Day in a Life of an Electrical & Electronics Engineering Student | University of Southampton

[@jodie7559]

I am currently taking up Electrical Engineering. I'm on my first year and I've been looking for EE yt channels for inspiration and motivation and thankfully I stumbled into one!!! 💗

I think I'm right with the hypeboy bgm. New subscriber here and an aspiring ECE student. Looking forward to more inspiring and educational content. 💖

[@brunosemedo1998]

I would like to see a video of yours about studying. Keep it up!

Please how does this concept sound ? : a vertical axis wind turbine (spinning like a carousel) this wind turbine would look exactly like a tree, I call it : e-tree, the trunk of the e-tree is brown, the spinning sails (blades) are green, and finally attached to the trunk of the e-tree are features of : wifi/mobile network, light and power outlet, to charge a car for example.

[@ssq_skullz7120]

Can I ask how you got into Southampton University. What you got in A-Levels and/or GCSEs? What got you interested in Electrical/Electronic Engineering? Did you do any Work-Experience during A-Levels? Any advice you could give for an A-Level Student who wants to pursue a career in Electrical-Engineering? Thanks.

[@Ifrahshahhh]

His face at 1:43 😂...is me every time during my class. All EE students are the identical😂

[@SleepyQuark]

Thank you for sharing useful information about electronics and engineering. I look at you and I want it too!

[@henrybrown1904]

Hey Thomas great video 😄😄, I would really like to know the steps you've taken to reach the proficiency in your 'electronics' journey. Could you please make a video on that too??

[@clowray2747]

Hi Please help. i'm trying to find out about LDR's but nobody seems to want to reply. If I introduced one of these to the tamper circuit of an average alarm system, and with a laser pointer pointed at it, would the current flow freely enough to keep the alarm system running without a fault? And if I then turn off the laser, would the resistance be great enough to trigger the alarm?

[@ThomasDo]

This question is difficult to answer because there are too many unknowns. For example, what are the specifications for the LDR and laser? What is the wavelength, resistance of the LDR and laser, and so on? Also, what does your tamper circuit look like since there is no standard circuit? The question is too open-ended, which could be why nobody is replying.

explain how they make roland synthesizers

[@Chromage]

Please what university do you attend

[@philip12odeh]

can one learn electronics without good high school level math, physics and chemistry

[@fugofugo]

Hey man I am thinking of going of into embedded systems, but what I hear is that a major part is the amount of data sheets that you have to read. I don't really get this. What is a data sheet in this context? why do you read them? Is it exhausting and a regrettable part of the field to do that kind of work? (I'm currently applying to unis so maybe that helps you with the context of how to answer)

[@ThomasDo]

Datasheets are like book guides to all the combinations of attack patterns you can use in a video game but instead of video games it’s the electronic chips. Just like how different games have different rules, each chips have their own set of instructions you can use to play with. I wouldn’t say it’s regrettable or exhausting because like a video game you get a hang of it pretty quickly. The reason why most people hate it is because it gets in the way with the fun part of actually building stuff because you need to understand the rules first before you can actually play the game. Hope that helps and I wish you well for your future endeavours!

[@fugofugo]

@@ThomasDo Ah okay I see that makes sense! That definitely helps! thank you

[@lawrenceramos660]

bro please make more videos!🥹

Hi , I am currently studying EEE 2nd year. What are the skill should I learn for the future betterment.

[@reidp646]

Would a diploma at a polytechnic be worth pursuing for the practical application? I am thinking of doing electronics engineering there and not a university

[@gamerxd7453]

Hey man , i am pursuing my majors in e&tc and i have no idea what e&tc is all about can please share me what is e&tc all about and what will I be doing if I become one ??? :⁠-⁠)

[@kamo_tsiloane]

Hi there New here, doing 1st year electrical and electronics engineering at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Care to share study tips to be more than an average student.

[@joestables2600]

Would you recommend the EEE department at southampton? I'm considering applying for the Msc Internet of Things next year.

[@ThomasDo]

I believe it’s more important to check the course structure to see if it fits with what you want to do but I can guarantee you that you wouldn’t be lacking in terms of latest technologies and tools here as the department has been just been recently upgraded and renovated.

[@臭水沟]

master's degree?

[@Jesse_Harding]

I really like your project, but I couldn't understand what you said. I understood something like controllable laser circuit. What is it? and What is the reason for doing? I'm electronics engineering student too :).

[@ThomasDo]

I am designing a handheld controllable laser driver circuit w/ a cooling system. The reason behind this is to drive specific laser diodes that my professor needs and the overarching goal is to design a handheld laser measurement device.

[@Jesse_Harding]

@@ThomasDo Interesting, I wish you success!

hello im actually tanking the same degree however i have no idea what jobs i will end up doing after university so if any of you are already working i would love to hear about it. :)

Bro i just survived my first year. Can you please share your wisdom and tell me what should i do to get a good head strart on the second year. Thanks

1) improve your fundamental skills: there are 3 kinds of learning methods in school. Lectures/reading, homework problems, and projects. Lectures/reading are the most passive approach and good for understanding the basic idea but not for actually being able to apply understanding. Homework problems are the next level of proactive learning. Doing a lot of problems will strengthen your fundamental skills in any area. If you're into programming, do a lot of programming exercises. If you're into circuits, do a lot of the textbook problems and start with the basics. You could redo the problems from a previous course you took since professors usually post solutions after the assignment is due or if the professor never posted solutions, find a textbook and organize a word document with the questions and answers. Do the problems and check the answers after. Textbooks usually have solved example problems. Projects are the highest and most valuable proactive level. This is where you apply the mastery you've obtained from doing the textbook problems and going to lectures. Its an opportunity to put into practice your understanding in a way that can be translated into a job setting. Keep a record of the projects you do and put them on a portfolio of some sort. They'll be your selling point in your interviews with companies. 2)Find your area of interest: since you're a first year, you might have taken an introductory class that gave you a gist of the different areas of EE. Find the area where you were like "that project/area was so cool." For me it was circuits. Organize a list of companies in excel or google spreadsheets that are related to that area. For example, texas instruments is a company that hires circuit designers. Dominion power hires power engineers. Check the job description in indeed or other job search engines and take note of what they expect. Your school might offer additional courses that have the skills listed in the job description. sometimes its an elective course like PLC (aka industrial automation in some places). When you take the class, keep a record of the projects you finished since they're the selling point in an interview. 3)At this point, you've learned the skills, you have a few projects under your belt in the area you're interested in and have a list of companies where you can do that area of EE. Now apply to internships. Usually universities have a career fair in the fall and spring. Don't miss out on it. Bring a neatly organized list of your projects in the form of a resume and flex. Tell them everything you did. If you want additional industry networking events, you could try joining organizations like SWE, IEEE, SHPE, NSBE, SASE if your school has them. If not, just apply to companies in indeed. The internships are like the 4th and highest level of proactive learning. You could list this as your previous work experience if you want to work at other jobs within that same area of EE (this counts as legitimate work experience). At the end of an internship, the company may extend you an offer for full-time if you're going to your senior year. alternative to internship: if you don't score an internship, you could try doing research during the summer at your university under a professor who is willing to have you. It might not be paid but the experience could be really valuable. You will get to work on a project and likely get familiar with an industry standard software. This could be listed in your CV if you decide to apply to grad school or in your resume for a job. Some areas of EE, it might be good to go to grad school to specialize - RFIC design for example. Getting research experience will prep you for that. Some schools offer a 4+1 program where you can get your masters in a year if you start your research/graduate level course work during the end of your undergrad.
