This course presents the essentials of Electronics engineering and Hardware
Design for software engineers. The course is a complete tour of the fundamentals
of electrical engineering. It will enable the software engineer that works with
an electronics engineer’s better communicate and understand the electrical
engineering when working on a common project. The course presents examples of
all the learning material.
