I am interested in learning electrical engineering, but I am unable to
attend a local college for various reasons (first being distance) and
I am a bit dubious of an online college for such a involved field.
I have had some previous college many years ago including calculus
through diff equ., physics, optics, english, and even one course in
electromagetics, but everything is very rusty and I have some doubts
it will be as easy as getting back on a bike.
I already have a basic understanding of electronics. I understand
Kirchoff's laws, know how to bias a transistor amplifier, design
simple op-amp circuits, and a decent understanding of digital
electronics including several microcontrollers. What I don't have is
a firm grasp of electromagnetics and RF. I want an engineer's
understanding of this, not just a cookbook knowledge of a few
circuits.
I purchased the third edition of John D. Kraus' Electromagnetics and I
plan to work through the entire book but I am unsure if I will be able
to obtain a complete understanding without an extensive review of
calculus and possibly other resources I do not know about.
If you were to try and self teach electrical engineering, where would
you start?
Thanks for any help,
Roland
