Synopsis

The author's guiding philosophy in writing this book has three elements: to present basic concepts to readers in a general setting, to show how the principles of electrical engineering apply to specific problems in their own fields, and to remove frustration from the learning process. Emphasizing the basic concepts of the field, this book covers circuit analysis, digital systems, electronics, and electromechanics. This book develops theoretical and experimental skills and experiences in the following areas: basic circuit analysis and measurement, first- and second-order transients, steady-state ac circuits, resonance and frequency response, digital logic circuits, microcontrollers (68HC11), computer-based instrumentation, diode circuits, electronic amplifiers, field-effect and bipolar junction transistors, operational amplifiers, ac and dc machines, and more. For engineers or any other professionals who need a solid foundation in the basics of circuits, digital systems, analog electronics, and electromechanics.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Designed specifically for non-majors, this user-friendly text provides a solid foundation in the basics of circuits, electronics (analog and digital), and electromechanics and shows students how the principles apply to interesting, specific, real problems in their own fields.

From the Back Cover:

FEATURES:

Written for users (rather than designers) of circuits, electronics, and electrical machines. Offers a "frustration-free" approach that anticipates trouble spots and provides answers for their most frequently asked questions. A self-contained treatment reviews prerequisite topics such as complex numbers and differential equations. Intersperses short, boxed articles throughout showing how basic electrical engineering concepts are applied in other engineering fields, e.g.: Anti-knock signal-processing circuits for internal combustion engines. A cardiac pacemaker. The use of the Global Position System in surveying. Batteries for electric/hybrid vehicles. Signal-processing for automotive-ignition control.

Contains an introduction to computer-aided analysis using PSpice.
