Programs Transition to EE master from physics degree

AI Thread Summary
Self-studying electrical engineering requires a strategic approach to selecting appropriate resources. The discussion highlights that electrical engineering covers diverse fields such as optics, power distribution, micro-fabrication, integrated circuit design, and control theory. Identifying specific interests within these areas can guide the choice of study materials. While practical labs and projects are typically part of formal education, self-learners should focus on comprehensive textbooks and resources that cover foundational concepts and advanced topics across various specializations. Keeping options open allows for a broader understanding of the discipline, which is essential for effective self-study.

Hello,

Since I have no time to take ee classes, I plan to self study it.

What are the suitable books I can refer to.

Thank you

Electrical engineering encompasses many fields - for example you can obtain an MS/EE in optics and lasers, or in power distribution systems, micro-fabrication, integrated circuit design, control theory, etc.

So what are your interests? This will determine the books - but the usual course of study includes practical labs and projects.
 
Optics/ laser, quantum electronics, solid state, mircofabrication/ nanotech

I'm keeping my option wide.

Thank you
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
