Thank you I will certainly heed your advice and continue to work to improve.
To note, I am not asking for help all the time, it is usually a method of last resort. However, I do still feel that my "successes" are more of a fluke rather than rock solid understanding of the solutions to my...
I'll try to give an analogy for getting a phd. I don't have one, but I have a few friends who are going for one, and one guy who completed it at a top school. From talking with them, this is what I concluded:
1. Your organizational and project management skills are important, but at the end of...
Thank you, I will keep trying hard. I've gotten things done and have had good performance reviews so far but I feel much of it has been a fluke because I lucked out as the deadline approached and somehow figured things out. But it's more so the constant feeling of pressure and impending...
I understand my boss completely and I am not faulting him. At the end, it is his interest to get things done, and as quickly as possible. My point is that, well, I don't think I'm completely incapable, I did graduate from a reputable school and have a good academic background (or so I think)...
I haven't read any books on the subject but, and excuse my ignorance if I am incorrect, I imagine the gist of them goes as follows:
1. Break down the larger problem into smaller, more manageable parts.
2. Break down these manageable parts into known and unknown categories. For the knowns, use...
I'll bow out of this thread as I seem to be in the minority of my thinking then. It's not that I don't want to do it, I've tried and been unsuccessful, hence my posting. Perhaps you're more talented than me and haven't been in this situation, but I can assure you that simply "trying" is not...
I understand that point, but to give the analogy for school, if I knew I had two weeks to finish something, it was well understood by the professors that two weeks was a reasonable amount of time, as this was a task that was done before with well-defined parameters.
Currently, I would not say I...
Understood, and I agree it is a valuable skill. But how can you estimate a task that hasn't been done before?
If I overestimate, I'm told the project doesn't have enough hours. If under, then there is criticism and pressure to meet the deadline.
At the second company, I did get mentoring from my manager and another senior engineer that was in our group. However, then my manager kept on getting sucked into more and more meetings and had less time for technical work, and the other guy was replaced with one who really had a nasty...
Hi everyone,
I hope I can articulate what I'm thinking, as I'm unsure if this is specifically an "engineering job" problem or a job in general problem.
I graduated with a BSEE, got an MS right after, and have worked in two companies so far. I had a pretty good gpa for both, over 3.6, so I...
Oh I am sorry of course, I meant npn and pnp (it was late at night and I was quite tired).
Ah ok, so the second link is close enough in design to provide analysis as to what is going on in the first, even though there are additional caps in parallel at the collector end in the beginning...
Hi everyone, I am trying to understand amplifiers better and had one here that I would like to build and test:
http://www.ke3ij.com/amp.htm
How would this amplifier be classified as? I was thinking class AB, as it has two common emitter gain stages in the beginning which serve as a pre-amp like...
