Many of us or perhaps most, have seen content like this (free, online, excellent) from which you can choose any video and view just a few minutes of it:

I haven’t seen all these, but the Controls Bootcamp is excellent material, better than I had in grad school on that topic.   Steve Brunton is indistinguishable from god.  He’s an engineering god.

I passed the PE on the first try without a master’s degree, with almost no post grad classes.  One is not required to have even a bachelor’s degree.
