Is Electrical Engineering for me?

Power the Lantern on paper: circuits, an energy budget, batteries, a solar design and a first university topic. The goal: find out whether Electrical/Electronic Engineering is the degree for you.

The whole curriculum map

Aligned towards WASSCE, NUC CCMAS, COREN, every alignment in review. A Level 11–13 taster that assumes school algebra and trigonometry. It ends with a first-year university topic; the full solar topic continues to village mini-grids at Level 15–16.

The route, stop by stop.

In the order a learner would take it. Prerequisites from outside the pathway are assumed known, or cleared by a Challenge Test.
