Hi everyone,how is it going? I wanted to ask you if you know any pc software that would allow me to build electrical cuircuits and have all the values of voltages and currents in order to check if my analysis results are correct or not. Thanks For info,I don't need a professional software(I'm...

I've made a decision to attend school locally, so as to save some cash. I like the idea of the applied math degree, because I have a pretty big interest in math. But, I'm worried about the ability to find employement afterwards. Would going after an EE degree provide a better chance at...

I'm a high school senior at my school and I have decided to pursue a career in electrical engineering. I was wondering what kind of advice you guys would give me to guide me in my path of learning in how to be an electrical engineer.

Homework Statement I'm currently trying to find the total resistance of my resistors in my curcuit I have designed. Homework Equations I'm using the equation V = IR, where V = Potential difference in volts, I = Current in Amps and then there's R... It's a constant of sorts but I...

Hey, I'm currently in an intro to EE course, and our textbook is horrendous (Hambley's Electrical Engineering Principles and Applications). Does anyone have a suggestion on a better alternative that provides a lot of practice problems/answers?

I am right now going for computer engineering. After I get that in a few years I plan to go into electrical engineering or some other closely related field. I figure that computer and electronics are so closely related that this is a good idea? Coming from real engineers, is it?

Homework Statement & Homework Equations: The following is a homework/quiz problem that I've been given to complete for minimal marks. I understand fully that this forum is not a "hey, here's my assignments; please do them for me one". However, I fully intend to understand the principles...

I've graduated as Electrical Engineer in Athens, Greece (Athens polytechnic). I have relatives in U.S. They urge me to come and work in the US because i'll take more money (double the money i get in Greece). But some other people tell me that in the US it's true that you take more money, but it...

I am an undergraduate student and I believe that I will probably major in electrical engineering. So my question is should I take the time to learn x86 assembly? I already know how to program in C++ well enough, but I really haven't done much with asm. I would like to get a microcontroller and...

So I'm pretty well finished with all of my 300 level courses. Basically, I've got all the basics. I was wondering if you guys think there is anything that is not usually taught that I should teach myself. I've got some free time this summer. Any ideas?

hi...i don't know if like this topic exists here ...but i noticed that it is good to make a topic about websites about electrical engineering that seems great for projects or tutorials ... i can begin with [PLAIN]www.altair.org[/URL] (sorry actionintegral)

Hi! I am an electrical engineering undergraduate going into my 3rd yr of my university education. Currently thinking of whether to specialise or not. Any suggestions on why I should or shouldn't? Thanks!

I had to withdraw from this semester due to medical reasons and I would rather not repeat the two engineering classes I took - I feel that I can study what I missed and master it. My only option is to take a test my school would give me in those two classes that I couldn't complete and if I pass...

I am a junior in electrical engineering, and I'm at the point where I need to start choosing my technical electives (my focus courses). I took my first Electrodynamics course this semester. I friggen' loved the material. I thought it was VERY interesting although quite hard. I'm thinking about...

I need to design a voltage regulator circuit to provide a constant voltage of 5V to a load from a variable supply voltage. The load current carries from 0 to 100 mA and the source voltage varies from 8 to 10 V. You may assume that ideal Zener diodes are available. Resistors of any value can...
