Day in the life of a Junior Electronics Engineer in London - what I do day to day 

I am so happy to see you get the same kind of excitement from your internship. I feel like we are super lucky in a sense that we are working in R&D as there is so much fun and creativity in designing hardware/electronics rather than us being stuck doing robot work like most internship end up as... Also thanks for the support Irfan!

Its a pleasure bro!!

Hi my name is Edward Ukeh I'm a student of electrical electronic engineering I need help to study more

​@@irfanarefin1265bro tell me ECE is difficult or not

@@targetacademykannada8829 academically or theoretically, sometimes it sucks haha, as long as you can't relate anything with practical scenario. But once you hop into that and start exploring more, it'll eventually start get more and more interesting for sure.

All I have to say is that you made a good choice :DDD.

Being a computer engineer, I can answer your first question. If you're interested in hardware, go for electrical or electronics engineering. Software is cake once you truly understand hardware

Damn, isn’t that illegal? 👀

"The Art of Electronics" the 3rd edition is a really amazing book if you want to learn about electronics.

First of all, whoever shouted at you is an asshole, if it's a lecturer then he is a really bad teacher as you should never make a person feel dumb when asking questions, I bet there were other students who were just as confused as you but didn't have the courage to ask so don't ever feel dumb when asking questions so never stop asking questions as it is super crucial to your learning and understanding.

It shows the maximum voltage /current the device can stand at the specified location.

Ece in the UK would be considered as electronics and computer eng. communications is pretty much integrated in to any electrical engineering course u do

Both careers are great and in demand. If you are interested in electronics then go for that. Personally I would say electronics is a bit more niche so only choose it if ur actually interested in it. Cybers more broad and is also great.

Definitely agree with both careers are great and in demand as well as choosing a career that you are more interested in. However, I have to disagree on the fact that electronics is a bit more niche, in my personal opinion electronics is probably the most broad subject there IS! Unless you specialise into a specific niche like FPGA, embedded or RF and etc. With an electronics degree you can literally be in any industry.

Electrical engineering and learn how to code! We need more builders for earth and space industry

I might be bias here but I would say Electronics engineering as it’s such a vast field with many jobs opportunities that is not under the title “electronics” but it’s still technically speaking part of it, giving you few examples like hardware, embedded, RF, FPGA and etc. However, I’m not too knowledgeable about civil though so don’t just take my word for it and also do some digging yourself.

The next phase is actually to create more electronic devices that can detect pollution and also to remove actual pollution as well. At the moment... There isn't that kind of set up at the moment. So easy to jump onto the exact same band wagon. But.. you kind of create a niche situation then.... Robots should be able to be used to crush old materials and to carry them to factories. And then refine back into a source of raw materials. Rejuvenate back the earth.

tbh with you, I had the same struggles, there are three things you could do, 1st is brute forcing it where you just have to study twice or thrice as hard, 2nd do a project that you're really passionate about that incorporate a little bit of coding and 3rd is study with a friend who is really good at coding where they can help and you can help them back with other subjects.

@@ThomasDo haha sadly I cant do your third tip due to this online learning.Since I never meet yet my friends physically.Yeah I try to work out on other tips.thanks for the advice.

Starting out with using a microcontroller is a good idea like using an Arduino, there are ton of projects online. Or doing some Raspberry Pi projects. As for soldering, I believe you can buy a soldering kit projects where everything is already built but u just have to assemble and solder them together. After you’ve learnt the basic signal protocols through various projects you can go and start designing your own PCB hardware if you want. Further designing and program your own microcontroller. Hardware is a broad term, the things I just mentioned is mainly embedded hardware but you can also be playing with FPGA or designing a simple IC chip. RU-vid tutorials are your best teacher, go search up some projects.

There is really no easy guide to learning the subject, you just have to make learning easier for you like make a friend group to study together and help each other or find an alternative book for you to get a different perspective of the theory or concepts that you are learning but the best way to gain knowledge is through doing personal projects.

Many companies these days are actively on the lookout for diverse talent in engineering, just like this one I used to work for. I remember during my time there, I heard they hired a fantastic female engineer in Spain when she was only in her second year of university. They offered her a full-time job that required her to move from Spain to the UK, and she decided to seize that opportunity rather than completing her degree. I am telling this story to illustrate that your gender shouldn't hold you back from pursuing a career in engineering. The world is evolving, and it needs unique individuals like you. So, please don't get discouraged by any doubts you might have. Go for it with all your heart, and I wish you the very best of luck on this exciting journey! (P.S When I left they also hired another female mechanical engineer!)

You only need Calculus, Algebra, and a bit of complex analysis because...understanding things like impedance and admittance will need that knowledge. Actually Maths is only intense when it comes to circuit network analysis. Don't chicken. Pursue your passion.

