I just finished my first year as an Electrical and Electronics Engineering student and I'm looking for ways to boost my skills during the upcoming semester break. I have some foundational knowledge in Arduino and have tackled simple projects, like building a basic robotic arm. Now, I'm wondering what kinds of projects I should take on to really develop my understanding of electronics and circuitry. Any advice or suggestions on learning resources or projects would be super helpful!

A great way to improve is to start by disassembling old electronics to see how they work. Grab some discarded parts for practice and dedicate some time to honing your soldering skills. Plus, maybe try fixing something—it's a hands-on way to learn!
Check out this book I found: https://amzn.eu/d/eBxiTTI. It provides solid insights. Plus, get an ESP32 and an Arduino kit from Amazon—it's a fantastic way to practice your soldering and circuit-building skills!
While you're learning, I suggest spending some time researching companies in the field. Create a list using Excel or your preferred software, noting down their projects, the software they use, and any contacts you find. This can be really useful when you're looking for jobs later!
