Engineering electromagnetics

"This text not only provides students with a good theoretical understanding of the electromagnetic field equations, it also treats a large number of applications. In fact, no topic is presented unless it is directly applicable to engineering design or unless it is needed for the understanding of another topic. In electrostatics, for example, the text includes discussions of photocopying, ink-jet printing, electrostatic separation and deposition, paint spraying, and powder coating. In magnetism, the applications discussed include electric motors and generators, permanent magnets, nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic recording, and electromagnetic braking. Magnetic forces, torque, and magnetic energy are discussed in the context of electric motors and transformers; the applications discussed include linear induction motors, electromagnetic propulsion, magneto-hydrodynamic power generation, and nondestructive testing of materials. The discussion of electromagnetic waves includes such applications as the use of electromagnetic waves for materials processing, microwave detection of substances, remote sensing of the earth and its resources, applications of new materials, and the use of so-called stealth materials in aerospace systems." "More than 300 fully worked examples and 700 problems and exercises help students clarify and test their knowledge."--BOOK JACKET.

I have some recommendations for you as an EE graduate, you can club Digital Circuits and Systems, Embedded Systems and Digital Hardware with one book in one continuous course with

the book Digital Design and Computer Architecture by Harris and Harris (A RISC V Edition will release soon in 2-3 months, buy that one)

For Electronic circuits choose Microelectronics by Behzad Razavi. Instead of Purcell go for "Engineering Electromagnetics with Ida", it is more intuitive.

And th first book you should start with is "Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits"

Then you go for DDCA and Ida in parallel.

The list does give me head scrather, this is too broad to be ever accomplished. My recommendation to redo the list is first find out what piques your interest in EE, Digital hardware, analog hardware or control systems or embedded systems and try to have a self study focus in that concentration.

The way I see it with this plan you are setting yourself up for failure.

Edit:Removed the ditching recommendation as I see it relevant to OP's goals.

If you want to learn basics of Integrated electronics devices and circuits - I personally recommend 'Electronic Devices and circuits / Integrated Electronics by J. Millman and C. Halkias (This is actually a textbook)

In case you want to learn Engineering Electromagnetics, great textbook by William Hayt and John Buck

Haven't yet read any other awesome basic textbook on 'Computer Networks' like the one by Andrew S. Tanenbaum

'Digital Signal Processing' by Oppenheim and Schafer

Although these are not textbooks but among other good reads are 'Crossing the Chasm' by Geoffrey Moore, 'The Innovators Dilema' by C. M. Christensen, give amazing insights.

I was recommended Nathan Ida's Engineering Electromagnetics as being comprehensive in that all the necessary Mathematics is introduced in place as needed. Lookup the reviews for this book on the web.

Perhaps somebody who has read this book can comment in more detail.

For the purposes of learning antenna theory at the level of Balanis's 'Antenna Theory', I think Jackson is severely overkill. It's also written for physicists rather than engineers, so the emphasis is different. On the other hand, Jackson's problems are quite excellent. There's all kinds of interesting stuff in there that is hard to find in most other places (plasma physics and MHD come to mind). Something like Griffiths or Cheng will be just right. I studied Computer Engineering in undergrad, and worked through several books on electrodynamics at the time (and did several courses in EM), including Jackson. I didn't study RF, but my classmates in RF were all using Balanis for their RF and Antenna design courses, which clearly comes before the level of EM where most people are working (suffering?) through Jackson, or Balanis's 'Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics'.
