senior year EE student here in the US, it's super wild to see what you guys are learning over there compared to how our courses are laid out! i definitely feel like i slacked off during my classes that introduced us to code, so my plan is to self-study C in the future lol. currently taking a microwave engineering course and a digital control systems course, both are super interesting. I think RF and communications is my calling, tho... the EM physics side of electrical engineering has always been what interests me :))
I agree ! If there is one thing I wish I could have done is do a year or semester abroad just to see how EE is like elsewhere and experience another culture !
Im thinking about RF and microwave, antenna, digital comms and radar / dsp as a sophomore transferring to georgia tech. such a wide variety of options, but i sometimes wonder if power systems is the safer bet (and more practical since it's less regionally localized)
@@kevinthewind there's always gonna be a market for EEs in power, but if you really love the RF and microwave stuff, I think its worth it to go all in. no harm in having a fallback of sorts in terms of choosing a topic to specialize in, but my two cents? the region lock on RF/Microwave stuff isn't too much of a concern! a lot of the jobs I see are military, but you can work for telecom companies and i'm sure some local companies will be in need of RF engineers. if you are worried about it, though, look into HAM radio and SDR as it'd be a good way to get some practical knowledge about RF/Microwave components (and DSP if you touch on SDR) and see if it's a good fit for you. Good luck, keep us updated on your journey! :))
Hi pal, I'm currently at my final year pursuing EE engineering bachelor in Canada, your content was really impressive, it make me claerly recall of what I have done in my 5 year university life, everything you mentioned just couldn't make more sense, thank you and have a nice day!
I'm thinking of going back to university for an EE degree after graduating with a degree in Biochemistry, these kinds of videos are helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I did 3 year Electronics. This was nearly 50 years ago. Looking back and what my various jobs demanded I regret not learning enough depth and making it stick. Everything I was taught during the 3 years I realised later had value and if I had applied myself more I would achieved more. This brought back hard memories of many of the areas you covered
9:28, I think the low pass filter cuts of the higher frequencies haha. Great video though, very informative for those who are pursuing this difficult but intresting degree!
I also just finished my EEE degree from Coventry University. After seeing my friends doing mechanical or civil engineering, I must say EEE absolutely rocks. You get your electrical stuff but also a little bit from other engineering fields and programming. I also had pretty much the same modules however my last year was more power heavy, so stuff like power distribution and generation and what not. However, my project was predictive maintenance using machine learning which i know is opposite of power stuff i took 😂. PS. I absolutely hated electrical science B and the whole electromagnetism aspect.
@@aleksgornik Im interested in automation and controls so hopefully land an entry level job in that field while doing some machine learning courses on the side
like others have said, congrats on graduating and super interesting video regarding course topics (US EE senior). You seem super tailored to/interested in embedded systems and programming; is that what you hope to do for a career? I personally find no interest in coding or programming, and have only learned the minimal amount asked of me as I focused on power systems. But your video made me wonder if maybe the US could benefit from integrating more of those projects which implement software as well. From what I remember, only one introduction course was required for me and anything beyond that was up to students to learn on their own
Yes I definitely went the embedded systems and programming route in my final year. Matter of fact I just signed a job contract and will be working as an embedded sw engineer soon. About US universites, I really like the diversity and choise you have in your curriculums. I was only able to pick a few modules in my final year. I feel like if I did EEE in the US I would love to take courses in biology, physics, philosophy and econ just be more well rounded. I think if you want to learn how to code you can just with youtube but topics like systems biology and quantum physics are more suited for university. The worst thing you can do is force a bunch of people to code when they hate it and thats kind of what happened at my university. So in conclusion - US and UK unis have their own pros and cons.
from the comments and this video......WoW that's pretty awesome to see how electrical engineering cariculam was framed the same across every continent.......In India we learnt the same for 4yr😮
I would love to go back and get an EE Degree. All this stuff sounds like so much fun. I have been slowly biting away at it through self learning, but I have spent 5 years making it through 1st and 2nd year material. 😅
I admire people who can self learn topics like this. I can't imagine how I would go about learning communcations or electronics on my own. I think maths is pretty easy to self learn but its the practical stuff which is hard so good luck with that!
well done on graduating, it seems like a lot of hard work which i might have underestimated myself picking it at btec level 3 with hopes of doing it at uni😭 if i did foundation maths is there even a chance i could grasp even the first few modules of core maths in the first year or is it just too far out
Thank you! Is there a chance ? Definitely. You will however have to put the work in to fill in your gaps in maths as they are unavoidable in EEE. I would recommend doing a foundation year at a university. Loughborough has one and its really good. They teach you all the maths you need so that your ready for first year.
@@b.rkkr.b7137I did mech eng, the foundation course is definitely a good idea. We had a lot of dropouts on the first year of bachelors, everyone who did the foundation year passed it.
Really appreciate you mate your content is banging! What do you think of the job market for EEs in the UK right now?I know that America is far better for us engineers : ( If you could go back would you study something else like software engineering or a finance-related degree?
Thank you! I think the UK job market for EEs is ok. There are definitely still jobs out there - I found one after 5 months of graduating. However it's much harder. People without internships are in sticky situations. If I went back to uni I think I would have switched my degree to the computer engineering stream on the same course but they are very similar.
I am a sophomore in EE. I am passing my classes but my grades are not the best.. I'm based in the US but my GPA is pretty low relatively and it's disheartening. How is life after school because to be fair I'm doing this for a stable, decent paying job.. struggling to get internships though
same here, except Im in my third year; I think its more important to deeply understand the material than to get a high gpa as long as you try your best and finish through
General education classes do not exist in the UK at university however different courses will allow you to take electives from different departaments depending on the uni. At loughborough some engineering students ( not EEE ) could pick a language class for example.
Well. Unfortunately what i have seen on the video. In my opinion absolutely not. Here is why: using only Matlab to solve the mathematical equanations doesn't make you and engineer. Basically first need learn those laplace,fourier, closed loop transfer function,stability criteria calculation on the paper. Then using Matlab to verify your calculation. On the state space section the hardest part is completely missing. The given electrical or mechanical system equanations and how they done the state space variable according of that. Basically all the important parts are missing.
well I just passed high school i really like electronics but also interested in softwares. I'm in between to take a decision whether I should do computer science or EEE, also there's a course here called ECE electrical and communication engineering. I'm more towards like take major as electrical and do side learning computer science by myself but also some people told me like electrical does not pays well as much computer science
Hey mate, i was wondering how the marks translated into lets say GPA for international measure; it seems like some universities does it quite different

