Can Anyone Who Is Good At Electronic Engineering Help Me With This Question

How can anyone become a perfect electronics engineer? What are the things they should learn?

Electronics is a relation between input and output.  Electronics engineering is implementing y = f(x) using electronics components. It is indirectly a problem solving method. For example if you like to travel from place x to place y, you can easily go. But if I asked to you travel within 1 minute, but the distance is 100 kms. Then you need to work on this problem. You can find an expensive solution. But if asked you to design a cheapest method then you need to think a lot and work hard. That is  exactly an Electronics Engineers job. Initial days, the expectation was low. But now a days the expectation is high. That is the reason you will not become a perfect Electronics Engineer. Also Electronics had 3 branches.                  1. Fixed Circuits  (Hardware)              2. Configurable Circuits (VLSI)              3. Programmable Circuits (Embedded).       Few years back an Electronics engineer knew all these things. But during the last few years, each branch of electronics has grown big. It is very difficult for an Electronics engineer to master all these three things.       So I think it is very difficult to become a perfect Electronics Engineer today.           Once can become a perfect Hardware Engineer/                                                         VLSI Engineer/                                                          Embedded Engineer

How can I become a good electronic engineer?

An electronic engineer might face two problems in general, to solve a problem, to design a system.Problem solving is easy, you can try all the tricks, hit and trials and everything, but you cannot do this in design process.In order to design any system, you have to be aware of underlying concepts, theories, trade offs, limitations, etc. To know all this, you have to get your basics correct.Start with laying out a very strong foundation. Start with basic electrical, network theory. Solve as many problems as you can and keep solving when you arrive at a stage where you look at a circuit and it instantly hits you how to proceed, no hit and trials. For this, I suggest the book Electric Circuits by Alexander Sadiku.When you are done with this, you have to start with PN junction devices like diode, BJT and MOSFETs. Here, things are going to be complicated, so you have to be regular in order to achieve goals in stipulated time or else you will easily overshoot and then loose interest. For this step I suggest the book Microelectronics by Sedra and Smith.After this, you have to do a study of Operational Amplifier. This is considerably easy, really interesting and very application oriented. This can be studied from Sedra and Smith as well.After you have completed all the above, you are ready to be an electronic design engineer. Note, I have said “ready to be” and not “ already are” an electronic engineer.Invest some 1000 rupees and buy breadboard, wires, resistance box, capacitance box, multimeter, some LEDs and start doing some basic experiments. Start with verifying Ohm's law and go on to implement whatever you are studying in theory. You will start noticing how theory and practical differ and by how very much.Also, start working on anyone of softwares like Pspice, Ltspice, TINA, Multisim. Make a habit go work on thses software for atleast an hour everyday. Make a circuit, simulate it, run it, see the results. Go back and change some components, reverse the diodes, etc, run it again and observe the difference the change created. Now work on how and why this change happened.All this is a basic layout for becoming a good designer or atleast start becoming one, but once you start you will have your own way. Everyone has.Happy designing!

How can I become a great electronics engineer after graduation?

Try to start working with smarter people than you and challenge yourself constantly.  Things that have either worked for me,  or I've found myself lacking at:Learn to troubleshoot and repair electronic devices.  Even if it's old tvs, it helps.  Learn your way with PLC and Microcontrollers. This is expected from you. Be good with computers,  if possible learn how to program,  even if that means html. Read and stay updated with technology.  Every now and then revise your old college subjects,  just I'm case.  Even if it's just to keep yourself from "stupidizing" from inactivity.  Become dexterous at network-related matters,  such as Cisco. I've seen people build entire careers from just this.  Plus,  people kind of expect you to know this stuff.  Be a self-learner,  and do a lot of research. Ask a lot of questions.  Try to be around people who know a lot,  even if that means working for free. You'll become a real engineer by working,  and working means seeing and learning from more experienced guys than you.  This is where you'll become an expert at whatever it is you'll choose to work at.

Is it possible to become a good electronic engineer?

When I had some algebra and basic calculus understanding years ago, I tried to read Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. I got to about page 8 and that's about it for the math part. I have a excellent grasp of the language, but that didn't help much understanding how he derived it. Point is, after a few years of math I understood then mostly what he was getting at math wise. The same was true for electronics. I knew not much in the way of electronics, or electrical stuff for that matter. The formulas seemed almost scary --well not that bad, but I thought that if i were determined, I could do it. It's like your first roller coaster ride. Kind of scary, but a lot of people are doing it, getting onboard and riding, so must be something to it. Actually, it becomes fun after you have experienced it enough.So, if you have a great desire to do something that's seems it might be good in the end, you should go for it. The only true sense of failure is that you wish you had done something, but you didn't try it at all.You should be able to scale what skills and intelligence you have to try something that may seem a little out of reach, but if you are determined you can do it.Thanks for the A2A.

Can an electronic engineer become a CEO?

If you look at the most successful electronic engineering companies you will find that the CEO is not an engineer at all. That is because when companies grow too big the banks and other financial institutions join in as promoters and have a big say in the selection of the CEO. The prefer MBAs.  Let me remind you of Anne Hathaway in 'The Intern' where she starts up this eCommerce company, but the banks force her to appoint a professional CEO so that she can continue with her core job of building an eCommerce fashion portal and the CEO can deal with the statutory functions as Banks are comfortable with having a person who is from their world.Sometimes they consider someone who has grown through the ranks of the company. It is rarely an engineer. Steve Jobs was not even an undergraduate but was a rare genius whom all kinds of streams of education would pull him into his team. An engineer can take the CEOs position if the engineer has the kind of vision that no one has. Steve Jobs is an example. Otherwise CEOs seem to switch companies every quarter. Most of these are are in the CEO position either because they are MBAs or have proven themselves by heading a company and earned profits for the Company. The CEO of Intel currently is a chemical engineerSteve Mollenkopf is an electrical engineer who  is the CEO of Qualcomm. I could only find him as an example of an engineer who is a CEO ( He has BS and MS Degrees in Electrical Engineering, I guess you will allow him to be considered as an 'Electronic' engineer as US or even in India the term 'electronic' engineering is slowly getting merged with electrical engineering.

Can electronics engineer become a good programmer/developer?

There is no doubt that electronics engineer can also become very good programmers.Programming or becoming a developer is totally an open source subject; anyone can learn.I have a short story to tell you…One of my cousin, she is also from electronics background. No experience with programming till her final year of engineering. Later she flew to US to complete her MS in Computer Science. Then she started her programming. And she managed to complete her MS in 1 1/2 year(In US we can do that.). In that 1 1/2 year of programming for an electronics student finally lead her to a job at Apple Inc.If you want to be a programmer. And wanted to start.I strongly suggest you. Don’t confuse with paranoia of resources.If you want to start programming. Just register yourself with present ongoing CS50-Introduction to computer science online course. Try to catch up with the flow. That’s all you have to do…If you are a beginner. And if you already have some experience and quite comfortable with that rapport then continue with your comfort.There is only one mantra to succeed as a programmer.“You have to sit on your a*s and start coding.!” ;-)Any help you need, let me know. Happy Coding..
