I’m so far behind that I can see myself in the distance. For example, I’ve been meaning to post a brief blog on this topic for more yonks than I care to remember.
So, here it is in a nutshell. My chum Glenn Kirilow, who hails from Down Under and basks under the antipodean sun, has created an Electronics Engineering website called theEEview that he describes as being: “Chock full of courses to be released in the near future on Analog Electronics, Embedded Software, and FPGAs, as well as blog posts.”
I’ve long wanted to create a site like this myself. I love teaching this sort of thing and I find it really rewarding when students wrap their brains around something. I remember once giving a live presentation on fundamental electronics to a bunch of printed circuit board (PCB) designers. I had explained the functionality of NOT, AND, and NAND gates and shown their symbols, and then I said that one way to visualize a NAND gate is to start with an AND gate followed by a NOT gate, and then push the NOT gate symbol back into the AND gate until only its “bobble” (or bubble) — the small circle on the output — remains visible. I heard a delighted voice at the back of the audience cry out, “So THAT’S what it means!”
I think that Glenn has set himself a task that will keep him busy for many years to come, and I look forward to seeing how his site and courses evolve over time. How about you? Can you suggest any topics for future courses for Glenn to cover?
Hi Max, the link to the theEEview is showing “site unavailable”. Still setting up?
That moment of comprehension is a very satisfying thing and everyone needs a different way to reach it, which is why more approaches there are to explain EE, the better.
That’s weird — let me send a message to Glenn asking him what’s going on — Max
Hi Joel,
Apologies for that and thank you for pointing it out. My old website was hosted with ghost but I’ve since created a new website using WordPress and now use .com.
theeeview.com is the new link.
Thank you for your support I also now have a few FPGA courses available 🙂
Glenn
Thanks Glenn — I just updated the link in the blog also 🙂
Thanks chaps, interesting site Glenn!
