Course Description

This online course teaches you the basics of electronic, electrical, and systems engineering. The course will cover both everyday circuits such as the pick-ups used for musical instruments and out-of-this world circuits such as those used in space. You will learn how to analyze and design digital and analog circuits and systems and you'll also be able to use technical vocabulary in English. Understanding how electrical engineering systems are used in particular contexts will help you communicate engineering ideas confidently. Although the Educators will not be able to participate in the discussions or respond to individual comments A, the course fosters a strong learning community. This course encourages discussion, learning from other learners, and sharing your knowledge and experience with others. This course is designed to allow you to interact with other learners and learn from them. Do not forget to comment on other learners' posts and to like them.

This course is offered in English and Mandarin transcripts.
