ELECTRONICS ROADMAP

USER919
USER919 over 2 years ago

Hello!

I am a university student and it is my third year studying electronics.  The studying system (programs) is so bad (no application of what you study : pure theory) and old (from the 70s) and the exams are just copies of older ones which lead to me passing the years with a lot of holes in my knowledge and I feel like I don't have any level (the biggest blame is on me there are a bunch of resources online and I chose to take the easy way).

So I want to try and catch up can any one who studied electronics by themselves give me a roadmap with books I should study and if possible with how much time it takes based on his experience. We studied a little of everything my problem is mainly with communication circuits.

Thank you for your time.

    I have never studied, but that did not keep me from going into electronics anyway. A very good general book is "the art of electronics" , and I highly recommend doing a practical approach while you are…

    I'll mostly repeat mayermakes 's recommendations with one addition. First, "Art of Electronics." It is a fantastic mix of theory, math, and practical application. At the very least, it provides a good…

    This is mostly as it should be. If you spend/waste your time doing too much practical stuff, you'll never learn in any detail. I can't see how you'll learn much about communications without the theory…

    By third year, you are just getting started into the interesting topics. It is normal to have knowledge holes as learning is a continuous process. Communications itself is a broad range of disciplines, analog hf, uhf, vhf,  digital, modulation schemes, antennas, noise, security, on and on....

    Speak to your professors about resources for study or even helping them as an intern for research, or as a lab assistant.  You can do these and get paid for the service. 

    Join some local club or local professional organizations to talk and get other perspectives. Again those contacts may need part time help where you get on the job training with a little pay as well. 

    You learn alot by doing.
