- 🔧 In this video I just want to show you a snippet into my life in London working as a Junior Electronics Engineer.
If you guys enjoy my videos and find them entertaining and helpful in anyways and would love to somehow support me. Buy me a cup of ☕, - www.buymeacoff...
Thanks for the support and much love!
Who am I? 🤓
I'm an Electrical & Electronics Engineering student in the UK.
Born and raised in the Czech Republic. (Ethnicity: guess and comment down below :P)
I took a gap year to work for a year in London as a Junior Electronics Engineer before going back to finish my studies.
My plan is to upload more engineering-related content videos with a little bit of a lifestyle vlogs, so stay tuned if you like those videos.
If you have any questions, comment down below.
I'm an electronic engineer but now I'm working in software development. It's cool to know what I would have been doing If I had followed that path. Thanks for the video!
im studying cs and thinking about a dual major with EE, bcs the work seems more fulfilling(EE study also applies to a broader range of jobs), may I ask what do u think about electronics vs. software? :)
@@hannahc2014 Mmmm at this point there are more job opportunities in software than electronics, so could be easier to find a job. That was the main reason that I moved from that industry (not too many jobs of EE in my country). Regarding the dual major, in my opinion, it's awesome as long you have the resources and time to do it. You will be a good professional because you will have both knowledge. With it, you will find which is the area that you want to focus on (remember, "Jack of all trades, master of none"). So my advice to you is that you should search for some job opportunities and the salary range of both careers in your country (or the country where you want to go if that is the case) and check which one works for you. After you make the comparisons both work for you, select the one that you prefer :).
If you want to know which one I prefer, now I prefer software. I like that you are able to create almost anything just with a computer in your hands, and the remote opportunities are more frequently too (I love that).
finally some real talk about a day at work __ really appreciate it
I am an embedded engineer i work in a company where I have to solve query of customers, related to electronic components they have brought from our site, daily we have tickets to solve and provide the solutions in maximum two tickets, some times we also have to test the components but not thoroughly only to see if it's working or not,
What are your views on this should i quit or continue ?
Hi.. I'm also an electronics student.. Now I'm doing my PhD.. Happy to see u as an electronics engineer...
I am a 2nd year student of Electronics and Computer Engineering stream. I wish to know about career opportunities in electronics
Hi Thomas, I'm currently looking to study Computer Engineering, but am unsure if it is for me. I'm looking up these "day-in-the-life" style videos for a better idea of what to expect. I was hoping I could get some questions answered if possible.
1. I've always been a techie and interested in the hardware side of things. Especially building computers. However, software, coding, etc, has always been scary and I can't imagine sitting in front of a computer trying to debug code or write it to be honest. I'm currently doing IT, fixing computers, and would like to level up my job through better education. What do you think would be a best fit job wise for someone like me?
2. I was looking into chip architecture and design as a possible job to pursue. What do you think about this job if you have any experience or people you know in this field, and what sort of education do you think is most relevant?
Thank you in advance!
Being a computer engineer, I can answer your first question. If you're interested in hardware, go for electrical or electronics engineering. Software is cake once you truly understand hardware
@@rpt170 i agree. im studying cs and coding is hard af, I only understood some concepts after taking computer architecture and electrical engineering classes, compE is the best for full understanding, but electrical engineer is another option that might not have so much coding, u can specialize in electronics.
btw this was a year ago, have u started studying? i hoping looking to do electronics engineering, chip design, etc as well
@@hannahc2014 You can break down chip design into two areas,
1. Logical design where you decide what the chip does and realize the logical design using some FGPA or already available modules. This stage (mostly) involves coding in a hardware description language such as verilog or VHDL. For example you can design a 4 bit or 8 bit adder using already available logic gates. You describe this circuit using an HDL (see some examples of HDL code, then you'll fully understand what I'm talking about). Now you have a "prototype" circuit made up of logic gates or some other module. How does this circuit becomes a "chip"?
2. Physical design where you transform your prototype circuit into a chip by etching transistors on a semiconductor wafer. You literally create transistors on the semiconductor wafer, combine these transistors into logic gates or some other circuit. You also create supporting circuitry (consisting of resistors, capacitors etc) on the semiconductor wafer. Physical design involves proper understanding of semiconductor physics.
