[@Ankaramesi55]

This is the video I needed. I was literally thinking of ideas about projects I could build this summer!

[@yourbedroompunk7601]

Same!

[@trangpham-ck5jf]

Same!

I remember making an electromagnet in grade 5 science project. I used thin winding wire to give more turns as my teacher told me that it's used in most devices..... and it didn't work.😅 Long after in my freshman year of EE when I first used a transformer, I came to know that winding wire has insulation coating on it and you have to scratch that out to connect it to a power source. The electromagnet is really cool project to understand the basics of physics especially when it doesn't work. 😂

[@laserbeans6544]

A good hardware practice project is an FM radio in my experience. I spent hours upon hours on it had ups and downs but finally when it worked it was awesome. I learnt some stuff about antennas, filter circuits and amplifiers. I Highly recommend 👍

[@cholyom2629]

What makes electrical engineering cool and interesting is building stuffs

[@aneraxxmusic2343]

Cool ideas. Just finished doing an automatic goalkeeper project for school using a USB camera and just programming in python on my laptop and using an arduino to control a servo in response to that. I want to try something more electrical heavy

[@goldenseahawk]

Perfectly timed video I was just thinking about this! Also next time you should showcase some projects or baseline ideas specifically based in RF and wireless because your videos make me want to specialize in that field but I don’t know where to start!

[@Bytekin101]

Probably the only yt Electrical Engineer that gives awesome advices! I have a question regarding the Career field of an Display Electrical engineer. Maybe if you can make a video of different Career fields part of electrical engineering ?

[@mubarakabdhameed1657]

I think he has explained that in one of his videos, just check his playlist

[@ShafinAhmedKhan-ex3yp]

I was waiting for THIS kind of video pls make more video on intermediate to advance project ideas

[@alithedazzling]

sure, I will make that one next

[@ymwo97679]

I am looking to study engineering so I can work in the energy industry. I will need to dip my toes into electronics at some point, so I appreciate this as a way to get started

[@alithedazzling]

This is simplest way to get started!

[@ItsMeTheUser]

Please next time show us some projects related to antennas, communication systems, RADAR....

[@alithedazzling]

Those would be fun!

[@ryanfarrell153]

Make an fm radio receiver with a speaker. Then try make a little transmitter with a mic for your receiver

[@ItsMeTheUser]

@@ryanfarrell153 That sounds cool, thanks dude.

[@affanfahimkhan8420]

Really motivating as an EE freshman. Looking forward to more EE content😊.SUBBED

[@crazyboyandyomama]

For the last, you can implement Conway's game of life

[@bro...]

OMG DUDE I WAS JUST Watching " Most Important Skills for Electrical Engineering " and I though it would be nice if Ali made a video on some good projects 😂

[@alithedazzling]

Oh wow! Did you find the projects easy to comprehend?

[@deadlyalpaca8548]

Awesome video, been waiting for this💪 would be interesting to see more advanced hardware projects

[@alithedazzling]

sure, like build on your own?

[@deadlyalpaca8548]

@@alithedazzling would be interesting! maybe something related to electronics with pcb design is duable

[@Puzzl.e]

I expected some kind of RC car or simple robot since I see those a lot on EE department , but still a pretty good list .

[@alithedazzling]

would you like a more advanced version?

[@Puzzl.e]

@@alithedazzling Since I am not in EE major "yet" I think this list is perfect for me, i just felt it was weird not to see those since it's all I see students doing in my college .

[@EngineeringInsiders]

Nice Ali! Please don't blame me if I make a similar video. I swear it's been in the idea bank for months 😂 Quality content and opinions here!

[@alithedazzling]

Go for it! My goal is to inspire engineers, if you can do that as well then great!! We can also potentially do a collab, you have great content, shoot me an e-mail :)

[@nicholasbrantley7479]

This is exactly what I needed! I’m currently in college for electrical engineering online, but have felt pretty lost when it comes to practical use and getting hands on experience. If you have any ideas for more projects or a good source to learn programming, I would love to hear it!

