ENGG4900 Concept Question: Electrical Engineering and Business Value

This assignment solution addresses a concept question for the ENGG4900 course, focusing on value creation and destruction in the field of electrical engineering. The response begins by identifying the student's engineering discipline and lists three desirable companies for electrical engineers to work for, namely Boeing, General Electric, and Apple. The solution then explores three ways electrical engineers can create value for an organization, illustrating these with scenarios applicable to the mentioned companies. Finally, it outlines three ways engineers can destroy value within these organizations, again using the context of the listed companies and referencing the business canvas model to explain how engineers' actions affect value. The assignment provides clear examples of how electrical engineers can impact the success and financial health of a business.

Week 4 Concept Question

1. Solution:-The discipline of my engineering is ‘Electrical Engineering.' There are some examples of
companies that provide a desirable working place in the Electrical engineering discipline.
1. The Boeing Company:-It is a big aeronautics firm. This company is a jetliner provider and
provides commercial transport services. This company requires the expertise of electrical
engineering.
2. General Electric: - Generic Electric is related to two sectors such as energy and aviation sector. It
works on the GE Aviation, designing, development. This company also designs the aircraft for
commercial and military applications. Job as the electrical engineer in the land of General
Electric provides the chance to work as esteemed innovators, scientists, and engineers to
develop an economically feasible system by utilizing the solar, air, and wave power.
3. Apple:-This Company is well known for development and research. It is one of the best firms for
employees to work. This company manages the continually dynamic consumer sector. Working
in Apple allows electrical engineers to increase their potential in the field of testing, design, and
development.
2. Solution:-
Electrical engineers can create value for an organization by developing and designing new electrical
systems by solving the problems and testing the equipment. They can apply the concept of physics,
mathematics in electromagnetism, and electricity on the small scale and large scale system to transmit
the energy and for process the operation. New technology can be implemented, such as robotics,
Automation, AI, and IoT (Internet of Things), which helps in reshaping the company business. I will apply
for the designing project of the company named 'Apple.' Real-time examples of the company are to
operate design in equipment and software to perform the engineering tasks. For Example, The industry
'Traffic Control System' is based on the process control application based on the software and the
hardware. The value of an organization can be increased by maximizing the assets and the revenue or by
Increasing the sale in the existing demand. It can be done by focusing on innovating technology. By using
the canvas tool in the organization, we can enhance the services of the company to the customers.
3 Solution: - Electrical engineers can destroy the organization in three ways. According to the scenario of
the company, ‘Apple’ electrical engineers can destroy the value of the company.

1. By decline the quality of the product during development.
2. By not providing the value to the company and not coordinate with the management.
3. During testing of the system in the industry, pass the defective or destroyed chips.
A business canvas model is a tool that helps to understand the business model of a company like ‘Apple.'
This model is structured in such a way that It leads towards customer service. It provides information
related to the value of the proposition offered by channels, information about the company how they
can make money.
