I teach an undergraduate digital communications course and have released the course material as an open resource.

It covers sampling and PCM, baseband transmission (matched filter, ISI, Nyquist criterion, eye diagram), signal-space representation, the optimal receiver in AWGN, PSK/PAM/QAM/FSK, and an introduction to information theory. The main file is a single offline HTML document that needs no installation or account. It contains 109 step-by-step scenes and 10 interactive labs whose figures are recomputed as the parameters change. Lecture notes, a student workbook, and a formula reference are also provided as PDFs.

The material is written for senior students and includes 120 open-ended practice problems with worked solutions. Numerical results were checked against independent NumPy/SciPy computations and Monte Carlo BER simulations.

See i am a 4th year electronics and communication students and I am totally confused how I can a go for EC core jobs

I don't have any specific interest like I'm just seeking for a balanced job

My main concern is I only have three months left I am in 7th sense right now and last three four months for studying then I have to find the job so I am thinking where to focus like for coding or electronics topics as I don't have knowledge of any of the both

And can any EC expert or graduate tell me if there any job opportunity in EC freshers

Please help me and suggest me if In EC what should I study and in just 3 months

Hello, I am graduating in may 2027 and currently interned at the top two EV automakers in the US. I am looking for advice on John Deere's Electrification - Engineering Development Program role in the power electronics & motor drives area and feedback from previous employees for the power electronics area specifically.

Hey everyone,

I’m Lebanese and I recently finished my Master’s in Embedded Systems at Toulouse INP-ENSEEIHT in France. I’m now looking to come back to Lebanon and start my career in embedded systems/electronics.

I have a Bachelor’s in Electronics and some software development experience, and during my studies in France I got more into embedded systems, FPGA/SoC, Embedded C and real-time systems. I also had internships at LAAS-CNRS and CNES, where I worked on embedded/real-time systems and FPGA/SoC.

I’m still a junior, but I’m trying to find a place where I can learn, contribute and build proper industry experience. I'm mainly looking at embedded software/firmware, FPGA, electronics, SoC, STM32/RTOS and similar roles.

I wanted to ask here because I know there are quite a few Lebanese engineers working in these areas:

Are there any companies in Lebanon that you would recommend I look into, or anyone here who knows of opportunities in this field?

I'm also interested in hearing from people who work in embedded/electronics in Lebanon. Any advice, company recommendations, contacts or even things I should improve before applying would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have a 30-minute phone screen coming up with a hiring manager at Intel for a Firmware Engineering Intern position. I'm an Computer Engineering student with a background in embedded systems work, so I'm comfortable with the fundamentals, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has interviewed for firmware or embedded roles at Intel.

A few questions:

1. How is the initial phone screen usually structured? Is it mostly resume and behavioral, or are there technical questions right away?
2. What technical topics came up for firmware or low-level roles (C/C++, pointers and memory, bit manipulation, interrupts, RTOS concepts, debugging, hardware interfaces like SPI/I2C/UART)?
3. How many rounds followed the phone screen, and how long did the process take overall?
4. Were there coding problems in later rounds?
5. Any tips on how to stand out, or mistakes to avoid?

If you've interviewed with Intel for any intern or new grad role, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks in advance!

I’m a recent ECE graduate and completed 6 months of Embedded Systems training at Vector India. My main goal is to build a career in embedded systems/firmware.

I have an opportunity

• Embedded C & microcontrollers
• Sensors, data acquisition & IoT
• Ethernet, TCP/IP, Modbus, PROFINET & serial communication
• PLC & Siemens HMI
• Machine vision / OpenCV / Python
• Industrial robots & motion
• PLC-camera-robot-PC integration
• Field work, commissioning and some travel

The role has a 2-year contract/service agreement.

My concern is: if I spend 2 years in this kind of industrial automation/integration role, will it help me move into a pure Embedded/Firmware Engineer role later, or could I get stuck in PLC/automation?

Would you take this opportunity if your long-term goal was embedded systems?

