How would one find a good source for getting news, inspiration and help for engineering projects? Going through piles of books takes a lot of time and effort. Endless Googling can be very time consuming as well… After all these hours spent online searching for interesting content, we thought: “Wouldn’t it be great to have all the top resources grouped into this one convenient blog post?”
So, we rolled up our sleeves and prepared this list of the top electrical engineering websites. Every true electrical engineer will want these bookmarked for later sessions. You will find ideas for your future projects, help with projects you seem to be stuck with and a great base of knowledge you are yet to consume.
