Perfect, finding ebooks of these should be easy.

Depends on what you want to do. Are you interested in digital or analog? Do you want to learn how integrated circuits are designed or just how to use them?

Topics like semiconductor device physics, microwave engineering, and VLSI are all deep and rewarding to study but may be of no practical use to the standard electrical engineer designing PCBs with microcontrollers and a few dozen sensors/interfaces

What makes the best money on the fly?

>>8389863
Check out the electronics general on /diy/

>>8389863
Buy components. Buy oscilloscope. Build shit. Build a lot of shit.

Books are good for references and teaching you some of the finer points of design but it's not a substitute for practical experience.

If your goal is making money then definitely disregard devices, microwave, and VLSI. All have pretty low return for the required education and have 100s of thousands of dollars worth of equipment cost.

I would encourage you to look to computer science if you want something that easy for someone to learn on their own with limited financial resources.

If EE is where you want to be digital is probably your best bet. Typical hobbyist projects with Raspberry Pi or Arduino can teach you a lot about basic circuits and embedded systems with minimal cost/time investment. I would also encourage you to check out CAD software like altium after knocking out a few hobby projects. I think a very fast path to a job would be to become a board layout CAD software guru and join a company as a dedicated layout guy.
Analog is typically very expensive in terms of equipment to learn on and it is much much harder to make something that does things that normal humans consider useful. It also requires a much stronger math/physics background.

It is important to keep in mind that EE is an incredibly broad field and many areas have minimal if any overlap. Often outside knowledge can give an edge over traditionally educated engineers. I know an old dude who used to control a laser light and music show called Laserium (you can look it up) in the 70s and 80s. Basically the expertise he gained fixing and building the laser systems for his performances gave him sufficient knowledge of optics to join a start up that designs satellite payloads. What is your background and interests in?

Well, I'm aiming to become a nuclear engineer and I already have programming experience.

Which is why this option: >>8390265, isn't an option.

Anymore advice or information?

The United Kingdom, why?

>>8391678
<- This one?

>>8389863
Try and build a computer. Pick the parts and put it together

>>8391779
Already done that.

>>8391799
I did. :/

>>8391818
Thank you.

>>8391712
Yes, that book. Can anyone link me to the digital copy?

>>8389946
>>8389888
these are good
PLUS

you should get the pdf of schaum's basic circuit analysis to get practice problemson a lot of the first theorems that carry over in circuit analysis.

>>8391883

not to late to switch to EE from NE

electric circuits by alexander and sadiku is a great textbook for the fundamentals of circuit analysis

Anyone has this book - Learning the Art of Electronics?

>>8393270
I looked around on multiple sites (libgen, piratebay, google custom ebook search), and found nothing. It's probably because the book isn't available as pdf yet, and scanning some 1000 something pages is a huge task. The good news is that it will probably be available as pdf soon, and then it will most likely be uploaded to libgen (same thing happened with the third edition of The Art of Electronics, the pdf version was released like a year after the paperback). This is all just speculation tho.

>>8393462
I really hope so, waiting around for books is a pain.

>>8394725
Seconded.

Use Torrentproject.se OP.

No results there either, but thanks for recommending the site.

>>8395121
Oh rip. Is that the lab book?

You can just get an arduino kit, they go over the basic use of each component in a breadboard pretty nicely.

I got that $30 elegoo super starter kit and it was the funnest $30 I've spent.

Though, you might just wanna get a regular one with no controller board, just some resistors, leds and caps to test stuff out.

Multimeter and banana cables with aligator clips might be interesting too.

That's a great idea, thank you, anon.
