You need a practical project, just like with programming. Think of something that should exist, but doesn't, or where the existing solutions are inadequate. Make it happen! Some patterns to avoid in this domain specifically, based on your concern: - Keyboards (I don't know why this has become a meme, but it has) - Maker communities - E-paper display devices. Some ideas, if you do plan to do this as more of a learning project: - PCB design - Getting comfortable programming a variety of MCUs. Get out of your comfort zone - IC baby? Try making simple analog circuits just so you're comfortable with them - Getting good at integrating firmware design with electronics design
