Most Important Electronics Engineering Skills To Learn

Yo yo yo, I am back and in this video I'll be going through the most important skills to learn as an Electronics Engineer. This is from my experience and what I have come to discovered as essentials.

PCB design YouTube channel: @PhilsLab

Thanks for the support and much love!

1. Soldering
2. PCB design (suggestion: Altium Design)
3. Coding (suggestion: Python, C/C++)
4. Learn to communicate (suggestion: learn the vocab for your project)
5. Engineering Mindset (suggestion: define goals and requirements, structure)

Regarding programming languages, I definitely got surprised when you said that programming language is usually overlooked and avoided by Electronics Engineers. In my country, this skill is of utmost importance. Now, regarding which programming language, for Electronics Engineer, I think it depends on your application. For more signal and data processing, scientific programming languages, such as Python, Matlab, Julia and R are great choices. For other applications, such as, Embedded Systems, languages such as C, C++, Python are the way to go :)

As an embedded electronic engineer I suggest mastering the C language. Most boards use C or C#(hardly).

Completely agree regarding Phil's Lab. He also does DSP as well. I struggled to secure a junior position because I don't know how to make PCB. Hopefully I'll improve soon

I'm an aspiring Electronics Engineer. Thank you for this informative video❤

First soft-skill, trying to communicate your ideas, that's a tough one. At my first internship I was amazed how well my mentor could communicate complex topics to me, and in how few words he was able to do it. Anyway, my uni requires two technical communications courses. I would highly recommend that everyone go through their technical communications course series at their uni; I know, we're not english majors, I get it. It will be painful but it's worth it! I'm a senior graduating summer of this year (2023) and those are still the most important set of courses that i have taken... even more important than intro to circuits or circuit theory

I think i have come across a best video till now. Thank you so much. I needed a good guidance, well i think i got 'em.

[ftvymbo]

I'm studying electronics engineering just like you.
Thanks for advice

[kawalkaur]

You stated everything point on. Thanks for such a structural video.

Electronic-Computer and Information Engineering grad here. Its a great course combining wlectrical, electronics and it. But goddamn its so hard to find a job.

Hi, your videos are really great and valuable to me, so thank you for that.
I live in Germany, so it's really complicated to choose a career for yourself, because there are so many different systems of education here and all of them seem to compete against each other. I am already set on doing electrical engineering as a degree but now there are 2 different ways for me to approach this. The 1. is to go to a "TU", so a technical university and go through all of the theoretical and math intensive stuff the field has to offer, but not really learn how to do actual engineering work like e.g. soldering or designing PCBs.
The 2. option would be to go to a university of applied sciences and learn just the theory I actually need to work as an engineer, but definitely not as wide and deeply as the TU teaches it. For that lack of theoretical education I get a lot of teaching in topics like soldering, coding, designing PCBs and a lot of projects to work on with the other students. So quite a lot of practical work and actually creating stuff. Have you experienced something comparable when it comes to the structure of a college degree or does something like this even exist outside of Germany? Would be interested in knowing if someone who does not live in Germany has heard of this system.

Thank you so much you make us confident and stay focused on why we had choose electronics Engineering ❤

I think many seem to get hung up on being a second rate wirer, a second rate hardware engineer, a second rate software engineer, a second rate prototype wirer, a second rate r&d anything even all at the same time. It is a greed thing imo where one sits where they feel happy and comfortable or cross the mark to pretend they are all seeing and all dancing. I worked my way up over the years to do what I got to love which involved many engineering aspects from all areas. The reason I excelled in one is because I enjoyed it as a base, but could also understand and accomplish the tasks of those around me without letting them know that I knew more of some of their job specs than they did . I no longer bother looking for work unless I get bored and a job is offered that looks interesting. A nice place to be to turn agents down and say you would rather sleep in😊

Woww this video is just awesome.Very insightful.Thanks, Thomas : )

[bharath]

i am electrical engg student from india. thankyou so much for this video...

[danielgaiki]

Sincere comments about the professional insights!

[ParisShenae]

Tyyyy ❤ my heart got so excited when you cursed 😂🎉 thanks for keeping it real

[ManoharBKulkarni]

We can use KiCad software for designing basic circuits easily

[jamesadriantan]

great content man! whats that tsunami thing on your back, that looks sick! i bet you did that yourself

[omen]

well...about building a portfolio, for resumes, what kind of projects does an electronics engineer do?
when it comes to computer science engineering....there are a lot of resources to take guidance from.
But for electronics engineering...i guess I'm not looking in the right direction. Can anyone please help🙏🏻
