I want to study electrical electronics but i don't know about it

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a student's desire to study Electrical Electronics (EE) but uncertainty about the path to take. Key recommendations include enrolling in an EE program and gaining hands-on experience by disassembling and troubleshooting electronic devices. The importance of understanding one's goals—whether to become an Electrical Engineer or an Electronics Technician—is emphasized. Additionally, the discussion highlights the need for foundational knowledge in math and physics to prepare for university-level EE studies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Electrical Engineering principles
  • Familiarity with electronics components and circuits
  • Knowledge of mathematics and physics relevant to engineering
  • Experience with hands-on electronics projects or repairs
NEXT STEPS
  • Research accredited Electrical Engineering programs in your area
  • Explore online resources for self-study in electronics fundamentals
  • Practice troubleshooting by disassembling old electronic devices
  • Join online forums or local clubs focused on electronics and engineering
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for aspiring Electrical Engineers, Electronics Technicians, and students interested in gaining practical knowledge in electronics. It provides guidance on educational pathways and hands-on experience necessary for success in the field.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Do you mean that you are about to head off to university to study EE, or that you want to self-study electronics? What is your end goal -- do you want to work as an EE or an Electronics Technician or just be knowledgeable in electronics as a hobby?

Are you still in high school (or whatever the equivalent is in your country), and you are wanting to be sure to prepare the best you can for heading off to university next year to study EE? Or have you graduated already and are starting university soon?

What math/physics/electronics classes have you had so far? What were your favorite classes?

Step 1: Enroll in an EE program.

...can you see how your questions are a little vague?
 
Start taking broken things apart and try to find the fault. Preferably start at age 13 or thereabout.

Not enough information about you to usefully advise. Big difference if you are ≈18 and decisions imminent (in which case information about studies/knowledge so far also useful) or 14 in which case general strategy more to the point. Also important where you are, Himalayas or New York? - and what possibilities do you have for moving, what is your range realistically? Finance will also come into it.

Can you still do that with today's devices?

To the OP:

1. How old are you?

2. Which country are you located? (it doesn't sound like you come from a Western country)

3. Are you currently a student? If so, what kind of student (elementary, secondary, university)?

Some of them, yes. Not cell phones of course, but along the lines of an old desktop PC or an audio amplifier or a table lamp or...

How about an abacus or a slide rule? :wink:
