logan_dslasher Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 during the college entrance exam, i passed an engineering course, Geothermal engineering. then, there is this scholarship that doesn't cover the GeoEng.. electronics was my first choice from the list of courses covered by the scholarship. when i was a little kid, i used to tinker with my toys and that quite got me hooked up with electronics from there...

Theatronics Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I was taught the basics by my father, When I was young (8 or 9) he had a Ham Radio rig. I started with Tubes and my first active device project was a triode AM radio. It was basicly a crystal radio with a triode acting as a amplifer to drive a speaker. As I remember, it was not all that loud but it glowed and made noise, how much more could a kid ask for?-Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defaced Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 My interest sparked in 5th grade when out teacher was teaching physics. Basically two batteries a light and a switch what what we worked with in class, then we had a project where we had to build a flashlight out of a toilet paper roll. Really cool project for a 5th grader. From there I hooked an it's been a minor hobby of mine ever since. I would have liked to minor in it, but it's not offered at my school. Luckily my major (welding engineering @ OSU) has a strong electronics part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogo2520 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hello I started in electronics amost 30 years ago but had to switch to something I could make money at. I can Paint, Weld , Do auto body work, Done construction work, Sold tires ha, Can drive a semi and drove cross country for awhile. But I am getting old so I took a maintenance job at an amusement center. This the best job I have every had. I get to use all my skills. And this is what got me back into electronics, we have a haunted house a good one. I get to set up the rooms and work with the props. Some use microlcontrollers, that got me into using pic's. and that got me back into electronics. Whats nice is now I have time to do what I want, always had the what if problem. Have fun gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
