I am starting school for CE in the summer. I found this site and I want to gain some experience and knowledge in CE. I have some basic IT skills with computers, printers, mobile devices. I have played around with electronics and I know a bit about the components but I never but design anything. I also have a bit of a foundation with programming languages. I plan to get A+ certification as well. All I have been using so far is YouTube, Pluralsight, and ebooks. I want to feel like I'm in school.
What's a good CE course route on MIT? https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm
no idea what mit is going to show you, but you can't go too far wrong buying a microcontroller and setting it up do so something. There are a bunch of inexpensive home-play microcontroller setups out there now, and tons of project ideas on the web. You could contact a professor maybe, and ask what might be good to get started on? All I got from the link was gender issues in technology, whatever THAT means.