This is a high level explanation of how you design a chip.
@@hannahc2014 Do you want to do less coding and focus more on the electronic/electric side of things?
Hey man, just started working as an R&D intern engineer in an IoT based company here in my country in which I'm kinda having similar type of work experiences and It's super fun even there are complexity presence in the tasks. I just randomly found your video and I really enjoyed your content a lot and I pretty much got Insights about how these field have variety of tasks and works, seems complex, exciting and cool. Hoping to see more from you!
I am so happy to see you get the same kind of excitement from your internship. I feel like we are super lucky in a sense that we are working in R&D as there is so much fun and creativity in designing hardware/electronics rather than us being stuck doing robot work like most internship end up as... Also thanks for the support Irfan!
Its a pleasure bro!!
Hi my name is Edward Ukeh I'm a student of electrical electronic engineering I need help to study more
@@irfanarefin1265bro tell me ECE is difficult or not
@@targetacademykannada8829 academically or theoretically, sometimes it sucks haha, as long as you can't relate anything with practical scenario. But once you hop into that and start exploring more, it'll eventually start get more and more interesting for sure.
What's salary as an electronics engineer is like in London when you start new?
Hi, bro! Now I'm interested in hardware engineering. Initially im RF specialist. But most of all we've learned just theory, all areas of physics; a little bit of programming for scientific activities. Also my hobby is assembling of electronic devices, that I've found in internet.
But i really want to have ability to design devices by myself!
I ready to stard study PCB design, altium or cadence app... I looked through your video about skills, but if you have additional advices - I'm glad to listen)
I am 2nd years student electronics and communication engineering please guide me what gain skills core field
Thanks for this, I am graduating in ECE this year and have only done software engineering internships so I had no clue what Electrical Engineering roles would be like until now
Hi everyone! I'm power systems analysis engineer (power systems engineer). I have a bachelor's degree that is not recognized in the USA and I do not have any visa to work in the USA. what are the chances that I can move to work in the USA as a power systems engineer?
hi thomas give a suggestion that I can do this serial communication on fpga, i dont have a fpga but i do have rasberry. what can i do to learn this python in serial communication.
Hey ! I’m from India and I’m actually in a dilemma. I wish to work out of India but I’m not very confident about it. Is there any way in which we can connect ?!
thank you for actually going into a work problem and explaining it
Love the video for someone that is becoming an engineer here.
Hi THOMAS,
MY SON STUDY IN ELECTRONIC & COMMUNICATION 2 ND SEM IN INDIA. MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS FUTURE IN THESE BRANCH FOR PACKAGE OF MONEY.
CAN YOU SUGGESTION PLZ FURTHER STUDY TO MASTER PROGRAM IN ABROAD OR INDIA.
FOR THESE BRANCH WHAT IS OPPORTUNITY IN LONDON.
PLZ REPLY
Hi, greetings from India I’m currently about to finish my high school and join college later this year, I have decided to take EEE or ECE, hope things go out well, glad I found your channel ;)
All I have to say is that you made a good choice :DDD.
bro this is exactly what i want to do for work when i graduate. With a CS degree but with an electronics background
Hi brother,I am From India . Now I am in 12, when class 3-4, I always egar about electronics, I always collect broken electronics things,see what in inside.I spends more than 5000rs ...on this hobby But,now my elders says ECE is more tough😢 and my math (class 11-12)is not so strong..can you suggest me what should I do?? Please reply 😢😢
You only need Calculus, Algebra, and a bit of complex analysis because...understanding things like impedance and admittance will need that knowledge. Actually Maths is only intense when it comes to circuit network analysis. Don't chicken. Pursue your passion.
This June 2024 I will graduating in ECE and I would say ECE is the toughest sub because the syllabus is so diverse like it covers basic electronics(analog and digital) , communication(digital and analog) ,vlsi,embedded systems,some RF and antenna theory ,etc.
So literally u will have 3-4 subjects for each of these streams .
