Hey readers, my identify is Aalyia (ah-lee-ah) Shaukat and I’ve simply joined the content material group at EDN as an affiliate editor. It has been a reasonably thrilling leap contemplating EDN’s legacy in digital design nicely earlier than I used to be born. As a matter of truth, EDN is almost twice my age.
My work in electrical engineering began in 2012 after I graduated from college and dabbled a bit in IC structure design whereas working with an organization in Rochester, New York. After this, my hometown of Queens, New York, was calling me. I spent my time in NYC working within the RF area for some ‘native’ corporations. Throughout this time, I realized a good quantity from some engineers that I’d take into account mentors. Nonetheless, for private causes, I needed to transfer on. I did a little bit of a lateral leap from the extra conventional {hardware} engineering to design engineering-centric publishing business. I’ve discovered that that is the place I’ve thrived essentially the most thus far.
I’ve transitioned from studying very particular abilities to serve area of interest engineering functions to a a lot wider perspective of the business as a complete. It’s been extremely informative. I’ve at all times loved doing analysis and I’ve at all times loved writing. Plus, I’m not a supremely social creature—I really like sitting at my desk for hours whereas studying with no individual in sight.
I’ve written on issues from 5G and Web of Issues (IoT) to analog and energy electronics. Even wrote a little bit of content material that was undoubtedly exterior of my wheelhouse, protecting aerospace, thermal, and mechanical engineering in addition to community safety and AI/ML. The listing runs on, however the gist of it’s that I actually get pleasure from studying and that’s what I really feel I’m already doing at EDN with all of the unimaginable coworkers and contributors.
At EDN, I’ve been studying the ropes and there’s lots to soak up between the contributed blogs, characteristic articles, and naturally the EDN-specific genres like ‘Design Concepts’ and ‘Tales from the Dice’. Fortunately, there’s a group of very succesful engineers and editors which have my again. I’ve been guided by the method of making among the weekly, bi-weekly, and month-to-month newsletters for EDN. These are tailor-made primarily based upon the near-constant replace of revealed content material from some pretty prolific contributors and engineering minds.
With that being stated, I’m very happy to help any engineer that’s concerned with submitting a design concept proposal or perhaps even desires to begin a brand new weblog sequence. The identical goes for the advertising and marketing of us at semiconductor corporations; I’m out there to collaborate on any article proposals. I’m at all times concerned with studying about new merchandise, reference designs, improvement platforms, and design toolsets. Just about something EE associated. Don’t hesitate to contact me.
Aalyia Shaukat, affiliate editor at EDN, has labored in design publishing business for six years. She holds a Bachelor’s diploma in electrical engineering from Rochester Institute of Expertise, and has revealed works in main EE journals in addition to commerce publications.