Amazing ! Thank you :)

Go for it ! I think there is some really cool engineering to be done between the intersection of EE and biology.

This was a good video. Made me realise that math is super important and needs to mastered before trying anything else
Yes you definitely need a solid foundation in maths !

What's the plan now ?

I'm super proud more successful study hard.
VHDL: Very hard, difficult language. Thank god I worked in verilog
Just started the course and so far it has been good , we stay programming c next semester

god, in the UK the studies only last 3 years??, where im from its 6 years of electronics engineering. And most engineering careers are 5 years long.
Yeah in the us we have to go over a lot of bs classes that are not needed like our fine arts, humanities, and histories 🙃🙃
Yes in the UK the curriculum is very straight to the point. I did not have any elective modules until my final year. A masters also takes one a year !
well done on graduating, it seems like a lot of hard work which i might have underestimated myself picking it at btec level 3 with hopes of doing it at uni😭 if i did foundation maths is there even a chance i could grasp even the first few modules of core maths in the first year or is it just too far out

@aleksgornik thanks man, i'll take a foundation year into account when applying to uni after my first year, keep up the videos
@@b.rkkr.b7137I did mech eng, the foundation course is definitely a good idea.
We had a lot of dropouts on the first year of bachelors, everyone who did the foundation year passed it.
The way you described your degree, it seems like a technology degree that is heavily on the communications electronics side
1:08 the area is 9 right?
yep

Currently in 2nd. I hate vhdl as well especially since I have a bad lecturer
I feel you

It took me 6 months to find my job after uni so keep grinding bro the internship will land !
same here, except Im in my third year; I think its more important to deeply understand the material than to get a high gpa as long as you try your best and finish through
What!! you don't have GE(general education) classes or u just don't include them here. That alone is taking me a year combined.
General education classes do not exist in the UK at university however different courses will allow you to take electives from different departaments depending on the uni. At loughborough some engineering students ( not EEE ) could pick a language class for example.
was it worth the effort tho?
@@darkXwolf17xyz Of course !

@@aleksgornik plus i prefer write on your own neural network. Answer is again : not gonna understand nothing how it works,how to modify it etc.
Worst thing about engineering -hairloss
I still got my hair !!
My line was way better it went quite a bit back lol
well I just passed high school i really like electronics but also interested in softwares.

I'm more towards like take major as electrical and do side learning computer science by myself but also some people told me like electrical does not pays well as much computer science
Have a look at a course in computer engineering. It's the perfect hybrid between EEE and CS.
Do you guys have engineering practice
Yes we have practicals
Hey mate, i was wondering how the marks translated into lets say GPA for international measure; it seems like some universities does it quite different
I think my grade of 1st class (73% average ) is something around the 3.5 - 4.0 GPA
Is it all worth it?
I would definitely say so
Similar to the US
