AI Thread Summary
Completing 300-level electrical engineering courses opens opportunities for self-study in specialized areas. Recommended books include "Designing Digital Filters" by Charles S. Williams and "High-Speed Digital Design" by Howard Johnson and Martin Graham, which are valuable for practical circuit design. Interest in semiconductor devices can be explored through "Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE." Engaging with probability courses tailored for electrical engineering is also suggested, as it can enhance future studies. Exploring PCB layout using tools like OrCAD is encouraged for hands-on experience.

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?

Designing Digital Filters, by Charles S. Williams is a fun and useful book.

Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE, edited by Antognetti and Massobrio is a very good book if you are interested in semiconductors.

High-Speed Digital Design, A Handbook of Black Magic, by Howard Johnson and Martin Graham is a very useful book if you are going to do much practical circuit deisign.

What areas of EE interest you the most? What kind of classes do you have coming up next year?
 
Have you taken any probability courses that is geared towards EE? Probability can be very useful down the line.
 
EE is a huge field. Do you have any particular interests? We could tailor our advice to those interests.

i recommend you to study the pcb layout using orcad ...i studied half the course it is so fun u can make pcb at ur house in 5 minutes using some stuff from radio shack and the ironing machine... try it
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
