For students pursuing some courses related to Hardware Design

Are you a student looking for the opportunity to learn Hardware desing?

Firstly, I would like to recall, what I did when I was a student.
I was searching for the big companies websites like Intel, Samsung, Panasonic, ARM, etc., whichever I came to hear about...
Then, I have started applying for the Jobs intended for freshers, in the careers page.
That, LinkedIn was there, but I didn't know what for it was used for..
But, nothing helped, I ended up wasting much time in searching for the opportunities.

But fortunately, I got into a complete Product based firm, as a Hardware Engineer just though a campus selection process.

But, this is not the case for all the people. What all are the stuffs which may help you?

  1. Start mingling with People, grow your people network.
  2. Start contributing in Opensource community.
  3. Start doing projects on your own - or try some design level things at-least.
  4. Start advertise yourself with your innovations... Such that companies must approach you seeing the profile strength 
 This is kind of sequence to be followed.
You have try communicating with people, both with personal approach - more like a friend and professional approach - asking for the doubts, help to learn stuffs. People can be from anywhere in this world, you can try approaching them through Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / LinkedIn or anything.

There are many open source communities, where contests are being held. You can participate in that and improve your thoughts, skills and approach.

Ultimately, you will be doing some new projects then.

And on adding above all the stuffs to your profile, you can show off you skills and get some more people looking for you. who knows, there are possibilities, you may introduce new product, new design, get recruited in a great company, or you can become an entrepreneur, you can become a great tutor, you can become someone like Elon Musk...

Everything is fine, what if you don't get help from people.
There some tutorial in Udemy / Coursera / Udacity/ like that - but this may be bit costlier for a student to afford.
So, If you are reading this, and need help, you can also approach me..
Still, I you need some other option, you can start browsing more on the topic on which you have doubts.. You can refer some YouTube video to get to learn about the working of a product / component / design..


Okay.. But finally, what are the open source communities, where you can participate and win contests..?
