Electrical Engineering- what's next?


Posts: 2278

I would like to preemptively study some EE subject material to be more ready for future classes. But I'm not sure what the next step is in the learning.

Here is what I've taken already:

-C programming intro course

-Digital logic/boolean algebra class

-intro to EE class (fluff class)

-Calc 1 and Calc 2

-General Chemistry

-Physics 1

 

I think circuits analysis is a good one for starters, but what else?

do some of your own programming projects in the embedded / systems programming area to get an edge over your clueless graduate friends when you get a job

 I did learn Python and C in the past year but I haven't messed with it in a minute. I was behind the Palasalt account.

you should buy your class books ahead of time, read up

 Why buy when you have the internet?

Essentially getting familiar with it in a more organized way before you take courses seems to be the gist of his advice. 

There are PDF copies of most things though, if you look hard enough, and some even have the words typed out for searching instead of just scanned pages.

 dont your classes have books? books provide an organized linear flow. if you can get these off the internet fine. the point is read ahead and do some example problems

 Embedded systems is kinda like digital design but more involved right

yes. it includes C, assembly and some circuitry at times. i got a job in siemens in istanbul working on IoT last year. if i can do it without a degree imagine how easily you will get a job without a degree once you have some projects done on your github to show off.

Optics is also a fairly fascinating part of EE
