Hello there,
As other people recommended several books I would recommend,
There is also a good website that references multiple books and talks about them, so you can actually have an idea about what they are talking about. The writer also points out for things like "If you are a beginner, this book is a better to start than that other book, because x y z"..
What is good about this site too is that it has links to Application Notes and tutorials, etc .. (Linear Technology, Texas Instruments, etc..) Magnificent content..
http://www.wisewarthog.com/
Also Lessons in Electric Circuits.. Not "deep" but gets you going..
Like others said, Horowitz.. A page here, another there...
I am in Electronics Engineering, with a specialty of Instrumentation .. Although I will probably work more in industrial environments (think SCADA, PLCs, DCS and that kind of stuff).
The system might be a bit different, I am from the old system Engineer.. It's a 5 years course .. Here's the Cursus, maybe it will you give you keywords to search for stuff...
+First year:
1-Analysis(Taylor, Cauchy, first order intergals, etc)
2-Algebra
3-Statistics and Probability
4-Physics(kinetics, kinematics, dynamics,,,electricity)
5-Chemistry (more of Bohr, Schrödinger, spectroscopy than actually "chemistry"... But also chemical equilibrium, ionic solutions, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics)
6-Industrial/Technical Drawing
7-Programming (Pascal)
+ Lab assignments for physics and chemistry
Second Year:
1-Differential equations/Calculus (Ricatti, Lagrange. Nth order differential equations, 1st,2nd and 3rd order integrals (Ostrogradsky, Stokes, Green, Gauss)
2-Numerical Analysis (Newton/Raphson, Gauss-Seidel, Jacobi, etc...Polynomial interpolation, extrapolation, etc)
3-Materials Resistance(Hook, Young, etc)
4-Rational Mechanics
5-Atomic & Nuclear Physics
6-Vibrations, Waves and Propagations(Lagrange formalism, mechanical/electrical analogies to study systems, and then acoustic vibrations and electromagnetism (Maxwell, etc))
7-Organic chemistry
8-Mineral chemistry
Lab assignemnts for Mineral Chemistry, Organic chemistry and Vibrations&Waves
Third Year : Students who have completed the two years chose a specialty (mechanical, electrical, etc...)
Four the third, fourth and fifth year: Lab assignments for all modules (i.e 6 modules + 6 lab assignements .. Lab assignments take 12 hours a week)
Third and fourth year, you do an internship in some corporation where you get to see how things happen..(Airline company in the control, telecom company, electronics appliances manufacturer, industrial environment, oil,etc)
1-Digital electronics
2-General Electronics (solid physics, rectifiers, amplifiers (push pull, differential), power sources
3-Measurment (techniques for measuring physical quantities, principles of instruments and equations)
4-General Electricity (electrical networks, Kennelly, Millman, Thevenin/Norton, machines (motors, generators, asynchronous/synchronous, continuous current/alternative current machines, transformers, etc..)
5-Control Theory (Laplace transform, stability, Ruth-Hurwitz, Bode, Black/Nichols abacus, correctors, state space.. Continuous control basically)
6-Programming (C)
Fourth year (Specialty chosing for electronics student, either Instrumentation, Control or Telecom .. All have 5 modules in common, and each has 2 modules of specialty.. So they only differ in 2 modules.
I have studied the specialty year of Control and then I'm studying Instrumentation:
Common modules:
-Signal processing (Fourier series and transform, Wiener-Kintchin, Parseval/Rayleigh, linear systems, z trasform, sampling, Nyquist/Shannon, stability, etc..
-Processor Architecture (Intel x86 + Assembly)
-Board manufacturing and physics of components.
-Electronic functions (multivibrators (with op-amps, logic gates(cmos, ttl), transistors and NE 555), sinusoïdal oscillators (Hartley, Colpitts) Wien and phasor network, modulation (am, angular (fm, etc)), conversion (Digital to Analog and vice-versa), impulsion techniques
Specialty modules for Instrumentation:
-Sensors technology (physics of sensors, types, gage constraints, piezoelectrical, etc,,,)
-Microelectronics (CMOS schematics, polysilicium, die, circuits optimisation) basically integrated circuits manufacturing.
Specialty modules for Control systems:
-Discrete control (z-transform, stability, Ruth-Hurwitz, Jury, Evans, Pontryagin, Ackermann, state space in z, controlability, obesrvability, correctors with several methods (RST, pole placement, etc)...
-Power Electronics:Rectifying mainly, thyristors, etc .. Machines..
I'm in 4th year. After that it's 5th year 7 several modules and final year project.