With so much options you will have issues choosing which fits you right.
For me it was at the end of 6th sem around my placement period I realised all my electives and strong subjects were in VLSI. It was too late.
Most importantly learn some basic software stuff like DSA and OOPS concepts and solve few problems on leetcode which I will be starting now😂😂. This helps in both software and also embedded software role.
I suggest u to take ECE only if u could handle pressure and be a self learner. Looking at my friend's getting placed in software companies for 30-35 lpa and me still planning to do mtech or MS and then probably land a job. So it's a long path sometimes in ECE due to the advancements in tech and the outdated syllabus which teaches too much theory .
If you have interest in tech in general not specific to electronics I would suggest you to take up computer science and also choose a stream within CS which suits your skills amd goals. This is what I would suggest my younger brother in such a situation.
Hey man, how can I contract with you?
1hr lunch 😮.
I’m lucky to get 5mins while eating at my desk😢
Happy for you bro.
I think I need to look for a better job.
Damn, isn’t that illegal? 👀
When did you graduate? What are some of the specific tasks that senior electronic engineers do?
Semiconductors
Age50years electronics
I am your 2Kth Like
I have a friend named Wang or Jack, he is from South Korea and works as an American drilling machine engineer
Hii thomas, I am a graduate in Msc electronics from university of Huddersfield UK, and looking for a job , bit confused which sector i have to choose , could you please help me out
What is the schooling for this? I’m looking at a 2 year diploma program and am also wondering what the jobs are for this in the field, can’t seem to find any
Is it too late to go back to school and study electronics engineering at 43 years of age. I dropped out of school for long time, now I regret my mistake.
Hello Thomas, nice video.
I am looking for an electronics engineer from china, india or korea i can partner with. Do you know one you can refer please?
I will appreciate.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.
Bro Make a video how to find internship for international electrical engineering students.
Do you recommend someone to take electronics engineering? How hard is it or easy in a scale of 0 to 10.
I am an electronics engineering and I dont know what job to take right after graduate. What are those specific skills that we need to master
Really glad that I came in touch with your channel ❤️ please if you can please help me giving some tips about electronics engineering
Sick Video! Greetings from germany :)
How did you move from electronic stuff to computer science?
What did you specialize in?
Bro iam ece student but which skill I needed I don't know
Hello sir im also a first year in uni but i have not much of knowledge on electronics and electrical and i got shouted being dumb in lessons which i feel mentally insulted is there any way for me to improve my knowledge on this and getting better?
First of all, whoever shouted at you is an asshole, if it's a lecturer then he is a really bad teacher as you should never make a person feel dumb when asking questions, I bet there were other students who were just as confused as you but didn't have the courage to ask so don't ever feel dumb when asking questions so never stop asking questions as it is super crucial to your learning and understanding.

Hi bro!
Civil engineering and electronic engineering.Which engineering is more job opportunities and demand in England, especially in London?
Electrical engineering and learn how to code! We need more builders for earth and space industry
I might be bias here but I would say Electronics engineering as it’s such a vast field with many jobs opportunities that is not under the title “electronics” but it’s still technically speaking part of it, giving you few examples like hardware, embedded, RF, FPGA and etc. However, I’m not too knowledgeable about civil though so don’t just take my word for it and also do some digging yourself.
The next phase is actually to create more electronic devices that can detect pollution and also to remove actual pollution as well. At the moment... There isn't that kind of set up at the moment. So easy to jump onto the exact same band wagon. But.. you kind of create a niche situation then.... Robots should be able to be used to crush old materials and to carry them to factories. And then refine back into a source of raw materials. Rejuvenate back the earth.
Thank you soooo much! There's little to no information online on how a work day of EEs looks like
I want to do a career in that field so thank you
Hello 😊, I'm planning to do my electronics and computer engineering masters in UK and I'm a girl btw, do they hire girls in that role? 😊 Or is it invane to go in that direction?
Thank you!
