What Are the Best Ways to Engage in Real-Life Electronics Projects in Europe?

[electronic engineer]

Hello,

I'm just open to new ideas about Electronics. For some reason or another, I loved this community. I want to participate in discussions about Electronics but I want something constructive, new ideas. I'm located in Europe so it would also nice to meet with other members here and share thoughts. We can create projects or just solve homeworks. Sometimes I read books in Electronics but I want something real.

In anyway, I would like to hear your opinions.

Thank you.

Hi, electronic engineer, I live in Europe, but I'm afraid I am not the profile you are looking for: I only have basic theoretical knowledge about this issue; additionally, I am now focused in Calculus.
Greetings, best wishes!

What is your background so far? Have you built any electronics projects? If you are in school, does the school have any clubs or societies that might have the people in them that you'd like to meet and have discussions with?

Any particular branches of electronics you are particularly interested in?

(My main interests are analogue electronics, semiconductors and audio electronics, but currently I am not doing anything besides rewiring and modding the electronics of guitars and soldering simple audio cables ).

I just have Electronics Engineering diploma. Currenly I'm not involved in any school, actually I'm not from here. I live in Europe but I'm not participating in scientific activities, I'm just working whatever. That's why I decided to write here, perhaps to meet friends and discuss about Electronics.

I just have Electronics Engineering diploma.

Is that a 2-year degree or a 4-year degree? What are your favorite areas of electronics so far? What projects have you built so far? Have you written any software (like for controlling an Arduino, for example)?

I'm interested in analogue electronics in general.

There is a book I liked named:

Ten Essential Skills for Electrical Engineers by Barry L. Dorr.

I've been reading it, somehow it's quite comprehensive and includes almost everything in clever way. I would be glad to have someone discuss with me about solving problems in each chapter, they are somehow challenging. Or to find someway to have something in common with people as team maybe.

We have a long thread here about one feature in the book "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill. You might enjoy reading through it and seeing how many of the "bad circuit" problems you can figure out...
