Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest good sites to study electrical
and electronic engineering from scratch.. like in year 11/12 scratch.
I have always been good at maths. I basically switched to commerce and
economics and now after 3 degrees in arts, I want to get back to
science..

I googled " electronical electrical basics :- .com " and got some
decent sites..

Would love to hear some more from you guys

Rodin.

Get the book.

http://www.google.com/search?q=ISBN-0-521-37095-7&num=100 . . .
http://books.google.com?q=it.begins.at.a.level.suitable.for.those.with.no.previous.exposure.to.electronics

I googled " electronical electrical basics :- .com "

I would be suspicious of any page that got a hit on "electronical".

** Fuck off.

There are already about 10,000,000 autistic fucking wankers like YOU with
the same ASININE idea that you can learn "engineering " from a bloody
book.

You can't.

No more than you can learn how to sing, dance or think, from a book.

Fuck off.

Someone could potentially learn engineering from a book. But it's the
practical experience that determines the true engineers.

I say this as someone who has an Info Sci degree knowing full well I
should have gotten an E.E.

There's still time for me to do the E.E. though.

You learn electronics and keep interested by building stuff, you need
to start there.

hey rod

i'm in your same boat and i''ve hitched my wagon (pardon the mixed
metaphor) to AOE ("The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill). it's
a book rather than a website, and it's dated too, but these guys swear
by it. at first it was like trying to decipher the rhind papyrus but
now it's starting to settle down to making some sense. i've also found
a good schaum book, "electric circuits" from their "easy outlines"
series. be ready for a bumpy ride: engineers are good at doing things,
not at explaining them.

hope it helps.

peace

I went to Google and typed in "resistor capacitor inductor lessons"
and this one (among others) came up -

http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/electricCircuits/index.htm

I would also suggest the Amateur Radio Handbook from the ARRL or
similar books from the RSGB. Quite inexpensive when they are a few
years old. Also look for books written by Doug DeMaw.

I've been in electronics for 40 years and I find many of the amateur
radio publications an afordable and practical source covering a wide
range of electronic fields, often written by professionals.

Another very good key word to add to any subject search is
"tutorial".

RDH3.pdf & RDH4.pdf can be found online. These are PDF version of old
engineering handbooks. they were written before authors assumed you
already knew everything.

oh so when you reply to authors it sends an email.. hmm.. got myself a

Probably the best way is to get you some simple project books and do some
fun experiments... that is, unless you can do these sorts of things.
Basically you kinda need to see it in action a little because chances are
you don't really know whats going on for several months(of course it will be
progressive but its a huge subject).

First remember that its never as hard as it seems but you'll make faster
progress if you have someone holding your hand.

Also, there is a tremendos amount of resources on the web so if you don't
understand one thing you just need to do a little footwork to find the
answers. Chances are this group with answer most of your questions but also
realize that no one knows everything and theres a lot of ego's around here
so you might be careful not to step on anyones toes. I mean, for you own
sake cause some of those ego's do know a thing or two and if you piss them
off they might not help you. (although I doubt you'll have an issue here).
Oh, but you also have to realize besides ego's that there are just some
plain old assholes here too so don't take offense by them(just ignore them
if you can).

BTW, try not to spend to much money on it unless you are rich. Many books
can be found that will get you started but you don't have to pay an arm and
leg for them. Get them used or from library sales(or just goto your
library). Basic electronics hasn't changed much in the few decades.

Don't be affraid of experimenting but be careful around high voltage(mains)
unless you are not afraid to die(its not really all that likely but there is
still betting chance). You'll learn best by doing so don't be afraid. Just
be careful and anal about double checking because you might ruin a pretty
decent number of electrical parts if your not careful.

Anyways, have fun.

Jon

Hi Jon,

thanks for that. I got a book.. the art of electronics.. I thought I
would teach myself some basic maths relevant to electronics.. right I
am just identifying things I want to build.. mostly buy electronics
on the cheap..

will post with some issues.

Isn't that why everyone gets into electronics? To pick up chicks?

Speaking of chicks, where are they anyways?

In the chicken coop, with the hens. Keep in mind that all those
little chicks aren't female! ;-)
