Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good solid book(s) for self study of electronics design? I emphasize design because I recently finished an electronics course in college and have found that I am decent at solving book problems but horrible at designing circuits. I still have no...

hi all..can anyone give me some basic math book that would enable me to understand quantum physics and electronics(semiconductors,electromagnetic theory). Perhaps a good book that starts from vector basics would do fine i think. please guide me. thanks in advance.

So I'm currently in electronics engineering, however, I was planning on transferring to a school about 50 miles away so that I can switch to electrical engineering because my current school does not offer it. I asked my advisor and he said the difference between the two programs is the name...

I posted this thread in the Engineering forum, but haven't got any reply back yet. This topic is somewhat science-related, so I guess someone in this forum may give me some helps. Thanks.

Hi, I'm freshman in Electrical Engineering. I'm going to do a project on a major challenge in electrical engineering nowadays. I intend to discuss the limit of microelectronics at micro-scale and so the challenge is to go deeper into lower scale, i.e. nano and pico scale (pico-scale is quite too...

Hi all! Now from here, I'm going to do my engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication. But still I have the chance to change my discipline next year (as you all know). Do you think there is job opportunity in this field. Do you think there will be job for Computer Science and...

Hello gang. [I used the search but couldn't find much except for recommendations for Horowitz's Art of Electronics, so I apologize in advance if I missed a similar thread somewhere] I realized that my knowledge of electronics, circuits, and the like is appallingly bad for someone who claims...

A few questions about noise. I am doing a noise budget and I am not sure if everything is correct... 1/f flicker noise Resistors show this noise. Horowitz specifies microvolt per decade frequency per applied volt. This would give me a false reading on a four point measurement, at least...

I'm trying to figure out how to build a breadboard instrument using either push buttons or logic switches as they keys that will play each note. The issue that i am having is that I don't think finding all of the perfect resistor and capacitor combinations for each note is a good idea. So, i...

Hello I'm designing a box for 6 PCBs. It will fly on stratospheric balloon. Do you know a solution of mounting PCBs to box walls, which will provide strong and stable connection? I was thinking about slots in internal walls, but that can be not enough. I found interesting solution...

I've been reading (and a few people mentioned it as well) that electronics, software etc is moving to Asia. By moving I mean that you can hire a company there to do the job for you for less money because salaries there are lower. The reason I can think of is that electronics / software doesn't...

I am planning to do a project based on wireless data transfer.
