EE ??? Intro to Electronics Breadboarding, Basic spice, Soldering, test equipment EE ??? Intro to Computers Hardware basics, OS basics, Software basics EE ??? Intro to Engendering Math Algebra, Geometry, Trig Eadthem 05:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC) class descriptions i think it would be nice to have these on all ower classes i've put 4 out there already so you can see what it would look like or at least 1 idea for it. Also there are some classes that are less than clear exactly what thay cover and there pages arnt created yet. I suggest rather than start on them just to have a this is what this covers, on a page, putting a description below the class link this way if we need to alter the names of pages it wont take a move+redirect. Then we can make the pages when we have actual content to place on them. Eadthem 05:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC) for presveration shuld we decide to go back Level 0 the following at level 0 are here for ideas on the talk page. EE 001 Introduction to Engineering Principles Engineering throughout history,engineering types,engineering job market,expectations and ethics, PE Licensing and other certifications EE 005 Introduction to Computers Hardware principles,basic operating and file system usage,introductory software usage and design EE ??? Intro to Engendering Math Algebra, Geometry, Trig EE 090 Introduction to Electronics Basic Electric definition and principles,basic measuring devices,introductory breadboarding and solid state devices, basic spice, soldering and schematic basics Eadthem 08:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC) class nav template i've suggested a basic layout for page names and made a template for class pages its in use in the EE111 class. full class name/full lecture name EE_111_Digital_Electronics/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops Eadthem 05:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC) class name proposal I talked to jwschmidt and couple others on irc and a lot of people don't like the class number/name system for pages current system classes EE 111 Digital Electronics lectures EE_111_Digital_Electronics/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops advantages easy for someone who is trying to learn in classes pages show in order by department(in the categorys) problems apparently confusing to a lot of people. others also wouldn't be to hard to follow along in classes if they are done right. proposed system 1 this is what i have been using lately. classes EE_Digital Electronics lectures EE_Digital_Electronics/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops advantages pages show in order by department(in the categorys) problems maby little confusing at first? likely not a prob to someone interested in the field proposed system 2 classes Digital_Electronics_EE lectures Digital_Electronics_EE/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops advantages pages show in order by class and you can still tell witch department there related to(in the categorys) problems maby little confusing at first? likely not a prob to someone interested in the field proposed system 3 classes Digital_Electronics lectures Digital_Electronics/Lecture_6%2C_Flip-flops advantages like wikipedia problems like wikipedia perhaps makes it harder for someone to say learn on here as they would in univeristy (more of difference only to class names) possible name collisions "analog electronics" for engineering "analog electronics" for techichan (electron flow / hole flow hole vr electron see the find out why's) ideas thoughts comments??? Eadthem 00:48, 2 October 2007 (UTC) online resources United States Navy Electronic Training Course Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Thank you guys! this is great website! I have learned much from it, and also, this MIT free online website may do some helps. Please contact them if anyone need any source...

Please comment on face lift for the department. Colour scheme can be discussed as well. Thanx! Thuvack 10:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC) I was thinking PCB green the black on dark purple isnt working thow hard to read Eadthem 23:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC) PCB Green sounds good, Anyboy-else with other suggestion. If this is the only suggestion after a week, then I'll change Box-headers to PCB Green. -Thuvack 15:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC) Y Done- What should we change the background colour to, I dont think lavender goes well with PCB green. - Thuvack 12:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC) well theres 2 shades of PCB green copper PCB greenMask PCB green althow those colors prob arnt best, generally a PCB will use thick white lettering for all labels and text. If you really wanted to implement PCB green you should have masked copper as the headers and mask green as the body and white font with no flourishes say aerial witch wiki already uses.Eadthem 11:59, 11 May 2008 (UTC) Please have a look at this proposed School Face lift. It incorporates catergorisation and course wish list on sub pages. Also Department news are moved to a sub page. Please see this discussion for clarity on motivations towards this standardisation. I will wait a week for comments before implementing this change.;-)Thuvack 05:47, 17 July 2008 (UTC) Y Done -- Please comment--Thuvack | talk | Blog 11:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC) TALK PAGE MERGER I have merged the old talk page at topic_talk:electronic engineering with the talk on this page. the old talk is now in the School talk:Electronic engineering before merger page. the old archive that was on the page has been moved to School talk:Electronic engineering 2006. some of the current talk on this page can be archived as well under a new subpage of this page. Eadthem 16:20, 19 April 2009 (UTC) A little confused... When I look at what Electrical Engineers and Electronic Engineers do, it seems almost if not the exact same. The question that I have is, if you major in Electrical Engineering in college, would you learn everything that you need for Electronic Engineering and when you begin to "job-hunt," would you just choose your dicipline for Electronic Engineering? Thanks. CRBR 19:41, 28 November 2009 (UTC) It is almost exactly the same and most insitutions keep them fully together. What we have on WV is electronics engineering reffering to digital, communcations, computing, and signals. as well as some power managment and support of them. For electrical engineering the focus is more on power transmission and power management, and industrial power. it would cover mains wireing, power distrabution, motor control, lighting. IIRC the electrical engienering school was started by some peopole who had extensive knowolage about that focus. The division was mantained somewhat as a failure to decide or conceve of how exactly they could be effectively combined, so it was decided to keep them seperate and share some content as apropreate.Eadthem 00:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC) MOVE/RENAME PROPOSED So i proposed and tried to get started a move from school:electronics to school:electronic engineering based on the fact that the content, page titles, links to the page all address it and are centerd around Electronic Engineering. The discussion is on Wikiversity:Request_custodian_action#page_delete_or_move_for_School:Electronics_to_School:Electronic_engineering due to a issue with the target page.
