Electrical Engineering Course Curriculum

9 modules across 3 levels.

Intermediate

Intermediate Electrical Engineering

Start with Circuit theory, Analogue electronics and Digital logic. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Electrical Engineering becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Glossary

Circuit theory

A central idea in the intermediate Electrical Engineering path, covered in the module of the same name.

Example: apply Circuit theory to a small, familiar case step by step, then check your reasoning against the walkthrough.

Analogue electronics

A central idea in the intermediate Electrical Engineering path, covered in the module of the same name.

Example: apply Analogue electronics to a small, familiar case step by step, then check your reasoning against the walkthrough.

Digital logic

A central idea in the intermediate Electrical Engineering path, covered in the module of the same name.

Example: apply Digital logic to a small, familiar case step by step, then check your reasoning against the walkthrough.

About the Electrical Engineering curriculum

The Electrical Engineering curriculum is a complete, self-paced course in engineering, organised into 3 progressive levels and 9 modules. It opens with Foundations of Circuit theory and Core methods in Analogue electronics, moves through Applying Digital logic and finishes with expert-level work on Leading practice in Microcontrollers and Mastering Embedded design.

Across the whole path you work through 27 individual topics — from Circuit theory and Putting circuit theory to work at the start to Hands-on: embedded design and Checking your understanding of embedded design by the end. The levels are estimated at 6 weeks · about 24 hours, 8 weeks · about 32 hours and 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Each level assumes the one before it, so you can work straight through from Intermediate to Expert, or start at the level that matches what you already know.

It is written for developers, engineers and career-switchers who want one structured route instead of scattered tutorials. Because the work is judged by what you can build, the path leans on projects: each level ends with a brief you complete yourself, then compare against the guided walkthrough.

Every module pairs a written summary with a worked example, a short quiz to check the idea landed, and a project brief drawn from real practice. You are never asked to take a concept on trust: the reasoning, the common mistakes and the situations where the approach stops working are all laid out, so you finish a module able to explain the idea rather than only recognise it.

What you’ll be able to do

By the end of the Electrical Engineering path you should be able to work confidently with:

Circuit theory

Putting circuit theory to work

Checking your understanding of circuit theory

Analogue electronics

Hands-on: analogue electronics

Checking your understanding of analogue electronics

Digital logic

Putting digital logic to work

How the Electrical Engineering curriculum is structured

Intermediate 6 weeks · about 24 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Intermediate Electrical Engineering

Start with Circuit theory, Analogue electronics and Digital logic. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Electrical Engineering becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Modules: Foundations of Circuit theory · Core methods in Analogue electronics · Applying Digital logic

  • Circuit theory: This module treats Circuit theory as a tool: the question it answers, what it assumes, and what a correct use of it looks like in Electrical Engineering.
  • Putting circuit theory to work: Circuit theory is introduced from first principles, with the few terms you actually need and an example that shows how the idea behaves in practice.
  • Checking your understanding of circuit theory: This module treats Circuit theory as a tool: the question it answers, what it assumes, and what a correct use of it looks like in Electrical Engineering.

Project: Write a one-page explanation of Circuit theory in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

Advanced 8 weeks · about 32 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Advanced Electrical Engineering

Build on the intermediate level through Signals & systems, Electromagnetics and Power systems. The emphasis shifts from knowing the ideas to choosing between them — trade-offs, failure modes and the reasoning behind each decision.

Modules: In depth Signals & systems · Patterns and trade-offs in Electromagnetics · Scaling Power systems

  • Signals & systems: The module examines Signals & systems closely, including the assumptions beneath it and what changes when those assumptions stop holding.
  • Hands-on: signals & systems: Here Signals & systems becomes a design decision. You compare alternatives, justify a choice and test it against a harder problem.
  • Checking your understanding of signals & systems: The module examines Signals & systems closely, including the assumptions beneath it and what changes when those assumptions stop holding.

Project: Produce a short case analysis in which Signals & systems drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

Expert 10 weeks · about 40 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Expert Electrical Engineering

Work at the edge of Electrical Engineering through Control systems, Microcontrollers and Embedded design. The modules assume fluency and ask for judgement: designing, critiquing and defending work at a professional standard.

Modules: Frontiers of Control systems · Leading practice in Microcontrollers · Mastering Embedded design

  • Control systems: This module asks you to critique and extend Control systems rather than simply apply it, producing work another expert could review.
  • Hands-on: control systems: At expert level Control systems is treated as a field of judgement: current practice, contested positions and the evidence behind each.
  • Checking your understanding of control systems: This module asks you to critique and extend Control systems rather than simply apply it, producing work another expert could review.

Project: Write a professional-standard brief on Control systems — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.

How to study Electrical Engineering, phase by phase

  1. 1

    Phase 1 — Intermediate

    Set aside around 6 weeks · about 24 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with Foundations of Circuit theory and Core methods in Analogue electronics.

  2. 2

    Phase 2 — Advanced

    Set aside around 8 weeks · about 32 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with In depth Signals & systems and Patterns and trade-offs in Electromagnetics. Finish the phase by completing the project brief: Produce a short case analysis in which Signals & systems drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

  3. 3

    Phase 3 — Expert

    Set aside around 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Work through 3 modules, starting with Frontiers of Control systems and Leading practice in Microcontrollers. Finish the phase by completing the project brief: Write a professional-standard brief on Control systems — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.

  4. 4

    Phase 4 — Consolidate

    Return to the sections that felt weakest, redo their quizzes from memory, and rebuild the Write a one-page explanation of Circuit theory in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist. without following along. Explaining Electrical Engineering to someone else in plain language is the clearest signal that the Expert level has landed.

Once you have finished, the Electrical Engineering path is a reasonable foundation for software engineering, technical consulting and product roles. Because the curriculum is generated and kept as a structured outline rather than fixed videos, you can revisit any module, regenerate the outline at a different depth, or save it to your library and work through it over weeks rather than in one sitting.
