Thank you so much for the reply. I just wanted to confirm is this the correct version of The Art of Electronics https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWV8408/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1oQ1BbVRGFJBP

I plan on reviewing everything under the sun for this interview, but am only just getting into some of the more technical electrical engineering courses. I haven’t had the opportunity to learn much about transistors or anything along those lines. Will there be any overview of those or AC-DC converters in this book?

At my school we used the following (an older edition when I was there):

Fundamentals of Digital Logic - Verilog

There is a VHDL version if you want to focus on learning that language.
Fundamentals of Digital Logic - VHDL

I remember the book did the job fine, and it came in handy as a reference when I took more advanced courses in Computer Organization and Digital VLSI. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get a Schaums guide in digital logic to give you more practice, and worked out examples.

(I'd also suggest getting a discrete math book.)

You should read this book or one similar. A good intro will require much more than a few web pages. While you are reading the book you should get a soldering iron and some supplies (they will be mentioned in the book). And build some simple circuits.

I read this one a few years ago and it was a good base.

Hey,

ECE212.


ECE241 - You learn C++ and OOP fundamentals in this course. We didn't have a textbook when I took it. Just online notes.

ECE241 - Stephen Brown is a prof at UofT and a great lecturer. I also still have this book if you are interested in buying from me!

ECE216 - Might still have this book if you're interested.

ECE221 - Professor Stickle probably will teach this course. Great lecturer but his tests/exams are notoriously hard.

ECE243 - Did not have a textbook when I took the course. Prof. Moshovos provided course notes online.

ECE297 - No textbook for this course. It's like a mini design project that lasts all semester where you have to build a concurrency based storage server in a team of 3. Picking a good team of programmers and technical writers is imperative.

Protip: Next time check TUSBE for textbook names and buying second-hand textbooks.

PS: Congrats on getting through 1st year, 2nd year will be tough.

Ok, now you're starting to understand the power of clear communication.

I will google "Adult in the digital age", and let's see what comes up...

Edit: here's the top result.

Do you want me to read this book?

I'm interning this summer as a hardware engineer this summer and a lot of the job is VHDL/Verilog programming/testing. So learning this would put you ahead when you start with school and eventually when looking for internships.

The book I used in school was this, it goes through a lot of the basic digital design and also has Verilog programming examples you can work through. The major software package I use at work is a flavor of [ModelSim] (http://model.com/content/modelsim-pe-student-edition-hdl-simulation)(free student version). You can program anything from a simple digital block all the way up to an entire CPU with this software. Hope this helps.