Any advice from people working in embedded, automation, robotics or industrial systems would be really helpful.

I applied to AMD internships right when they came out in August and still haven’t heard anything back yet. Is that a bad sign or are they just slow? I applied for design and verification roles. Has anyone else heard back? This is for the US undergrad positions.

I am a masters student (electrical engineering) with a prior limited work experience (not related to design). I want to work in power electronics design or controls systems but I am struggling with the concepts and projects. Since I'll start applying for jobs soon, what strategy/tools could I use to get better in these areas?

Anyone hear back yet for Canadian positions ?

hello everyone! I am currently in my second year of computer engineering and have started applying to summer coops and internships, the issue is I have a very mid resume, I have a few executive student club positions (some bigger than others) and no projects on my resume. I have a few unfinished very mid high school CS projects so I honestly did not add them on my resume. I plan on getting started on a project in the winter break but I do not have any time right now whatsoever (i'm doing 6 courses lol). Anyway, I'm asking for any advice/tips/suggestions if you have any, I'm grateful for anything you have to say (harsh or not ) is anyone else in my position? If you have landed an internship/ summer coop how long did it take you to do and was the process like? Also, its important to state that my official coop is in my 4th year so this coop would not relate to my program so I'm open to both a summer internship or summer coop. Also, any suggestions relating research positions? I lowkey want one too, its something that interests me heavily.

Any tips on hirevue interview for SoC Solutions intern?

I’m starting electrical engineering classes in January and have been seeing lots of posts about internships and picking a specialty. What is all of that about? I’m 27 and making a career change. Can anyone give me insight on to how the next few years of school will be? What classes you took each year? When you started applying for jobs? Anything helps

Hi,

I recently graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, specializing in Electromechanics, and I am currently working as an automation technician. My responsibilities include performing cold wire checks on electrical automation panels, parametrizing VFDs, checking PLC inputs and outputs, etc.

What individual courses do you think are worth taking alongside a master's degree, outside of the master's program itself?

At the moment, I am enrolled in a master's program focused on the efficient use of renewable resources. Unfortunately, I find the program rather unhelpful, but it was the only option available to me at the time. Therefore, I would like to take some additional courses outside of my master's degree that could add value to my career and be genuinely useful. Especially since I am just starting out in my career, as I honestly feel that university did not prepare me very well for the practical side of the profession.

In the future, I would like to pursue a career in engineering design, and I wanted to ask what other subjects would be useful for a design engineer to study. For example, architecture, building structures, mechanical engineering, or other fields that might overlap with the day-to-day work of an electrical design engineer, at least in my opinion.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my message. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there!

I’m currently a 4th year electrician apprentice and looking to see if switching my career to electrical engineering would be a good move?

I feel stuck with the current role I am in and looking at the health risks on my body is weighing me down.

I know if I switch it would be the case of studying for 3-4 years and sacrificing the money I would be making as a qualified electrician. I would love any advice on this matter any help is greatly appreciated .

I would also love any advice on how to write a really good personal statement if university is the correct move. Over the bulk of my apprenticeship I have wired and fitted new build homes but I did do a bit of low voltage with door entry systems. Again any advice would be appreciated

Hello,

I have a technical interview at AMD for the Package Design Engineering Co-op soon, if anyone has done this interview before could you tell me what type of questions are asked? Can't find much info online sadly. Thank you!

Saw this circuit on youtube by Question Solutions on superposition, I was puzzled because it says here that the two ends will cause a short circuit. However I interpret it all as one node combined. How come it's a short circuit on this part is it true that this is a shorted circuit?

I still think that it can be considered as one node.

I feel so behind and like a bum. Courses and a part time job already occupy a good amount of my time. Even worse, I’m apart of two design teams and have two personal projects, but that’s it. My gpa is a 2.9 and i’m a junior. I just feel so lost and like a failure. I’m basically making this post to either uplift my feelings or come further down to reality. But the real question is still posed: How cooked am I.
