Hi, I'm a junior year electrical engineering student with communication major. Within 3 or 4 months i'll have to select a research topic. Can anyone help me with some latest topics? It is bad luck for me, I'm not adroit with circuits.:mad: Actually, I'm very much interested in physics and from my freshman year i had started to study some quantum physics, relativity and electromagnetics. Though I hadn't made much progress :shy:. I'd love to work on theoritical topics.
Thanks :smile:
