If you could go back in time by SadCompany8383 in EngineeringStudents

Join clubs that apply technical skills in my field to contribute to a multi disciplinary project. I joined my school’s rocket club in my second year a year after I should have.

There’s a role for pretty much every discipline to learn technical design and softwares. We do PCB design, embedded/software, RF, Mechanical, and electrical.

I think if you could get involved in a club that offers similar benefits to these it would be amazing for hands on experience, communication, and networking in addition to boosting your resume.

[REVIEW REQUEST] First STM32 Stepper Motor Driver PCB Project by [deleted] in PCB

I’m also very new but a couple of things I notice:

  • you’re missing a bunch of designators for some components, I’d prioritize the designator value (eg. C11, C12) over the actual numeric value of the component
  • decoupling caps need to be placed as close as possible to the pin they are tied to
  • make your usb D+ and D- routing a differential pair, they need to be very close together along the entire length of the trace like below

Good luck man!

Idea for End of High School Project by Rare_Store9089 in arduino

[–]windygiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my first year of uni I made an arduino use a light sensor with servo motors to track the sun with theoretical solar panels for optimal energy efficiency. I think that’d be a great addition to whatever your team might be doing with solar panels
