Electronic Engineering for Fun
Building things for fun
The modern world is completely dependent on electronic engineering. Gadgets fills our kitchens and our living rooms. We carry them in our pockets and they runs our cars, buses and trains. Electronic engineers want to build things to make our life easier or more fun, to solve problems and make the world work better. Electronic engineering isn't just about the gadgets though but also about the invisible infrastructure that those gadgets depend on - the mobile phone networks and the Internet, satellites and antenna.
ee4fn is all about electronic engineering, computer hardware and physical computing. It's the place to be if you want to build things for the fun of it. It's also the place to be if you want to build things to change the way we all live our lives.
