So I took up post graduate studies, knowing that I'm not really that good with electronics, I took the course with a slight influence of manufacturing and still majoring in electrical/electronics. I did better in manufacturing courses than the electrical/electronics which was supposed to be my strength for I have studied them the past 5 years.
I love electrical subjects more than electronics. Above all, both are the most difficult subjects ever in engineering because we can't see currents and voltages, so we only rely on the calculations itself.
As much as I hated electronics, I did my undergraduate final year project building a transistor. It was more on microelectronics and material science. Deposited a few different metals to develop thin film, performing the test for the transistor, well it sounded like it was complicated but we didn't even know what we were doing back then. Haha.
And now, as much as I hated electronics, I thought my master's research project would just solely be in form of software simulation using the existing commercially available circuit board. Boy I was wrong. I just learn that I need to build external circuitry, a filter, an amplifier, an excitation circuit and I don't know what else coming. Oh my, I need to buy the small electronics components, I need to do a lot of calculation, well perhaps it might be just a simple circuit to some but for me, this is major madness!
I always feel like I can't run away from electronics. All the time. It will keep on chasing me no matter how much I hated it.
Most of the time, we just have to face the challenges and problems.
