nacl01! Knowing what you know now, how could you have gotten to your EE expertise faster? Imagine you were able to go back in time and advise your younger self how to get to EE mastery in less time. What would you advise? What where the hardest obstacles and what were the most important breakthroughs for you?
I recently bought a couple books from Amazon. One is "Step by Step Electrical Engineering Fundamentals and Exercises" by Sabino di Vietri. Another, which presents things somewhat similarly but with a bent toward getting you through the "Professional Engineering Exam" is "A Programmed Review for Electrical Engineering" by Bentley and Hess.
There is a lot of content, and I am currently not very facile with much of it. On the other hand, presented in such a step-by-step, functional way, it doesn't seem impossible to work through and grasp. I'm looking at it thinking: "One page, one algebraic formula, or one diagram at a time, this could be absorbed." I'm sure it would take a number of hours but it doesn't look near as opaque as some of my other too-many books!
Of course, that is easier said than done. But it does remind me that sometimes just laying things out in reasonable order, and getting going, can cumulate.
Would wiring a house or three help? I did wire one a long time ago, and get it through the building inspection. And it hasn't burned down yet. ;-Q
