The discussion centers around recommendations for books, topics, and activities for students entering Electrical Engineering (EE) or Computer Engineering (CmpE) programs. Participants share insights on how to prepare for university studies in these fields, focusing on foundational knowledge and practical experiences.
Participants generally agree on the value of "The Art of Electronics" as a resource, but there are differing views on its depth and the necessity of additional study to achieve a thorough understanding of electronics.
Some limitations are noted regarding the depth of knowledge provided by recommended resources, as well as the importance of practical experience in addition to theoretical study.
Students preparing to enter Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering programs, as well as those interested in enhancing their foundational knowledge and practical skills in these fields.
Bob Busby said:Hello all, I will be going to Uni soon as either an EE or a CmpE (probably CmpE). I appeal to your experienced selfs and ask if you could recommend some books/topics/activities that you think I should read/know/do or that you wish you had had before you started off. I know the physics and basic electronics and programming but I am looking to get an edge. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
KingNothing said:The book carlgrace suggested is awesome. I used it as a supplement to my learning throughout my EE undergrad.
