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
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
