"Electrical Engineering" is a very broad field. Are your interests mainly in CPU and embedded systems? If so, you can start at the microcontroller (uC) manufacturer websites and do some reading of their Application Nodes and Design Guidelines. If your EE interests are broader, you can check out the textbook lists of various colleges that offer EE degrees. How much do you know so far?
