My impression of it is that it's basically perfect to hand to fresh or about-to-be-fresh EE graduates. It fills in some of the massive practical gap between what's taught in college and what you actually need to know to be an effective engineer. So I interpret that as "this builds on your degree". Of course, it's much more applicable than that, but it is not trying to be a from-basics textbook. Which is good, because there are lots of those, and there are very few things that teach what this teaches.
