What's your thoughts on it?

Very interested to see it being in my final year of EE.

Chris, Many available through abebooks, should only add another ~$30 to student debt.

Ashby   Electrical Engineering 101, Second Edition: Everything You Should Have Learned in School...but Probably Didn't

Derivative of a curriculum intended to put a man on the moon, and beat those @!&%##@!# damned communists?

Or more geared toward real world, important stuff, like, you know,........fuzz pedals 'n stuff?

looks like future required reading for me thanks

Here's the description:
==============================
Written by an expert electronics engineer who enjoys teaching the practical side of engineering, this book covers all the subjects that a beginning EE needs to know: intuitive circuit and signal analysis, physical equivalents of electrical components, proper use of an oscilloscope, troubleshooting both digital and analog circuits, and much more! Even engineers with years in the industry can benefit from the compendium of practical information provided within.

CONTENTS:
Chapter 0: What is Electricity Really?
Chapter 1: Three Things They Should Have Taught in Engineering 101
Chapter 2: Basic Theory
Chapter 3: Pieces Parts
Chapter 4: The Real World
Chapter 5: Tools
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
Chapter 7: Touchy-Feely Stuff
Appendix

*Covers the engineering basics that have been either left out of a typical engineer?s education or forgotten over time
*No other book offers a wealth of "insider information" in one volume, specifically geared to help new engineers and provide a refresher for those with more experience
============================
That was good enough to have a go look at. It's available used, I believe. Maybe elsewhere.
