Hay Dr Phil I'm new to Electronics but I have some good knowledge of programming I can't do embedded/IoT programming now but It's hard I have Used languages like C and Go, I don't have academic background higher than Hight school Diploma, Math is not my favorite. I want to study Electronics so when you have evaluated my situation what would you advise me.
Hello, you can use a book called "Practical electronics for inventors" . It's an amazing book that starts from the begining. Buy a breadboard and some components( preferably buy a kit it general contains most of the components you'll need as a beginner.
Yeah. Well, in my opinion. These things nowadays all can be found on the Internet excepting 5. The proper engineers desinging and developing the quantum computer, electric motor for electric cars. So Therefore need to know the relating physics and all the math ever existed. Anything else Anything else of these two fied are pretty much useless in my opinion.
You can design a PCB without circuit design if a circuit is given to you. But that makes you more of a technician. As an engineer, you should know about circuit design. But there are many types of circuits out there, so it kind of depends on your field. There are analog and digital circuits. And then there are different applications like RF, power electronics, actuators for analog, and logical circuits for digital. With logical circuits, you can get into integrated circuits and microelectronics, where they are manufactured from semiconductor wafers. Then you need to know about computer engineering and protocols like USB, ethernet, WiFi, etc. With power electronics / actuators, you need to know about motors and mechanics, and safety. With RF, you need to know about antenna and RF propagation. Then there are other frequencies like microwaves, Terahertz, which are separate fields of their own. And when you get to IR and VIS frequencies, you are in the realm of optics and photonics. And more fields emerge for UV, X-ray, and Gamma rays.
Regarding programming languages, I definitely got surprised when you said that programming language is usually overlooked and avoided by Electronics Engineers. In my country, this skill is of utmost importance. Now, regarding which programming language, for Electronics Engineer, I think it depends on your application. For more signal and data processing, scientific programming languages, such as Python, Matlab, Julia and R are great choices. For other applications, such as, Embedded Systems, languages such as C, C++, Python are the way to go :)
Completely agree regarding Phil's Lab. He also does DSP as well. I struggled to secure a junior position because I don't know how to make PCB. Hopefully I'll improve soon
First soft-skill, trying to communicate your ideas, that's a tough one. At my first internship I was amazed how well my mentor could communicate complex topics to me, and in how few words he was able to do it. Anyway, my uni requires two technical communications courses. I would highly recommend that everyone go through their technical communications course series at their uni; I know, we're not english majors, I get it. It will be painful but it's worth it! I'm a senior graduating summer of this year (2023) and those are still the most important set of courses that i have taken... even more important than intro to circuits or circuit theory
@@none.4415 pretty good, was a little rocky at first (we work on very expensive one off designs so it’s understandably hard to trust a newbie right off the bat). But it’s finally starting to pick up
At university during my undergrad in electrical and electronics engineering, there were a few concepts I glossed over just to pass my exams, which I now have to return to in order to progress in my career. At school, I was spending my time learning the lab stuff (in my own time), to code, and other startup whatnot and podcasts. I'd say the lab stuff paid off because I found opportunities as a result of hard skills, but in the long run, I need the core electrical engineering concepts to do hard and real shit.
Electronic-Computer and Information Engineering grad here. Its a great course combining wlectrical, electronics and it. But goddamn its so hard to find a job.
Hi, your videos are really great and valuable to me, so thank you for that. I live in Germany, so it's really complicated to choose a career for yourself, because there are so many different systems of education here and all of them seem to compete against each other. I am already set on doing electrical engineering as a degree but now there are 2 different ways for me to approach this. The 1. is to go to a "TU", so a technical university and go through all of the theoretical and math intensive stuff the field has to offer, but not really learn how to do actual engineering work like e.g. soldering or designing PCBs. The 2. option would be to go to a university of applied sciences and learn just the theory I actually need to work as an engineer, but definitely not as wide and deeply as the TU teaches it. For that lack of theoretical education I get a lot of teaching in topics like soldering, coding, designing PCBs and a lot of projects to work on with the other students. So quite a lot of practical work and actually creating stuff. Have you experienced something comparable when it comes to the structure of a college degree or does something like this even exist outside of Germany? Would be interested in knowing if someone who does not live in Germany has heard of this system.
Danke! And no I haven't heard of that system before although in the UK there is something similar which the options are 1. traditional university route 2. apprenticeship route (which nowadays are getting more popular as you get paid to do work and to learn at the same time).
