Practical electrical engineering from an engineering perspective — without the unnecessary university math. Built for electricians, technicians, CAD designers, and working engineers who want to understand why systems work, how to design them, and how to make engineering decisions.
16 modules and 9 complete real-project design packages, with worked calculations, drawings, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
Electrical quantities, AC vs. DC, power, energy, frequency, phase, power factor — and why each one matters in a real system, not just what it is.
How engineers actually select breakers, transformers, relays, fuses, contactors, conductors, and busbars — ratings, failure modes, and judgment calls.
The program’s hallmark module — 24 concept pairs from grounding vs. bonding to breaker trip curves, each explained with real engineering depth.
One-lines, three-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, ladder diagrams, panel schedules, riser diagrams, and construction drawings — how engineers read them.
Where electricians become engineers — load calculations, voltage drop, short circuit, conductor/breaker sizing, transformer and generator sizing, grounding.
NEC, IEEE, NFPA, NEMA, and UL — why each one exists, not just what it says, and how they interact on a real design.
From utility to receptacle — service, transformer, main switchboard, distribution, panelboards, feeders, branch circuits, equipment.
Real diagnostic scenarios — think like an engineer, not "replace the breaker." Symptoms, diagnosis, testing, resolution.
Specifications, submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, commissioning, inspection, and punch lists from the engineer’s side.
A 200A all-electric residence — service sizing, EV charger circuit, and the simplest project with real design decisions.
A 48-unit multifamily building — demand-factor-driven service design, individual metering, and house/common loads.
The program’s baseline commercial project — every later project deviates from this distribution chain in a specific, named way.
Standby generation for life safety, emergency/legally-required standby classification, and egress lighting circuiting.
NEC 517 essential electrical system — normal, life safety, critical, and equipment branches, with N+1 generator redundancy.
A 13.8kV unit substation feeding MCC-driven process motors — harmonics, power factor correction, and arc-flash boundaries.
Unattended critical infrastructure — VFD-driven pumps, standby generation, and remote SCADA monitoring in place of an operator.
A Tier III facility — N+1 UPS topology, generator plant redundancy, and critical-vs-mechanical load separation.
A 13.8kV distribution substation at the boundary of electrical and power systems engineering — one-lines, switchgear, protective relaying.
Real workflows with AutoCAD, Revit, ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, Bluebeam, and Excel — how the tools actually chain together on a project.
Thinking like an engineer, working with engineers, design reviews, technical reports, common mistakes, and realistic career pathways.
A downloadable kit of 12 real project templates, from load calculation worksheets to commissioning checklists.
A final design assignment, drawing-interpretation and troubleshooting exercises, a grading rubric, and your certificate of completion.
12 real project templates — load calculation, voltage-drop, and short-circuit study worksheets, panel schedule and one-line diagram checklist, conductor & breaker sizing and grounding & bonding worksheets, transformer & generator sizing worksheet, submittal log, RFI, punch list, and a commissioning & acceptance testing checklist. Available for download from Module 15 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: CAD blocks, Revit families, and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
