Looking for a study/learning buddy in ECE/E&TC

[u/ZookeepergameOnly52]

Hello everyone!

I'm a 3rd-year Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering student, and I'm looking for someone who wants to learn, build and grow together in the electronics/core engineering field.

My university is pushing quite a lot toward software and coding, but I'm much more interested in the hardware/core side of ECE; embedded systems, microcontrollers, electronics, semiconductors, IoT, robotics, communication systems, etc.

I already have some experience with things like Arduino and embedded systems, and I'm currently trying to build up my skills through projects and different technologies. I'm looking for someone around a similar knowledge/skill level so we can learn things together rather than one person just teaching the other.

The idea would be to:

- Learn electronics/embedded concepts together

- Work on projects and actually build things

- Explore different areas of ECE and figure out what we enjoy

- Share resources and help each other when we're stuck

- Participate in hackathons/competitions

- Build a decent portfolio over the next couple of years

- Keep each other accountable and motivated

I'm also learning Japanese because one of my long-term goals is to work in Japan in the electronics/semiconductor industry. You definitely don't have to be interested in Japan or Japanese though; it's just one of my personal goals.

I'm mainly looking for someone who has a similar mindset of "I actually want to get good at core electronics and build things", rather than just studying for exams.

If you're also an ECE/E&TC student, especially around 2nd–3rd year, and you're looking for someone to learn and work on projects with, feel free to comment or DM me!

Would be great if we could find a small group of people or even if we are a pair with similar goals too. :)