Wirers and engineers tend to be different animals. There is a bit of a crossover where each can do a bit of each other's work, but in reality, that only happens in R&d labs and even then, not often as a good design engineer is seldom as good as a good wirer and visa versa. I spent many years contracting on projects and contracts for companies around the world and the main thing they liked about me was that I knew pretty much all there was to know about what was involved in taking a product from design to production. Good luck on your journey.
I think many seem to get hung up on being a second rate wirer, a second rate hardware engineer, a second rate software engineer, a second rate prototype wirer, a second rate r&d anything even all at the same time. It is a greed thing imo where one sits where they feel happy and comfortable or cross the mark to pretend they are all seeing and all dancing. I worked my way up over the years to do what I got to love which involved many engineering aspects from all areas. The reason I excelled in one is because I enjoyed it as a base,but could also understand and accomplish the tasks of those around me without letting them know that I knew more of some of their job specs than they did . I no longer bother looking for work unless I get bored and a job is offered that looks interesting. A nice place to be to turn agents down and say you would rather sleep in😊
well...about building a portfolio, for resumes, what kind of projects does an electronics engineer do? when it comes to computer science engineering....there are a lot of resources to take guidance from. But for electronics engineering...i guess I'm not looking in the right direction. Can anyone please help🙏🏻
Im jusy wondering why JAVA never mentioned as an important programming language when doing embedded systems, where as JAVA is almost created solely for this purpose
Hi bro! I´m thinking about starting this career. I love coding and science. I would like to spend more time coding and making technology. Do you think, electronings have those?
It’s hard to say but if you want to keep your options open you can definitely start of with electronics, I might be bias here but if you do CS it’s hard to go to EE but if you do EE you can always go to CS later. That’s my recommendation, good luck!
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 London as power systems engineer?
You are my role model .please tell me how you got to be an electronic engineer I am a high school graduate and I want to be you😊😊 so please give me the steps
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
In Romania the degree is called "Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology". In other places is called just electronics engineering or in USA they use electrical engineering and then they specialize in electornics. It is just a name, it only matters what you actually learn.
Is electronics and embedded system still worth it ?? I am so confused i see a lot of peaple talking and intersting about data sience and devops and all of software stuf and they say that this is the futer ?? And this disappoint me as a freshmen embedded system engineer. Pls i need advice from you bros
do you already know a programming language (c, maybe) ? if yes, then you can learn it literally everywhere. if not, buy abdul bari's udemy course. but make sure to way until it is on a sale
As the name suggests, the main difference between C and C++ is that you can do more with the latter. Learn C to get your bases, then move on to explore C++'s additional features. Doing this you can better understand in what C limits you so and so what's achievable on systems using C, while still building your knowledge on C++. Python isn't too different from C++ but generally regarded as more user-friendly. If you get bogged down in C, you can shelf it for later and check the language. Python is also what Arduino is based on, so you might like to prioritize it if you want to focus doing projects with it. You probably want to master all of these in the end, they're widely used and similar enough that you aren't starting from ground 0 after learning one.
Hi am starting electronic engineering course in 4 days from the day I posted this message . I would like you to be my mentor, I noticed that all your videos you explain thing easier. Please your reply will be highly appreciated
Hey, I would love to be a mentor but I am afraid I am still short on experience and lack the ability to do that yet. However, I do not mind answering any questions that you may have but do take it with a grain of salt as the answers will be based on my journey thus far.
Regarding programming, yeah that one aged like milk, AI can do it better than humans (not rn but definitely as it matures) also they wont need to go to stack overflow everytime 😂
Hi! Thomas, hope you are doing well :) I am an aspiring electronics engineer. I watched a few of your videos and they appear to be very interesting; now that I want to learn a lot more new things, is there any way I can contact you (via mail, discord, or any other means)? Kudos to you, you are amazing!!
Thanks for the shout-out, Thomas!

Thanx bro bt I wanted to help mi know applications u were taking about ad their meaning such as embedded
👍
Python is NOT the way to go for embedded systems.
For my field I learn TCL, Perl and Verilog/SystemVerilog
As an embedded electronic engineer I suggest mastering the C language. Most boards use C or C#(hardly).
What's the package As A Fresher in embedded ec engineer?
Where do I start from if I already have a basic understanding of C?
