldgoanddie

GEJ till cement comes down to 250 per bag

stevecrun: post ur transcript bro..let the big men here see to your mistakes.

Sorry,once again for your denial

stevecrun: Blings eye like a frog,blinks eye like a gay..

Those statements on your transcript made me laugh out loud bro..

Which visa officer interview u?Which cubicle?

Your interview was okay,but u were not composed..
Me,i do like say i no send the visa yesterday,my left elbow on the window slab,i was then waving my right hand while explaining with my starched designer shirt.

Apply again bro,print the main college board test page and don't skip pages..Hope u did not state on your ds160 that your're still in school in Nigeria?

oyinbo come dey use me wash
hep me gurus to decide sha.confused tho

thibcyrain: Pls my boss,which dates are available for interview,i wish to reapply ASAP and sincerely am ready,i was denied yesterday.and i was told to reapply.i think all faults was from me.i was of point.i nver xpected such questions

bbdd: Lol.
I probably shouldn't bother then.
I'll call wes by Thursday to find out. If anything has landed at their office.

thibcyrain: gurus in the house my
interview is coming soon,i really need to start practing,it will be nice
if u hep me with this rehearsal transcript.thank u for every thing.an
in-ALLAH testimonies will happen,pls i still need more opinion

vo;so why are u going to the us
me;To pursue an undergraduate degree in electrical and electronics
engineering.

VO;which school are u going too
ME;SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY

vo;how many schools did u apply to;
me;3(south dakota state university,claflin university south
Carolina,cleverland state university ohio

vo;what happened to your admission in this schools
me;i was on the waitin list of cleverland state university and later got
no responce from them,and for claflin i was admitted for computer
engineering but i have always wanted to study electrical and electronics
engineering.
VO-why have u chosen to study electrical electronics engineering.

me-when i was young i was always fascinated about the mechanism of
electrical appliances and always wanted to know the mistery behind it,i
grew up to know that i have a very curious mind that enjoys the study of
science,technology and mathematics.so i decided to opt in for a field
that will help me improve this my inearth abilities,my secondary reason
is beacuse power is one of the biggest problem the country is
facing,studying the course will enable me solve the problem on my own
path as this as always been my dream for my father land.

VO-why did u choose sdsu;
me-THE institute of electrical and electronics engineering(IEEE) has
ranked sdsu college of engineering from 2009-2013 among the top 20
schools contributing solely to the technology for the recent and next
generation,THE faculty to student ratio is also in the ratio of
16;1,this will enable my teacher easily identify my strength and
weaknesses. its outstanding curriculum fits my career desire as i will
have the opportunity of choosing an option in power engineering in my
last two years,the school also got me fascinated as undergraduate
students will be allowed to take undergraduate research in any topic of
his/her choice,and no douth i intend starting one at the beginning of my
second year,lastly ITs TUITION IS ALSO VERY AFFORDABLE.

vo;when did u finish high school
me;i finished 2009

vo;do u have you transcripts.
me-All i have is my o level results,my school does not release students
transcripts directly to her student,it is usually sent directly to
institution on request.

vo;So what have you been doing since 2009
me-i got my ssce result late 2009,and in 2010-2012 i enrolled for a
training in electrical simulation software and micro controller
programming,i lost my only elder brother after i finished my training in
2012 .th is got my devastated as i was seriously down.I understood i
have to move on so i enrolled for 10MONTHS SAT TUTORIAL in MARCH 2013
and i wrote my SAT EXAMS IN JANUARY 2014

vo-so who is your sponsor
me-my uncle

VO-what does he do-
he is the CEO/CTO OF XYZ COMPANY,THEY sell and install high voltage
transformers and generators.
vo-how many children does your uncle have
me-just 1
vo-why is your uncle sponsoring u
me-he has been in charge of my education right when i was from primary
school,i have always know him as my second dad.i have also promised him i
will be working with him when i get back especially as i am also going
to major in his field.

VO;ok no problem u can pick up ur visa in few days,enjoi ur stay in the
us
Me;thank u very much.
