>electric engineer
>all books are about boring ass circuits and not cool robots

When am I supposed to get to the good stuff and create my own stuff? I'm sick of diodes and transistors.

when you get a masters in Mech E.

>> No.7045630

Are you by chance thinking of mechatronics instead?

school is about boring shit, hobbies are where the real learning takes place.

>> No.7045640

I like circuits because it is like a puzzle that you just learn more and more rules for.

But yeah get an arduino or a pi and just start with some simple projects on the Internet

circuits is the worst part of physics I almost quit because of it

Because until you can code in C and understand Assembly you don't have any tools to implement anything cool. Arduino is for hacks btw.

why does electrical current flow from positive to negative when the medium for electricity is the negatively charged electron? who got that wrong?

kirchoffs and ohms is usually a bunch of circuits problems.

Yeah you learn the principles behind resistance, capacitance, and inductance, then your teacher goes "if you want to learn more do electrical engineering" and then you move on to maxwell's equations and light.
