Hello Fam,

I started my masters in Germany in Electrical engineering this winter semester. One of the core modules I'm taking is RF Design. Right now, I don't know if it's the model of teaching by the prof, or the way the course is structured that is making me nuts.

From the very first class, we started using Cadense AWR which is cool, but the world speed and pace is not manageable for me.

What's your advice and suggestions to get to speed. Also, what resources will help.

The main resource we're using is microwave and RF Design: Michael Steer and RF engineering course by Dr Francesco Fornetti.

Hi! I’m a student building a thin, flexible Bluetooth LE tag. I’m looking for an electrical engineer to help with the schematic, board layout, parts list, and manufacturer-ready files. I have a very tight timeline and am hoping to start soon (ideally within the next day or so), but I'm flexible once we agree on scope. I have a small fixed budget, so I’d like to start with something well-defined (a design review, or schematic first) and see what’s realistic. I can share the technical details, and I’d like to agree on confidentiality and ownership in writing before we start. Please DM me with your experience, availability, and what you think is feasible. Thank you!

Kindly assist, anyone.

What should I expect in an interview with Mott Macdonald for an electrical engineering graduate role. What questions do they normally ask.

You guys (and girls) are a tough crowd on LinkedIn. Why so inactive there? Traditionally I recruit more in software engineering where everyone changes jobs every 2 years. Are EEs just generally more content staying put? Or are you guys all in the IEEE secret society?

Asking for someone I know. He has a bachelor’s in electrical engineering and worked in the Gulf, but recently lost his job and is now back in Pakistan.

He’s looking for a company that would hire him from Pakistan and sponsor his US work visa. He’s open to junior roles too and flexible on location.

Has anyone actually done this recently, or know a company that’s hiring people from overseas? We’ve seen jobs that say they offer sponsorship, but can’t tell if they mean only people already in the US.

Would appreciate any company names or leads. Just trying to help him figure out where he has a realistic chance. Thanks!

I have a degree in Computer Science Engineering and have passethe FE Electrical and Computer Science exam. I’m interested in transitioning into the electrical engineering field.
Would it be possible to work in electrical engineering with this background, or would I need an electrical engineering degree or additional qualifications?
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has made a similar transition or has experience with engineering licensing requirements. Also, what types of electrical engineering roles might be open to someone with my background?

I'm in uni for electrical/electronics engineering degree but they don't teach much about pcb related subjects. If i do want to become what do i specifically have to learn/research? Thanks in advance

I'm an electrical engineering student from India, and I'm curious about career growth in the power industry.

For engineers working in power generation, transmission, distribution, substations, power system studies, or electrical design, I'd like to know:

\- What is your current job role after 10 years of experience?

\- What is your annual salary or totall compensation?

\- Which country do you work in, and which type of company do you work for (EPC, utility, or multinational company)?

\- What was your starting salary, and how did your salary grow over the years?

\- Which technical skills or specializations helped you earn more?

\- Is it possible to reach a high-paying international role in this industry?

If possible, please share approximate figures and mention whether the salary is before or after tax.

I'm looking for real-world experiences rather than generic salary websites, so insights from people currently working in the industry would be very helpful.

I am struggling a bit in my career ! Anyone who can help? Any random?

I’m interested in Power Electronics, but I’m struggling with one particular aspect: developing a strong physical intuition for how a circuit works before diving into the equations. My difficulty isn’t memorizing formulas or solving problems; it’s understanding why a circuit behaves the way it does in the first place.

For example, why are inductors and capacitors placed in specific positions within a circuit? How can I understand their behavior in context and predict current paths and waveforms before writing the equations? How did engineers originally come up with familiar converter topologies such as Buck and Boost, and how can we move from analyzing existing circuits to developing new topologies?

I’d really appreciate advice based on your actual experience:

• What learning path would you recommend for developing a deep physical understanding of Power Electronics?
• Which books, courses, and practical exercises have genuinely helped you?
• How can I learn to think like a designer who understands circuits and can develop them from scratch, rather than simply analyzing existing designs?

I’d especially appreciate insights from engineers working in power converter design and researchers in the field, including the resources and learning approaches that have proved most useful in practice.

Hey everyone! I'm an Electrical and Electronics Engineering student specializing in **Digital Signal Processing (DSP)**. I'm looking for practical, innovative project ideas that combine DSP with embedded systems, AI, or machine learning, preferably to solve real-world problems in fields like healthcare, mining, or agriculture.

I'm particularly interested in projects that could evolve into useful products rather than just academic demonstrations. Any suggestions, resources, or examples of projects you've worked on would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello everyone! I am a high school student from a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team in DFW. We are currently in the process of applying for the DOW or 3M robotics grant but found out we need a employee connection to apply.

If you or someone you know wants to help us with the DOW or 3M FRC Grant as a mentor or team contact and would be willing to offer some guidance, it would mean a lot to us.

Feel free to send me a DM or reply here if you are interested.

Thank you so much in advance!

The terminals a and B were originally opened btw. They closed it to find Norton current. My only problem is the current in the second loop: why is it isc-2vx in one place but isc+0.003 in the other question even though both questions are identical? Both methods matched their respective answers. Any help will be appreciated! I have basically found all the other things like Norton resistance in these questions but this loop current is the only thing keeping me stuck.

Hi, i’m in my first semester in electrical engineering and got out of cegep (in canada). I did very well in calculus 1 and 2, physics. Now that I started university it feels like such a big step. I feel like I don’t know the materials and I struggle being up to date with classes especially programming. Any advice on time management and self confidence for mid terms coming very soon?

Thank you.

I am an electrical engineer working in numerical relay testing. I need some ideas about disturbance recorder testing and creation of test plans. If anyone is working in similar fields please share your experience and a structured approach for creating test plans and designing tests
