ELECTRONICS ROADMAP

USER919

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 studied Electronics in  High School (long ago, at another time), and then in College. For starters grab a copy of this book Electronic Device and circuit theory 11th edition By Robert L. Boylestad (high school & college level) if you can't find it let me know friend me I have a pdf of it. I also have a copy of Hands-On-Electronics by Daniel M. Kaplan and Christopher G. White

    on second thought maybe I will hang them on my server.

    BTW if anybody needs a book let me know, I might have it, as I have a few thousand of them. LOL one that I have in both hardcover and PDF just to let you all know this book is not for the faint-hearted, with tons of nasty math is MICROELECTRONIC CIRCUITS 5th Ed Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth C. Smith

    Those books are used here too! I still have a paper copy of the Sedra&Smith book. And a few others, but some were given away since they are useful for the following year batch of students.

    Just in case looking through them scares anyone off, although such books look heavy, I don't think anyone reads them cover-to-cover, rather, they are used to supplement what got presented/taught, reading up on specific topics, and for doing exercises. It's not unusual for chunks of such books to remain unread. Definitely not a page-turner or coffee-table type of books.

    The prices are steep but unless a particular edition is mandatory for a class, then a lower-cost used older edition is just as good.
