I´m mechanical engineer, some years ago I needed to know RF, so I think: "I have the base, so I go directly to study RF"... A Big mistake... I was more lost than a blind in a firefight.
Funny. I was forced to learn RF and the signal flow my first year in the Marine corps and im pretty good at it. Most of what you said leading to that i have never learned.. lol
Your marine corp knowledge in RF and Signals wouldn't even be close to the rigor and depth of one good University course. One has to take at least 6 university courses specializing in systems & signals, Microwave engineering and advanced math in addition to 30 other very difficult courses just to get an electrical engineering degree.
@@justingreen8006 It is nearly impossible to explain this concept to someone that really has no idea how much knowledge is required to get a BSEE. I could never get into the field because I graduated in the tech bubble burst, with my BSEE emphasizing chip design. Worst timing ever! So I do predictive modeling in the insurance industry. I built a complex data analysis spreadsheet and trained a new coworker how to use it. This person had an extreme superiority complex, mainly because she had an MBA on top of her BA degree, and I only had a BSEE. After she learned how to use my spreadsheet, she started telling everyone in the company that she was better at math than me. I was like "Hey beyatch! it is a far cry from USING a spreadsheet to creating a ridiculously complex spreadsheet". And this kind of work doesn't even scratch the surface of what an electrical engineer's knowledge base contains.
Loved this video! Thank you so much. I have finished the so called core classes without much difficulty and about to start my 4th semester (there are only 6 semesters in our program ), but my problem lies mainly in the combination of maths\physics and engineering. I guess I need to learn how to apply the basics to different scenarios? And you are right, it is difficult to choose one branch of so many to learn in depth. I want to work after I finish bachelor but I don't know exactly what job I should take. What we have learnt in bachelor are so general, that I feel I can't do anything...
That’s how I felt too! I felt like I didn’t know anything after a bachelors degree. I think employers understand that and just expect someone who is willing to learn on the job. As long as you’re willing to learn as you go, you’ll be fine. Don’t worry about not knowing enough.
The initial general classes are not for different fields as much as it is supposed to be further general college education i.e. beyond elementary, junior and high schooling; it seems in some days, school came secondary to helping out in farming as primary survival took priority.
Excellent video. Lol, no love for controls and signal processing? The math branch in the video could've been further expended into these two. Also semi-conductors? The last one I guess us technically electronics. Though semi-conductors deals with more micro-stuff.
I took a basic electronics class, and we went over digital, analog, basic coding, gates, etc. in a single semester. Like idk why you would have separate classes for them or why you would learn the math part first. If you just have some Arduinos you can really learn these concepts well without having to go into all that math, then when you learn the math part it will make more sense because you can relate the abstract rules you're learning to phenomena you experienced in a concrete way earlier.
You need a fundamental understanding of Mathematics to understand some deeper concepts. EE goes way beyond the Arduino, think about how your cellphone communicates...I don't know how I would even graps the conceps without a good understanding of Calculus.
Notice you said basic. All of these concepts have great complexity and need multiple focused courses before someone can do a true design by themselves without having their hand held.
I took a course about instruments and measurement, it included many many concepts, circuits analysis and design, electronic circuits and devices, ADC DAC, electromechanical stuff, signals, semiconductors, optoelectronics, filters design,..... etc. You need to have a strong background in all of these concepts, not just in this course, but in general all of the elective courses, after all this is what engineering is about, using your basic knowledge to developing new inventions and solve life problems.
I dropped out in the middle of math and physics too... but not because it was hard or I didn't like it... the passion and learning continues to this day some 13 years later... I just dropped out because I refuse to take a loan, and I ran out of education funding and Pell only goes so far. So I continue learning on my own than. I never wanted a piece of paper, I just wanted knowledge anyway. Although a career to replace this bum job would be nice... awe well... c'est la vie I guess.
For the record, this is more electronic engineering than electrical. This distinction seems to be emphasised more/less from place to place. There is a large overlap between courses, which obviously will depend on your university/college. For instance, RF electronics is definitely an electronic module, not an electrical module. An equivalently specialised electrical module would be power systems operation or power system dynamics.
