Hello everyone
I'm an electrical engineer and never did design before, I am working now
as technologist.
I like to learn design. does anybody know about good courses in Toronto
area in Canada or some resources sites . Thanks for reading

I learned all my basic electroncs stuff out of the Radio Amateurs
Handbook. Its a great source for comprehensive knowledge (minus the
over abundance of seldom needed mathematics found in most'text' books).

thank you very much for the reply. yes you are right I will try to
explain more in details.
I like to learn how to design logic circuits using CPLDs also iam
interested in learning about microcontroller cos I know C language and I
would love to learn how to program embedded microcontrollers.
Regards

Just what exactly do you want to design?

It's been pointed out on this group and many others that design skills
come with experience, so the quick answer is that you go get some
experience. However, there are plenty of fundamental skills that aren't
taught in EE or ET programmes that you could certainly teach yourself,
and people here will be happy to point you towards some good resources.
But all this is dependent on what you want to design.

There's plenty of resources of one sort or another in the Toronto area,
but all are specific to certain areas of electrical engineering.

If you respond with what it is that you are interested in learning
about the design of, there may be some more specific answers I can give
you.

Cheers,

Chris

Trying to learn electronic design in a classroom, or on the web,
would be about as effective as learning tennis in a classroom. Design
is not an intellectual activity; to learn how to design, just do it.
It would be helpful to design things in the presence of a mentor who
is already good at it, which implies a job with a small company, under
somebody who is willing to give you a job you can already do
productively but where you could gradually transition into design (if
you have the talent and temperament, which not everyone has.)

I recommend a good development system in each area. Something that lets
you try things out and is helpful at debugging. Programming (in the
early phases) has much more to do with analyzing your mistakes than
anything else. Mostly *have fun*, if not, learning is an awfully big chore.

I'll second that. I had the 1963 edition. But I didn't actually _learn_
from the book - I learned by getting my hands on parts and building stuff.

Do they have Radio Shack or Fry's in Canada? They have hobbyist starter
kits. Learn what makes the 'bits' go up and down - the rest is
conversation. :)

Cheers!
