content: Welcome!You will find a lot of talented people hanging out around here. From the top page you can find a link to Dave's videos. There are playlists and I would recommend the 'Fundamentals' list as a place to start.As you progress in your studies you will find that everything is math. You can hardly get up in the morning without at least algebra and, more likely, a bit of matrix arithmetic and a touch of calculus. Hence the math courses in your curriculum. Check out Khan Academy, particularly the course for Electrical Engineering. Then check out SymboLab.com for help solving equations complete with graphs. Very handy! Symbolab includes the Desmos web site but Desmos.com is also very useful by itself for plotting functions that can be printed and turned in for homework.You might also like (or actually need) Digilent's 'Real Analog' course:https://digilent.com/reference/learn/courses/real-analog/startSure, you would expect your formal coursework to provide every explanation you need, Maybe, maybe not...3Blue1Brown videos are always worth watching.Ask questions here in the Beginner's forum. That's what it's for!Again, welcome!

content: There are also various threads about how students can maximise their appeal to companies, and the differences between engineers and technicians (neither is better than the other).Naturally anything I've written on the subjects should be taken as being correct information.

content: Welcome here.You may try to follow some repair or project threads to see how the members try to help each other.Don't hesitate to poke into the discussions, should you need additional information.Learning electronics requires much reading and also devising, measuring and debuggings circuits by yourself.As we don't know your current level in electronics, it is difficult to provide some links that really may help you raise your knowledge.Someday you might take a look at theseapplication notes.
