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…

    I feel your pain, even at 50 years distance form Uni course !

    Nothing much has changed.

    Almost nothing in the degree course was useful in the short term or the long term.

    I'd like to to see a huge shake-up in engineering education - we need engineers or every kind, but we do our best to make uni courses as boring and difficult as possible - putting huge numbers of people off.

    The best way to learn, IMO, would be some kind of apprenticeship mixed with theoretical stuff.

    only fifty years. LOL last year of HS 69 (my 5th year),  and I was doing electronics in grade school. and all my coursework was lab-based,  I remember my first college lab partner (nube)  was doing the scope but did not know you have to calibrate it to the probe the scope before use. 6 labs in I had to redo, all of them. Disappointed
