Please give me some advices

[QuocNam]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently a university student pursuing a degree in Control and Automation Engineering. I would like to seek advice from experienced professional engineers, or those who have at least had practical experience in this field, regarding a book titled "Electric Circuits," 10th edition, by James W. Nilsson and Susan Riedel. The contents of the book’s chapters are as follows:

1. Circuit Variables
2. Circuit Elements
3. Simple Resistive Circuits
4. Techniques of Circuit Analysis
5. The Operational Amplifier
6. Inductance, Capacitance, and Mutual Inductance
7. Response of First-Order RL and RC Circuits
8. Natural and Step Responses of RLC Circuits
9. Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis
10. Sinusoidal Steady-State Power Calculations
11. Balanced Three-Phase Circuits
12. Introduction to the Laplace Transform
13. The Laplace Transform in Circuit Analysis
14. Introduction to Frequency Selective Circuits
15. Active Filter Circuits
16. Fourier Series
17. The Fourier Transform
18. Two-Point Circuits

My question is: Do I need to learn all the material from every chapter of this book in order to perform the tasks of a Control and Automation Engineer? Additionally, what steps should I take in my learning journey?

I sincerely appreciate any guidance or suggestions you can provide.

I wouldn't hire a professional who had refused to learn the basics of electronics.

"Are you the sort of person that takes advice?"

You can save time by only reading every other page.

The contents look basic and seem obsolete until you have a job to do and nobody to tell you what an op amp is, and the main board is full of 'em, your management just booked a resupply order and the one you see has been obsolete for over 5 years.

I predict that you, your future employer and their customers will all be unhappy if you don't find a career that interests you enough to learn one bit of one bit of what it entails.
