CAN somebody explain me what electronic courses are about???

Question

I go to study electrical engineering and I want to know about electronic courses.What is about????what I will learn???is boring???

Answer 1

first you'll learn about resistance, voltage and current.
sorta like plumbing....pipes, pressure, and flow.
also about power and energy (related, but not EXACTLY the same).

then about alternating current, capacitors, inductors, and impedance.

next, semiconductors: diodes, transistors, scrs, triacs, diacs, and others.
also analog (linear) integrated circuits like op-amps.

then, Boolean algebra, logic circuits, and other basic digital building blocks.

then, microprocessors, input/output devices, buss controllers, and other computing building blocks.


boring? NO WAY!

you WILL work your butt off at times, just to keep up, but it's worth the effort. at times you won't understand why certain things are important, but later it all comes together like a giant jigsaw puzzle.

Answer 2

Im so sorry you picked this as a career field. I work in communications electronics, and I had to go thru a prep school so to say. You pretty much will learn every conceivable thought about electronics you ever had to include mathematics, in depth, who, what, why, when, where. I hope you have a BIG brain, and retain information very well. By the time yourre done youll look at a computer and know EXACTLY how it works. Brain dump any trivial and useless material, no matter how smart you think you are, youll neee the space. TRUST ME.

Answer 3

Well, I can't necessarily speak for all schools, but at my school the electronics course deals primarily with semi-conductor based circuit elements like diodes and transistors. If your school has the same cirriculum, you will learn how semiconductors work and the applications for diodes and transistors. As far as whether or not it is boring, I can't necessarily say. To each his own. Personally, I was bored out of my mind, but I'm not specializing in electronics, I prefer control systems.

Answer 4

It's all about how electrical current can be made to do all manner of useful things. What you'll learn will be how electrons flow, how they interact with (and generate) both electric and magnetic fields, and how these properties can be made to do useful 'stuff' (such as radios, TVs, cellphones, computers, etc.) As far as boring? It's only as boring as you want it to be.

You might also want to take a couple of basic English Grammer courses as well ☺

Um, electronics?
