No tuition, no licenses, no fluff. Rust University.xyz offers a fully open-source, industry-driven Electrical Engineering & Computer Science curriculum that compiles directly to your career.
Rust University.xyz redefines engineering education by replacing traditional lectures and proprietary tools with hands-on, code-first learning. Every topic—from calculus to circuits, from compilers to control systems—is learned by building real Rust projects that mirror industry workflows. Our lean, four-year equivalent curriculum is fully open-source, free of charge, and aligned with the skills top employers demand.
Implement every concept as a Rust crate—no passive videos. You write the solver, the simulator, and the systems that underpin real-world engineering.
All course materials, labs, and project templates are available on GitHub under the MIT License. Fork, contribute, and help evolve the curriculum.
Learn the same tools and practices used by embedded systems, aerospace, and cloud infrastructure engineers—memory-safe Rust, CI/CD, hardware integration, and more.
Collaborate with peers worldwide via our Canvas LMS and GitHub. Participate in hackathons, code reviews, and open-source initiatives.

Collaborative real-world engineering project, culminating in a public showcase.
"I built my first OS kernel in Rust and landed a firmware engineering job—without ever stepping into a traditional classroom."
"Forking the curriculum and contributing labs was the best way to learn. The community support is incredible."
"Rust University taught me the math by coding it—I now architect complex simulations in just a few lines."
