Tool Multimeter
Electrical Engineering Supplies?
I'm a freshman in college as an EE. Curious as to what tools I will need to purchase during my college career. I have already dished out for the following major components:
digital soldering iron with multiple tips and stand up to 900*F
decent digital multimeter
250 feet of various gauge wires
strippers/pliers/shrink wrap/etc
sorting binds
My parents are asking me what I want for Christmas and I need an idea or two haha.
Oh, wow, did you waste your money!
I guess the multimeter might be OK for general use, but still, it's way overkill.
You probably won't do any soldering until your first EE lab, and that's probably not until your sophomore year. Everything you need will be included in the lab. And it's likely you'll never solder again, as that's hardly the focus of EE. Usually breadboards and wire wrap are used for building and prototyping.
What you've got might be appropriate for an electronics technician, but not an electrical engineering student. You would have been better off getting a nice laptop or scientific calculator.
Seriously, if you think what you bought is what EE is about, you had better really question what EE is and what you want do be doing.
