Payment: You'll receive compensation for any article we accept for publication.
Writing Help: Our editors will help you refine your writing skills and turn a rough draft into a publication-ready article. We work with engineers from around the globe and from all disciplines represented in the EE field.
A Global Audience: If you want to reach a lot of people, we have the platform you've been looking for. Even if you only submit one article, you'll have your own author page that includes a short bio and can link to a personal website or social media account.
Working engineers, professors, postdocs, and retired industry experts all contribute to our vast portfolio of content.
Apply NowWe publish four types of articles:
Technical Articles: Help practicing engineers and engineering students understand key concepts and solve problems they come across in the real world.
Projects: Build a physical system that interests you and share the results with the rest of the EE community.
News: Keep the All About Circuits audience informed about new products and the state of the industry.
Industry Articles: Company-contributed articles catering to professional electrical engineers.
If you are a company interested in contributing an industry article to All About Circuits, please reach out to us at industryarticles@eetech.com. Otherwise, read on for fuller descriptions of our other three content types.
These articles address a particular concept, methodology, or challenge in electrical engineering that will help your peers develop their understanding of the EE field. As a writer, you can pitch topics you feel passionate about or work with our editorial team to ideate a topic that will fill a content gap. Good topics might include:
Introductions to either high-level theory or advanced concepts in specific disciplines.
Tutorials and guides on how to use relevant tools and programs.
Analysis of specific circuits or design elements.
Exploration of component- and semiconductor-level considerations.
We encourage you to write as though you are conversing with a peer or mentee.
Below are some examples of published technical articles:
Project articles serve as walkthroughs for the creation of a hardware system and the associated software for operation. The goal is for another engineer to learn how you approached your design, including how you tackled challenges you came across in the design process. This will give them the opportunity to either repeat your project or make a new version of it with different features.
Here are some examples of published projects:
Craft Your Own Hardware Soundboard Using an Arduino Microcontroller
Using a Raspberry Pi Pico to Enhance a Vintage Radio Shack Microcomputer Kit
A Simple Procedure for Creating Any Resistance Using Standard Resistors
