Wtf does this do

engineering-video-courses is a curated list of free engineering lecture videos from universities around the world. Instead of being a software tool, it is a well-organized directory that points you to full courses recorded at institutions like MIT, UC Berkeley, Delft University of Technology, and Caltech. The project works by simply collecting and categorizing links to publicly available video playlists on platforms like YouTube and iTunes U. It is broken down into fields such as General, Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, and Chemical/Civil Engineering. Under Electrical Engineering, for example, it goes a step further and organizes courses by sub-disciplines like Circuits, Signal Processing, Control Systems, and Communication Systems. This repository would be used by a student trying to supplement their coursework, a professional considering a career pivot, or an autodidact who wants to learn a topic like thermodynamics or digital signal processing without paying tuition. If you are building a hardware product and need to understand analog circuit design, or if you just want to see how a top university teaches aerospace structures, this list gives you a starting point. There is no code involved here. The value of the project is entirely in the curation and organization, saving you the time of hunting down high-quality, free educational content on your own.