Okay, I started with an analog IC design focus but now I am more interested in RF technology. But I haven't done DSP. Any advice for me? Also, can you make a video on some of the basic training an electrical should take outside the class? Thanks in advance.
u concentrated more on Electronics. machines, machine design, Control systems,Special machines and linear machines, Drives etc. but nice video sir, subscribed to your channel. expecting much more
It’s good that you have pointed out IoT and 5G. How about Artificial Intelligence? Is there a good relation between Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering and AI?
I started at Pre-Calc and Trig my first semester of Spring ‘21. I have taken 13-15 credits per semester and 3-6 during the summer. Im betting I’ll graduate in 2 more semester Spring or Fall of 2025 because schools only offer some classes once a year.
Can you make a video on "how much of what you learn in school is used in the real world such as the job you get after graduating." Thanks in advanced !
See the problem with that question is that it's really going to depend on what job you get. There's a lot of diversity in the workforce. People I've chatted to about this say they use approx 60% of what they learnt but what that 60% is differs between them (if that makes sense). What they've also said is that your degree will simply act as a foundation for the knowledge you'll have to learn in your career as you're going to have to become an expert in the specifics of your job. (Eg Clearly an engineer who's worked in power electronics for 10+ years is going to know significantly more than what you learnt at uni)
Can you please do a map of materials engineering. I'm interested in what each class name teaches. I have the list of classes from RPI and starting as a freshman in 2023. Thanks
Is it possible for a computer technician/electronic technician with 5 years of experience with a bachelors degree in electrical/computer engineering to become an full engineer like for companys such as microsoft, apple, or google?
It'll be a rel uphill battle because with 5 years experience as a technician, any company will see you as someone who's made their decision with low level technical concept application and not someone who has the skills to do high level engineering work. Engineering firms are much more likely to hire someone directly from school, or someone who has already been in an 'equal' job for many years.
General education classes are not necessary on the university level and are a waste of money and time. An individual receives such well-rounding classes in high school. Unlike universities in India, American universities do not have enough laboratory, hands-on training classes. A 6-credit science course only has, in addition to lecture, three hours of lab a week. I was graduated from undergraduate school without the hands-on training necessary to keep a job in chemistry or electronics. I now own a sole proprietorship job repairing consumer electronics that cannot even pay for the advertising that I have to do. I am 51 years old with a Master of Science degree in biology and a Technical diploma in electronics and courses in EE and power engineering and I can not hold a job in electronics because I do not have sufficient skill, such as with that disgusting SMD soldering. My universities should have, but did not, given me the necessary hands-on lab training with their fancy, fully-stocked labs. Frank Frank Reiser Video/Audio Service

Yes that’s true...the definition of Electrical Engineering varies by your university.
Okay, I started with an analog IC design focus but now I am more interested in RF technology. But I haven't done DSP. Any advice for me?
Also, can you make a video on some of the basic training an electrical should take outside the class? Thanks in advance.
I wish I would watch it before finishing my engineering graduation
thanks dude. this cleared up some questions for me.
This makes me happy that I am from Germany and don't have to pay thousands for GenEd classes
In California, Community college is free. (Where you take GenEd classes)
Great explanation, Thank you!!
Can you do a video ranking all the branches of electrical engineering in terms of difficulty and failure rate ?
Thank you so much such simple yet extremely beautiful explanation 🥺❤❤❤love from India 🇮🇳🧡
4:33 These fields will focus on deeper topics such as reflections and penis matching...
Lol
Thank you so much I was lost before I watched this video
It is very amazing, Thanks a lot.
I'm graduating this December 2018, I regret it but it's worth it lol.
You regret electrical engineering?
u concentrated more on Electronics. machines, machine design, Control systems,Special machines and linear machines, Drives etc.
but nice video sir, subscribed to your channel.
expecting much more
All of this in 4 years 😰. May the Lord have mercy on our poor unfortunate souls
I have just graduated with a 1st class this summer... doing my masters..... so yeah worth it
Great video!!!! Road map.. thanks!!!
Really interesting video
Brilliant video
It’s good that you have pointed out IoT and 5G. How about Artificial Intelligence? Is there a good relation between Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering and AI?
Thank god that there's more math and physics than chemistry! I'd die if chem is the focus of EE
Certain fields of EE have more chemistry!
