My self-study plan for electrical engineering

I feel attacked. I'm a DSP engineer and I haven't implemented an analog filter since I graduated. If we got into detail on RC filter gain and phase shift I'd fail. Do I have to give my EE degree back?

No, but you at least realize an analog filter is a thing that exists. You don't remember the specifics, but you could study them if you needed to.

As an EE you should know what goes in front of ADC to avoid aliasing.

I think it depends on what is meant by details. For a DSP engineer, if details are not knowing the difference between and RC made with ceramic or film cap, I’d give a pass there. If details are not solving continuous time equations in the form 1/s, that’s probably a fail.

or you buy a basic building block ADC and follow instructions.

Don't the software methods have very similar problems?
