Electronics Theory and Tutorials


Theory and Tutors in Electronics and Instrumentation :

Learning electronics in theory by studying books is the conventional way, this method may help in History and Maths. Maths needs a paper and pencil for practicals and history needs a well equipped Library. In these modern times, the web has made access to wide range of learning information easy, which is true Knowledge Empowerment. The greatest gift a Child can get from the Parents or School, is Knowledge.

As an Electronics Engineer i had always needed data sheets and application notes. The web makes these documents not only accessible to all, but searchable too. When i learnt to Google, with the multiple keywords and a magic handle --  filetype:pdf --, I had design and product data, at my beck and call.

Now coming back to Maths and History; a computer, some programs and the Internet can create a "Practicals" for these Subjects. In case of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics it is not so simple. You need to have many components and some test instruments and most important; a Soldering Iron to build-n-learn practically.

Some youngsters learn by breaking and fixing, toys and gadgets. Many learn by Making Home Garden Projects from Kits after reading Hobby DIY Magazines, this is a better way of learning. I started with DIY Science, including Magnetism and Electricity, rather than Electronics. I could work with an Iron only in High School.

Now many Virtual Electronics Workbench Software and Interactive Tutors are available, these aid learning. We have to design, build and apply some electronic ideas in 3D Hardware, for complimenting the Book, Academic or Web learning. Practical and Theoretical study in electronics has to be in Tandem, this is possible only when Industry works with Universities to create real talent and skills in students. The applied technology is evolving, hence the academic education must be relevant when the student gets into his first job.

Solderman Talks 1702 AD
"when you solder the windows should be opened, cross ventilation must be good, because the fumes are not very good for health. After you finish wash your hands with soap, as lead is poisonous or toxic"

The first four links lead to 33 pdf documents related to some products i used to manufacture. I have archived it here because i think it may give ideas.
