Let’s face it — engineering is fascinating, but the textbooks? Not so much. Complex formulas, dense theory, and hours of YouTube searches often leave students more confused than when they started.
That’s why Engineering Insiders is here: to break down the toughest engineering concepts into simple, visual explanations that actually make sense. Whether you’re a first-year student or deep into your final year, these are five topics you’ll finally understand after watching our animated breakdowns.
The Fourier Transform is a cornerstone in signal processing, but it often feels like magic.
Our animation shows how everyday signals (like your voice or music) can be broken into pure frequencies — think of it like turning a messy smoothie back into fruit. Once you see it visualized, the math stops feeling scary.
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are used in everything from self-driving cars to 3D printers.
In our explainer, we show how a thermostat keeps your room at the right temperature using PID logic — with fun real-world examples and simple animations.
It’s a question every embedded systems student asks: “Aren’t they basically the same?”
Not quite. Our video shows how each works in the context of real devices — from your smartwatch to your laptop — making the distinction instantly clear.
“Power factor” sounds boring… until you realize it’s costing industries millions in wasted energy.
Our breakdown uses easy-to-grasp analogies and animations (like beer mugs and foam!) to explain how reactive power messes with efficiency — and how engineers fix it.
Why use 20 wires when one can do the job? Multiplexing is a space-saving, cost-cutting trick used in everything from car dashboards to communication networks.
Our video shows exactly how it works — using buses, switches, and time slots — in under 3 minutes.
We believe students don’t just need more content — they need better explanations.
At Engineering Insiders, we combine storytelling, clear visuals, and real-world examples to make engineering click in your brain — and stick.
