<p>Hi,
I'm a junior in high school. After months of thinking I decided possibly on electrical engineering. I don't really know what exactly it's going to be like... Is there a good intro book that will introduce me to a little of everything about it? Including electronics, and even some technical math ****. Also any advice to an aspiring EE? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The Art of Electronics is a great electronics textbook. As for advice, every engineer I have talked with says that liking math really helps for EE. </p>

<p>the art of electronics is probably too advanced...</p>

<p>yes! Horrowitz and Hill is a really great book on introductory electronics. I don't think its too advanced. It starts out with the basics, but it gets heavy quickly so watch out. Its a really great reference to have for all levels of EE</p>

<p>this is what we had to use @ ucsd for the very first course</p>

<p>the book for the "weeder class" lol:</p>

<p>I would just go to radio shack and buy a electronics lab kit, I think thats the best way to get an into.</p>

<p>Huh. That electronics kit sounds like a good idea. I think I'll do that over the summer.</p>