Thank you for this informative video 🥰
How many years do i need to learn to learn all this
I started at Pre-Calc and Trig my first semester of Spring ‘21. I have taken 13-15 credits per semester and 3-6 during the summer. Im betting I’ll graduate in 2 more semester Spring or Fall of 2025 because schools only offer some classes once a year.
I literally laughing alot while watching it. Realising how i wasted in time in unknown education😁😂
Nice overview.
thanks legend that knows alot, youve helped me
Thank you for de help.
More precise one please next time
Really a great video ! Very informative.
This video is perfect
4:35 uhh what matching? lol
Penis matching?
I think he meant to say Impedance matching lol
LOL, as soon as I hit this point I came down here to see if anyone heard what I heard.
I had to rewind it multiple times to reassure
@@davidvalle3068 thanks for clarifying. I can now finish my degree.
Can you make one for mechanical?
Can you make a video on "how much of what you learn in school is used in the real world such as the job you get after graduating." Thanks in advanced !
Great Idea!!
See the problem with that question is that it's really going to depend on what job you get. There's a lot of diversity in the workforce. People I've chatted to about this say they use approx 60% of what they learnt but what that 60% is differs between them (if that makes sense). What they've also said is that your degree will simply act as a foundation for the knowledge you'll have to learn in your career as you're going to have to become an expert in the specifics of your job. (Eg Clearly an engineer who's worked in power electronics for 10+ years is going to know significantly more than what you learnt at uni)
Where is Control systems, Automation, Digital Control Systems, Robotics, PLC Programming???
He left Intrumentation technology. PLCs and Control Systems Engineering
Thanks for ur valuable info
Can you please do a map of materials engineering. I'm interested in what each class name teaches. I have the list of classes from RPI and starting as a freshman in 2023. Thanks
very useful! thanks bro
Awsome! I love my major, so many possibilities
Yes! I had no idea how broad the field was!
Hey man thanks so much for this video.. can you make another video that delves deep into physics degree as well? Thanks.
Sorry! Don’t know enough about physics degrees to make it.
@@RelearnMath do you have physics proff friends?
great bro I'm working on all
watchin this video as a biomedical engineering student, and noticed that almost half of the topics are same
Very helpful.
Would be great if you make a topic on electronics.😄
Wow, I congratulate you on this beautiful vid sir, well done! (minus the background music lol)
how the heck my mexican uncles that cant read , or do math know how to mess with electric stuff does it just come natural to some people
What if im interested in computer/ electronic hardware what subject does it fall into for Electrical Engineering? Thank you so much.
My favorite (control systems) didn’t get the attention it deserved 😢
good video!!
Can you please tell me, in which college/university did you apply to?
Will be making a short video on where I attended Engineering School soon!
RelearnMath Thank you :)
Don't you need some optics as well?
Aaaaaah......thermodynamics....a subject from the 7th circle of HELL. What a nightmare it was for me.
Controls engineer is also a part of Electrical Engineering
Is it possible for a computer technician/electronic technician with 5 years of experience with a bachelors degree in electrical/computer engineering to become an full engineer like for companys such as microsoft, apple, or google?
Yes, I don't see why not.
It'll be a rel uphill battle because with 5 years experience as a technician, any company will see you as someone who's made their decision with low level technical concept application and not someone who has the skills to do high level engineering work. Engineering firms are much more likely to hire someone directly from school, or someone who has already been in an 'equal' job for many years.
General education classes are not necessary on the university level and are a waste of money and time. An individual receives such well-rounding classes in high school. Unlike universities in India, American universities do not have enough laboratory, hands-on training classes. A 6-credit science course only has, in addition to lecture, three hours of lab a week. I was graduated from undergraduate school without the hands-on training necessary to keep a job in chemistry or electronics. I now own a sole proprietorship job repairing consumer electronics that cannot even pay for the advertising that I have to do. I am 51 years old with a Master of Science degree in biology and a Technical diploma in electronics and courses in EE and power engineering and I can not hold a job in electronics because I do not have sufficient skill, such as with that disgusting SMD soldering. My universities should have, but did not, given me the necessary hands-on lab training with their fancy, fully-stocked labs.
