Joy Ekuta, a senior in Course 9, tests nurse call system equipment with Janet Gardner in Dorchester, Mass. Ekuta is helping to design a new nurse call system for Gardner, who has multiple sclerosis. Gardner's old system used a single button attached loosely to a wall, which she often dropped. The new system would involve more buttons, voice activation, and lights to let the patient know the button has been pressed and a call has been made. Here, Ekuta is testing a variety of button styles with Gardner to find one that she can easily press.

Senior Adwoa Boakye works alongside other students on a lab for course 6.002, Circuits and Electronics, in a student lab in Building 38. The project was the first group lab and focused on measuring output in metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to see if observed results match theoretical predictions.

Took this while studying for a test (digital filter design for DSP). Did not touch it with photoshop or anything, the lighting came out weird like this naturally because of a desklamp and longer exposure.

In the special International Railway Congress issue of the Railway Gazette for 1954 English Electric splashed out with their advertising budget taking a series of full colour pages for adverts looking at the company's lineage and products. English Electric had been formed in December 1918 and brought together a number of companies who had been involved in electrical and mechanical engineering along with wartime munitions work. Of the various concerns it was Dick, Kerr of Preston who had been most involved in transport; primarily tramways but also in railways. The following year EE purchased the Siemens Brothers Dynamo Works Limited at Stafford, works that were to become a major centre of EE activity.
Postwar and the early 1920s saw EE, like many other industrial concerns, struggle financially and in 1928 it was necessary to restructure and recapitalise the company to keep it as a going concern. By 1930 it was announced that much of the capital behind the restructuring came from the American Westinghouse businesses. EE now prospered somewhat to become one of the major UK electrical companies alongside GEC and the AEI group. During WW2 EE became involved in aircraft construction and, by acquiring Napier the aero engine company, the post-war aviation business became an important sector. In 1960 this became part of the new British Aircraft Corporation as the sector raionalised under Government pressure.
In terms of railway work, EE made many traction motors and electrification equipment that were used in 1930s schemes for expansion at London Underground and the Southern Railway. The construction of diesel locomotives began in 1936. In post WW2 years EE acquired both the Vulcan Foundry and Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns Ltd in 1955 to strengthen the business. As can be seen from the adverts much of EE's output had been in the form of exports and the UK railway stock shown dated back, some to pre-EE days. In a way the lack of UK materials shows the slow progress that the newly Nationalised British Railways were making in terms of Modernisation and the undertaking's somewhat slow pace in the replacement of steam with diesel and electric traction. In the years after 1954/55 as BR's Modernisation Plan took hold EE did supply many new items of rolling stock to BR.
Alongside the "Sunlander" luxury train for Queensland Railways in Australia, the New Zealand Government Railways are seen including the use of one of the new diesel-electric locomotives, the DE class, on a Royal Train and the main illustration of one of the 1500-HP DF-Class locomotives delivered to New Zealand.
