>>11883917The core of EE is circuit design, be it grid power or PCBs. Scroll through Digikey or Mouser to learn about my life as a PCB hardware designer.
Important auxillary skills include basic electrician skills for wiring things, using multimeters and oscilloscopes, and soldering (John Gammell videos are soldering porn, highly recommended).
Interdisciplinary includes C programming (if you're an embedded hardware designer, or just a EE defector), enclosure design (ME related), or human behavior for civil and UI design.
There's also math and physics basics, too. Ohm's law is a start to go down the rabbit hole.
Bottom line, learn how to use KiCAD (open source) or any other ECAD tool as early as possible. Get a breadboard and implement a simple LED light circuit. If you don't like making drawings of technical art and being autistic over details, then EE is not for you.
Also, no grils, as
