- Interesting Topics:
- Building electrical intuition through mechanical analogies and units
- Moving from basic circuit theory to the behavior of real components
- Treating real-world design constraints as part of electrical engineering
- Using tools and troubleshooting to turn theory into evidence
- Including communication and professional judgment in the engineering curriculum

Electrical Engineering 101: Everything You Should Have Learned in School...but Probably Didnt is a practical introductory guide to electronics and electrical engineering by Darren Ashby. Rather than functioning as a conventional, equation-heavy textbook, it is designed to connect foundational theory with the decisions, tools, components, and working habits encountered in actual engineering work. The book begins with the basic question of what electricity is, then moves through theory, individual parts, real-world design concerns, tools, troubleshooting, and workplace communication. Its stated purpose is to address knowledge that formal courses may treat too quickly, too abstractly, or not at all. Ashby emphasizes causal understanding: readers are encouraged to see what voltage, current, resistance, components, and circuits are doing rather than merely apply formulas. The third edition also broadens its scope to include topics such as microcontrollers, FPGAs, surface-mount technology, high-speed design, and board layout. It is therefore best understood as a bridge between classroom fundamentals and practical electronic design.