This June 2024 I will graduating in ECE and I would say ECE is the toughest sub because the syllabus is so diverse like it covers basic electronics(analog and digital) , communication(digital and analog) ,vlsi,embedded systems,some RF and antenna theory ,etc. So literally u will have 3-4 subjects for each of these streams . With so much options you will have issues choosing which fits you right. For me it was at the end of 6th sem around my placement period I realised all my electives and strong subjects were in VLSI. It was too late. Most importantly learn some basic software stuff like DSA and OOPS concepts and solve few problems on leetcode which I will be starting now😂😂. This helps in both software and also embedded software role. I suggest u to take ECE only if u could handle pressure and be a self learner. Looking at my friend's getting placed in software companies for 30-35 lpa and me still planning to do mtech or MS and then probably land a job. So it's a long path sometimes in ECE due to the advancements in tech and the outdated syllabus which teaches too much theory . If you have interest in tech in general not specific to electronics I would suggest you to take up computer science and also choose a stream within CS which suits your skills amd goals. This is what I would suggest my younger brother in such a situation.

It really varies uni to uni, the best way to see is go to the uni website and see their course structure, they will give the whole overview of the course from a to z.

@@ThomasDo Ok thnx for Answering

It really depends on what job you are applying for but the no. 1 skill to have is being able to create a multi-layer PCB using software like Altium, Eagle, Veecad. Further skills like knowing how to code in C for embedded system, learning how to use Linux and code in Python for general testing. And Finally, having a tune mindset for problem solving which comes with experience from diagnosing issues with hardware.

@@ThomasDo Thank you so much.

Yeah, python is really useful in terms of automating test or general testing of hardware but it has no use in terms of development of the hardware itself which would be mainly written in C.

@@ThomasDo is it fine if I know c++ and not c Why do we use c and not c++ , c++ has more libraries and advatages

@@vasudashenoy5199 From my limited understanding, the libraries and "advantages" that you have for C++ are really useful for high level development. However, it can become a disadvantage and cause problems when working in embedded system for two main reason I can think of. Most of the libraries becomes useless and waste of space relying on too many object oriented methods cause of it being sometimes so hardware oriented and low-level that you don't need it. Second, C gives you much more control where it forces you to think about how your code is interacting with the hardware more closely. As to the question if it's fine, I believe that it's fine but if you want to get into firmware or embedded engineering then preferably knowing C would be better as it is more used in those fields.

@@ThomasDo ok thanks

Python is classified as the 4th generation programming language... But I don't know if this classification was also kind of added towards the number of resistors on a board as well... Or the type of boards. Would be interested if the OP has any inputs here.

Hi ..me too planing to do my masters in ECE in uk..did u start ur process..my frnd is from south amphton only

@@deepthideepu468 I have got my conditional offer letter... For sept 24

Sadly no, the reality is that you can go from EE to CS but you cannot go from CS to EE

@@ThomasDo Actually, it is possible. I did it myself. I went from BSCS to MSEE. If you put in the work you can do anything you want.

@@heypaisan9384 Oh that's really interesting. Does that mean you have Bachelor in CS and Master in EE though?

@@ThomasDo Yes, exactly. I started my career working as a software engineer in IT (many years ago) doing database and web stuff. About 5 years in I decided I wanted to get into embedded systems so I went back to school for EE so I could get the necessary background. For people wanting to get into this field I would recommend doing Computer Engineering.

​@@heypaisan9384 What a journey! Referring back on to my answer previously was that you cannot break into the EE industry with a CS degree, however with an EE degree you can easily break into the CS field. Definitely agree on people doing computer engineering if people are interested in embedded, however, in the UK the equivalent computer engineering degree is electronics, just letting people know.

I study EEE and personally I think it's great. The reason being is that it is the most versatile degree there is. Back then I didn't really know what I wanted to do in the future yet so it gave me the most options to choose and explore from.

@@ThomasDo thank you so much for answering my question , one last question please , if you could go back in time , would you choose another study field like computer science , or you will stick to you decision and remain in EEE ? i'd really appreciate you will answer me Thank you .

​@@NighBex_69 I would have chosen Electronics Engineering instead as I found out after working, how much more fun and enjoyable it is than when I was studying Electronics which was hard and not fun at all. At the present moment, I want to become a good and competent Hardware/Electronics Engineer and so studying half the modules in Electrical would be less use to me now that I want to pursue this career path.

@@ThomasDo thank you so much

I doubt a student would know the difference between electrical and electronics. The video pretty much sums up the competence some seem accepted with is far from correct for anyone that knows the basics even if the basics. That is why God invented the wirer😁

Hahah me too, I don’t like fish either but trust me this dish hits different 🤧

@@ThomasDo dish looked bad good
