My Quora answer on Which subjects are asked for an Intel internship from ECE people?

It depends. It depends on for which post you have applied or for which post you have been elected. Not only in Intel actually in any company when you go for interview either for the Intern or job they actually ask the questions related to the specific domain.


I will share one experience of mine, I was interviewed by Invecas company last month for the Analog design engineer post. Invecas is the core electronics company which provides Chip IP solutions to the Global foundries. The interview run around 1 hour. In the interview they asked the questions mostly from Microelectronics. The question were like-
  • Solving the circuit and find out the values of Transistors current.
  • Different amplifier Configuration
  • Biasing related questions
  • Steady state related questions
  • Current mirror concept based questions, Darlington Pair etc.
Intel is an MNC which have so many open posts for Interns like
  • Pre-Si emulation FPGA solution graduate Interns
  • Analog product development engineer intern
  • IP Logic design -SoC design Integration
and many more.
So i guess if you have applied for the analog section then the question will be similar as i have mentioned above. For the other domain also questions will be directly from the particular domain itself. So you should have a sound knowledge in subjects like Microelectronics, Networks, IC, Bode plot in control system , Digital logic design. You can read my following answer for Internship related doubts.
Hope it helps. Feel free to ask anything.

What programming languages does an ECE student have to learn?

Electronics & Communication branch can be considered as a  combo of CS & ECE both. Because here one can learn Computer Programming as well as Electronics software both. Hence he will have more opportunities because of it. Here I have described some software’s which are related with ECE field: LAB VIEW-  Lab view is the software course which is basically for those who don’t want to learn the coding and hesitates to use it. In labview we can perform all the main tasks like Image processing, Video processing, Embedded or sensor interfacing etc. only by using some predefined structures in it. and those structures are very easy to learn. But the trade off here is that you have to compromise with its performance. Optimized performance not Ideal! Matlab-  Matlab is the course which is basically choose by those students who want to make their career in research field. Its a very vast software and having a good knowledge on its each tool is really appreciable. But v...

What are the differences and similarities between CSE and ECE?

“Difference & similarities both are up to the individual that at what extent he want to learn.” I will start here with similarities. See either it’s ECE or CSE both are Considered as one of the best Branches and elected by mostly Top Rankers. Now lets dive and find that what is similar in these two branches- Programming:  It is something that is Common between both the branches. While one might argue that CSE is totally related with programming while ECE is not. So as i said earlier that it is upto the student that how much he want to learn. If i talk here only in reference of syllabus than ECE student only have to studies C, C++ as a computer programming. But i have seen some students who learn Python, HTML, CSS, Java Script, Big data, Java etc. despite belong to the ECE Branch. I can give my example as well that i am an ECE student but i learn HTML, CSS, MySql by itself and created my website. So its totally depend on Individual that how much he is hungry for learni...

What are the simple businesses for startups this year?

There are so many ideas on which work can be carried out & now a days most of the graduates are working on these ideas. But the important thing here is that  in which field your ardent interest falls . You can start working in any field, You could also have a fantastic idea but if your interest does’t fall in that then you will sabotage it quite easily. Never think that your idea is quite common and any one can steal it . No not at all. Let us suppose For a moment why anyone have not produced yet another google/facebook/apple etc despite we have one of the best programmers all across the world. Because of their unique selling property. Its the quality of your product which anyone can not produce. And you can only bring that quality in your product if you do your work with full interest. So Idea could be anything but make sure that you have lot of interest in that. So when you will work on that idea then it will create the history.  Here i will suggest some of t...