Many companies these days are actively on the lookout for diverse talent in engineering, just like this one I used to work for. I remember during my time there, I heard they hired a fantastic female engineer in Spain when she was only in her second year of university. They offered her a full-time job that required her to move from Spain to the UK, and she decided to seize that opportunity rather than completing her degree. I am telling this story to illustrate that your gender shouldn't hold you back from pursuing a career in engineering. The world is evolving, and it needs unique individuals like you.
So, please don't get discouraged by any doubts you might have. Go for it with all your heart, and I wish you the very best of luck on this exciting journey!
(P.S When I left they also hired another female mechanical engineer!)
Bro which type of maths do need for electronics engineering ?
Doing first sem on electronics engineering and having a hard time on programming any tips?
tbh with you, I had the same struggles, there are three things you could do, 1st is brute forcing it where you just have to study twice or thrice as hard, 2nd do a project that you're really passionate about that incorporate a little bit of coding and 3rd is study with a friend who is really good at coding where they can help and you can help them back with other subjects.
@@ThomasDo haha sadly I cant do your third tip due to this online learning.Since I never meet yet my friends physically.Yeah I try to work out on other tips.thanks for the advice.
Hlo...I planned to study masters in electronics in University of Southampton..
Could you say more abt job opportunities in this field in uk??
Hi ..me too planing to do my masters in ECE in uk..did u start ur process..my frnd is from south amphton only
@@deepthideepu468 I have got my conditional offer letter... For sept 24
I didnt know python was used for hardware. I use it for financial modeling
Yeah, python is really useful in terms of automating test or general testing of hardware but it has no use in terms of development of the hardware itself which would be mainly written in C.
@@ThomasDo is it fine if I know c++ and not c
Why do we use c and not c++ , c++ has more libraries and advatages
@@vasudashenoy5199 From my limited understanding, the libraries and "advantages" that you have for C++ are really useful for high level development. However, it can become a disadvantage and cause problems when working in embedded system for two main reason I can think of. Most of the libraries becomes useless and waste of space relying on too many object oriented methods cause of it being sometimes so hardware oriented and low-level that you don't need it. Second, C gives you much more control where it forces you to think about how your code is interacting with the hardware more closely. As to the question if it's fine, I believe that it's fine but if you want to get into firmware or embedded engineering then preferably knowing C would be better as it is more used in those fields.
@@ThomasDo ok thanks
Python is classified as the 4th generation programming language... But I don't know if this classification was also kind of added towards the number of resistors on a board as well... Or the type of boards. Would be interested if the OP has any inputs here.
Hii , can i get an idea ..how to get job in london related to ece ??
Congrats on the job im so exited to graduate in a few years now
Pin this comment if your a legend
Do you think it’s worth it to get your FE
More of this, man!!
i don't like fish
Hahah me too, I don’t like fish either but trust me this dish hits different 🤧
@@ThomasDo dish looked bad good
I came to know that there is not such a engineering called ece (electronics and communication engineering) in abroad. But it's one of the famous degrees in India. Some say ece in India is similar to ee (electronics engineering) in abroad. Is it really true? And will I have any disadvantage if I go for pg in abroad after completing ug in ece in India
Ece in the UK would be considered as electronics and computer eng. communications is pretty much integrated in to any electrical engineering course u do
hi Do pls what does the voltage and current rating on a npn transistor means
It shows the maximum voltage /current the device can stand at the specified location.
hello!!! can i ask question? I want to know which is better in electronics engineer and cyper security career ? and which career is more high demand? btw lov ur videooooo!!!
Both careers are great and in demand. If you are interested in electronics then go for that. Personally I would say electronics is a bit more niche so only choose it if ur actually interested in it. Cybers more broad and is also great.
Definitely agree with both careers are great and in demand as well as choosing a career that you are more interested in. However, I have to disagree on the fact that electronics is a bit more niche, in my personal opinion electronics is probably the most broad subject there IS! Unless you specialise into a specific niche like FPGA, embedded or RF and etc. With an electronics degree you can literally be in any industry.
Nice❤
Hi! I hope you are good can you please tell me what is the scope of electronics engineering in Uk
It really varies uni to uni, the best way to see is go to the uni website and see their course structure, they will give the whole overview of the course from a to z.
