To many of us, electricity can still seem like the "magic" our ancestors imagined it to be when they saw it in the natural world. But the science of electricity is considerably more amazing than magic, as you'll see in the 24 fascinating lectures of Electrical Engineering for Everyone. With dozens of live demonstrations, along with explanatory graphics and video, Dr. Laura J. Bottomley brings you on the amazing journey of electrical engineering, the discipline that has taken us from the electric lightbulb to interstellar space to artificial intelligence in less than 150 years
