So I'm a Comp. Engineer in my junior year and I've had basic circuits and then this past semester I had electronics (op-amps, transistors mostly) and linear systems/signals. I only got a B in electronics and for various reasons I don't think I learned much at all. And op-amps, transistors and there basic applications seem very important.
I've been on a co-op since January and it amazes me how little real-world and applicable knowledge I have of EE. Sure I've learned quite a few things at my co-op but I really wish I knew more. And again its mostly about the circuit design with transistors and whatnot cause I don't really know much about the applications. Like I have a basic idea on common applications like buck converters, linear supplies, class xxx amplifiers (couldnt tell ya the differences tho!) but I think I missed a lot of the basics of solid state devices in electronics and thus have a problem with applications. Though I still have quite a few EE left I feel I should at least get the basics down which would probably come a bit easier since I did afterall get at least a B and usually A in my EE classes (but again, funny how much that REALLY means).
I borrowed a roommates book for Electronics. It was Electronics 2nd edit by Alexander Hambley. Seemed like a pretty decent book.
I'm wondering if I should just order it or some other book in paperback. I got my digital logic books, linear systems, circuits etc but I mostly feel incompetent with the electronics so I think I should brush up a bit.