@@ThomasDo Ok thnx for Answering
i pretty much have 0 knowledge so need a pro to guide my start thx!
There is really no easy guide to learning the subject, you just have to make learning easier for you like make a friend group to study together and help each other or find an alternative book for you to get a different perspective of the theory or concepts that you are learning but the best way to gain knowledge is through doing personal projects.
What company did you intern? Thanks!

Hey! I'm a fellow freshman year student studying ECE engineering. Can you tell me how can I learn hardware and even basic stuff like soldering? Coding is mostly fine as I can learn it online but I cannot do the same for Hardware.
Starting out with using a microcontroller is a good idea like using an Arduino, there are ton of projects online. Or doing some Raspberry Pi projects. As for soldering, I believe you can buy a soldering kit projects where everything is already built but u just have to assemble and solder them together. After you’ve learnt the basic signal protocols through various projects you can go and start designing your own PCB hardware if you want. Further designing and program your own microcontroller. Hardware is a broad term, the things I just mentioned is mainly embedded hardware but you can also be playing with FPGA or designing a simple IC chip. UA-cam tutorials are your best teacher, go search up some projects.
Can i pursue this route with a computer science degree?
Sadly no, the reality is that you can go from EE to CS but you cannot go from CS to EE
@@ThomasDo Actually, it is possible. I did it myself. I went from BSCS to MSEE. If you put in the work you can do anything you want.
@@heypaisan9384 Oh that's really interesting. Does that mean you have Bachelor in CS and Master in EE though?
@@ThomasDo Yes, exactly. I started my career working as a software engineer in IT (many years ago) doing database and web stuff. About 5 years in I decided I wanted to get into embedded systems so I went back to school for EE so I could get the necessary background.
For people wanting to get into this field I would recommend doing Computer Engineering.
@@heypaisan9384 What a journey! Referring back on to my answer previously was that you cannot break into the EE industry with a CS degree, however with an EE degree you can easily break into the CS field. Definitely agree on people doing computer engineering if people are interested in embedded, however, in the UK the equivalent computer engineering degree is electronics, just letting people know.
Hello Sir, I am a final year student of Electrnics Engineering. I want a suggestion that what skills should I learn before graduating. That might help me in the practical world.
It really depends on what job you are applying for but the no. 1 skill to have is being able to create a multi-layer PCB using software like Altium, Eagle, Veecad. Further skills like knowing how to code in C for embedded system, learning how to use Linux and code in Python for general testing. And Finally, having a tune mindset for problem solving which comes with experience from diagnosing issues with hardware.
@@ThomasDo Thank you so much.
I am new to engineering... doing diploma engineering and seeing you and so many engineers makes me motivated
I could use some help in learning about electronics engineering
Please if you can teach me about electronics
I want to learn about it
Haven't found that much electronics engineering and I found your videos helpful so thank you making such amazing videos
"The Art of Electronics" the 3rd edition is a really amazing book if you want to learn about electronics.
hii man i am currently studying in EEE in india and wanna come for masters in electronics… can u tell what packages can we expect after masters in uk in electronics field??
what do you think about electronic and electrical engineering ?
I study EEE and personally I think it's great. The reason being is that it is the most versatile degree there is. Back then I didn't really know what I wanted to do in the future yet so it gave me the most options to choose and explore from.
@@ThomasDo thank you so much for answering my question , one last question please ,
if you could go back in time , would you choose another study field like computer science , or you will stick to you decision and remain in EEE ?
i'd really appreciate you will answer me
Thank you .
@@NighBex_69 I would have chosen Electronics Engineering instead as I found out after working, how much more fun and enjoyable it is than when I was studying Electronics which was hard and not fun at all. At the present moment, I want to become a good and competent Hardware/Electronics Engineer and so studying half the modules in Electrical would be less use to me now that I want to pursue this career path.
@@ThomasDo thank you so much
I doubt a student would know the difference between electrical and electronics. The video pretty much sums up the competence some seem accepted with is far from correct for anyone that knows the basics even if the basics. That is why God invented the wirer😁
hi thomas , i m electronics engineer from indonesia
