SUMMARY

The discussion centers on strategies for refreshing electrical engineering (EE) knowledge after a three-year hiatus from fundamental concepts. The participant, a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) graduate, seeks effective methods to regain proficiency in core EE topics in preparation for future career opportunities. Recommendations include revisiting personal notes, focusing on derivations, and utilizing online resources such as MIT's OpenCourseWare for structured learning. Engaging with specific books and problem sets is also suggested to reinforce understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Fundamental concepts of electrical engineering
  • Familiarity with derivations in EE topics
  • Access to online educational platforms like MIT OpenCourseWare
  • Basic problem-solving skills in electrical engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore MIT's OpenCourseWare for Electrical Engineering courses
  • Identify and read recommended EE textbooks for refreshment
  • Practice derivations and problem sets from previous coursework
  • Engage in online forums or study groups focused on electrical engineering topics
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, recent graduates in electrical engineering, and professionals seeking to refresh their core knowledge in preparation for career advancement or interviews.

I wrapped up my BSEE three years ago and have been working as a EE since then. However, the vast majority of my work has been geared toward test/manufacturing/embedded. As a result, I fear that a substantial amount of my fundamental EE knowledge has atrophied and I'm just plain rusty.

This isn't really an issue for my current position, but I'm starting to look ahead toward my next career move and figure that I'd be grilled in an interview setting. Other than re-reading every book I have and doing every problem set, what would you recommend I do to get back up to speed? Are there any particular books that are recommended for refreshing? Another possibility would be to view some online course material, such as MIT's video collection (http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/).

Anyway, any tips would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Going back over your notes is the best way to refresh your knowledge. I don't think you have to do a lot of problems, but make sure you can do the derivations in your notes.
