The Software I use in my Electrical Engineering PhD
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
A breakdown of my electrical engineering PhD and the software I use in my PhD. I talk about electromagnetic solvers as well as other software with graphical user interfaces that allow me to perform computations and generate results.

I gotta say Electrical Engineer is the most versatile degree ever. If you got the degree, it proved that you are capable of abstract thinking and understand hard concept, every employer value that greatly

Absolutely! I think its best degree to get before starting your own company -- abstract thinking and complex problem solving
Knowing how to write latex is essential for any job that requires you to write reports. It makes everything so neat. I wrote all my lab reports in undergrad using latex and it helped me get better grades than my peers even if the content of the reports was similar to theirs

Really love your channel, super helpful! Any other youtube channels you recommend to check out to learn more about Electrical Engineering (specifically signal processing)?
Interesting video. Possibly a video on using overleaf with things such as inserting images etc. The barrier to learning it vs simplicity of word puts me off using it. Looks super neat though!

I work on a wide variety of antennas, from electrically small antennas to retro-reflective arrays.

@@abdalrahmanyahya2959 I think this will depend entirely on the country/university. Generally a good understanding of electromagnetic physics, a good understanding of circuits, and being proficient in one programming language (I recommend Matlab). Also depending on which specialty for your MS program, you can focus on courses related for that. For example a MS in power systems, review power system material etc
can anyone suggest some best lectures from mit for electrical engineering

Hi Ali, I'm from India and love electrical engineering, but there is not much scope of the field in my country, it's mostly computer science. What should I do. I'm currently in final year of my high school.

I like building automated things including computer, sensors controller( aurdino like stuff){As I have not much exposure to other stuff} . Besides this I also like electromagnetics and semiconductors as I have studied them during my course. By scope I mean that although ee students are hired by companies, most of them end up as software develoers. Core companies which are few in number recruit very few students and salary is also comparatively less than those of non core.

Matlab is not a programming language because it doesn't compile. Otherwise we will consider English and other languages as Programming languages.

@@alithedazzling When we speak to Siri, the computer follows our instructions. That doesn't make English a programming language. Similarly, writing commands in a command CLI, or formatting web text using CSS, doesn't make them programming languages. If it doesn't compile (i.e. change from a human readable language to a low level computer code) it can't be counted as Programming Language (PL). Otherwise we will end up with labelling every language as a PL, eventually the term PL will loose its meaning. Great videos btw, keep it up 👍
