Hello guys, I am currently attending a grade 10 class in my school and well my teacher recommends me to join the 12th grade EPAS class (Electronic Products Assembly and Servicing).
I don’t know alot of things about these new components and it’s my first time on the class and I really wanna crush this class and catch up in a week..

I know a few things regarding this and my first circuit was a NE555 timer and that’s it

and I gotta learn how to do this ones from 12th grade class and the theory’s like ohm’s law which was mentioned by a 12th grader and all, I think the only things I need are the theory and stuff to catch up and some few basic mathematics about it..

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a cross-platform ECAD application focused on RF and analog circuit design.

This short video shows the complete workflow for building a simple 500 MHz low-pass filter, running an AC simulation, interactively tuning component values, and finally using automatic optimization.

I'm still actively developing the application, so I'd really appreciate feedback from people who design RF circuits.

What would you improve in this workflow?

P.S
the narration is generated from my own voice using a local AI voice model cuz english is not my native language, sorry for that. I'm still tuning it, so you may notice a few artifacts.

I completed class 12 in India with85.5%. My main subjects were physics, chemistry, and math, with biology as an additional subject. Although I didn't study computer science in school, I'm interested in Electronics and Communication Engineering. To prepare, I'm planning to take a gap year to build programming skills and learn the core concepts needed for ECE, so I can enter university better prepared and ready to excel.

I'm an upcoming Sophomore Electrical Engineering student and plan to declare a concentration in Nuclear Power/Power Systems. I'm looking for any and everything to make my resume standout to recruiters and in applications (even though I know most are scanned by AI for buzzwords). I would also like to know about some more skills that I should work on and organizations I should consider. Of course, all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been doing some market research looking for a reliable netlist-to-schematic converter that outputs clean, human-readable diagrams (especially given how often LLMs and scripts spit out raw netlists or ugly grid stubs). Aside from basic layout engines or specialized SPICE tools, I haven't found a robust, modern solution.

Because of this gap, I'm considering building one myself.

Before diving too deep into development, I wanted to run a few questions by this community:

• Target Formats: Which schematic tool outputs/formats are most commonly used in your workflows today? (e.g., KiCad .sch/.kicad_sch, Altium, LTspice .asc, etc.)
• Product Model: Assuming a tool like this existed as a cloud/SaaS product, would you or your team be interested in using it as a paid service?
• Must-Have Features: If you were paying for a tool like this, what features would be non-negotiable? (e.g., round-trip connectivity verification, custom symbol mapping, hierarchical block structuring, automated layout arrangement)

I'd love to hear your thoughts, whether you'd find this useful, or what hidden gotchas I should watch out for when trying to map topology back into a readable diagram.

I have to give a project idea by this weekend but our teammates have interest in several fields like one wants to include embedded one wants to do project in communication domain and the other says it's better to include vlsi.

If anyone has any ideas to overcome this please help me find a project to do.

And in which domain we have to do our project 😭?

Background:

BS EE, MS CS

3 YOE in digital design / test automation

2 YOE embedded / FPGA

1 YOE software / platform

Goal: Work on software for EE domains. Things like PCB tools (Cadence, KiCad), power systems (ETAP, PSS/E), or general EDA tooling.

I've been planning to try contributing to KiCad since I use it for personal projects, and I think it'll be a good opportunity to improve my C++.

Besides that, what else should I work on to get there?

An MSEE specializing in what interests me most?

Getting a general software/cloud role at a company that makes EDA tools?

Basically I’ve been doing some fpga projects and research, all primarily in SystemVerilog, and want to spend the rest of my summer preparing for technical interviews for internships. Should I be focusing on leet code type questions using C++ or even python, or something more along the lines of HDLbits, or a secret third option? I’m not really sure what to be practicing, but i’d love any tried and true practices. Thanks!

For those who did their masters or PhD in EE from a pure physics background- how did it go? What coursework, projects, or other experiences helped getting accepted into EE program?

I’m a Computer Engineering student on the Electrical Engineering track at Texas A&M, currently planning to graduate in May 2027. My GPA is around 3.1.

I’ve been applying heavily for engineering internships and co-ops, but I haven’t been able to secure one. I’ve had very few interviews, and most applications have ended in rejections or no response.

I’m currently applying for Fall 2026 co-ops, but my department requires the co-op registration request by August 1. The application requires an official offer letter, so I cannot complete it unless I receive an offer before the deadline.

Since I’m supposed to graduate in May 2027, I’m unsure what I should do next. Should I spend Fall 2026 mainly applying for full-time new-graduate positions? Or should I apply for Spring 2027 co-ops, delay graduation until December 2027, and try to gain professional engineering experience before graduating?

I’m worried that graduating without an internship will make it much harder to get a full-time electrical or computer engineering job. At the same time, delaying graduation does not guarantee that I will secure a Spring co-op either.

Has anyone here received an entry-level engineering job without completing an internship? Would you recommend focusing on full-time positions, or delaying graduation to continue pursuing a co-op?