[@ItsMeTheUser]

I really really really appreciate it.

[@alithedazzling]

you are very welcome!

[@MoreKilosMoreFritos]

I have an internship this summer, but a great video all in all

[@alithedazzling]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@LIMO509]

Hi Ali , I would like know whether studying chemistry is compulsory to start Electrical Engineering as im only studying Maths & Physics for my GCE 's.

[@MAHFUJ05]

I already completed bachelors in electrical and electronics engineering now i am in the usa i don’t know which one i should do for masters .for future job

[@avatartwok588]

omg thank you so much i was just looking around for this

[@alithedazzling]

Glad I could help!

[@samy-g6757]

Will the high current in project 1 be too high for a human body due to the lack of resistance of the circuit?

[@alithedazzling]

not really, it's only a 9v battery ~~ human body has high resistance, so resulting current will be very low

[@tylerjohnson4]

Cool suggestions! I'm thinking of starting an engineering club at my high school and implementing some of these projects! Arduino seems really versatile and a great platform to do projects with. Do you have any advice for starting an engineering club and how I could keep it fun? Thanks

[@ncooper8438]

In the uk these are electronics projects rather than electrical, but its a moot point.

[@AgentBlackman]

The timing of this video is uncanny. Thankyou Ali

[@Lil_electrician]

[@Slimeneyassine]

hello ali I have a question that I couldn't get the answer to why remove 0.5v from npn transistor??

[@AugustineBomb]

I'm in second year of my program in university how do i get to practicalize Electrical engineering especially when the school talks more on theories

[@aliktaish8118]

How you see telecommunication engineering

[@TonyDaExpert]

These are good projects but if you want to get a microcontroller based job its best to move on from arduino before you graduate, especially since the job market is a bit more competitive these days

[@Tay2Cheap]

Do you mean to learn it or find other programs?

[@ariyanbista5837]

thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!

[@alithedazzling]

No problem 😊

[@mecidkemal6754]

Youre an iraqi?

[@bhavikshah3979]

Hello, im a recent graduate with a BS in Electrical Engineering. In my current situation I felt as if COVID took away many opportunities from learning and growing as an engineer not only due to most of classes being online and lacking some fundamental electrical engineering knowledge. If anyone has advice for me as a new grad in electrical engineer please feel free to leave a comment below.

[@chisomobi1308]

Ali, do you think i should study mathematics a lot before physics or do both simultaneously - like maths is applied physics as you know so I'm confused

[@mistadude]

I’m scared that I won’t be charismatic wnough to get myself into this field. I am good at math and I can learn new things easily but I’m not able to talk to people very well and my mind goes blank when I am asked to talk unless I really know what I’m talking about I’m scared that I won’t be able to get a good career or anything like that do u know of this.

[@TuHavilah]

Hi,good morning. My name is Fucheng , at new york .How to get the Electrician's license please?

Hi Ail , I'm a game programmer in Unity Engine (for about 3 years) and for the next 2 weeks I'm going to finish the second year of highschool (so only 1 year left) and I was planning for being a game a programmer in the future but I'm more into Embedded Systems Programming and I don't know what to do , in game programming I have experience and have done a couple of projects and I'm slowly building my resume and (if my plan goes as expected) when I turn 19 I'm ready for a job , but also I have pation for Embedded Programming , if my plan didn't succeed , I'll go to University but what would I chose EE or CS or what , I'm also currently working to Improve my Math and English (it's my second language), and thank you for your amazing content ❤.

[@josueane1572]

What is your opinion on going to CC to complete all the ged ed courses for engineering then transfering to a University to finish the core classes? In this scenario all the classes and credits would transfer due to a program the CC and Uni have. I know this is off topic but i figured id be better off asking you on your latest video.

[@ee_e_036debadeeptasahoo6]

Sir can you please suggest any online resources for plc learning

[@ImmHungry]

Should I do projects or get a job over the summer if I don't have an internship?

[@baselalhomsi6429]

Hi Ali, I am an EE student and I wanted to ask you some questions. Where can i contact you?

[@Leo-we8cu]
