ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS helps students learn electrical-engineering fundamentals with minimal frustration. Its goals are to present basic concepts in a general setting, to show students how the principles of electrical engineering apply to specific problems in their own fields, and to enhance the overall learning process. Circuit analysis, digital systems, electronics, and electromechanics are covered. A wide variety of pedagogical features stimulate student interest and engender awareness of the material's relevance to their chosen profession. Features The book includes various pedagogical features designed with the goal of stimulating student interest, eliminating frustration, and engendering an awareness of the relevance of the material to their chosen profession. These features are: Statements of learning objectives open each chapter. Comments in the margins emphasize and summarize important points or indicate common pitfalls that students need to avoid. Short boxed articles demonstrate how electrical-engineering principles are applied in other fields of engineering. For example, see the articles on active noise cancellation (page 295) and electronic pacemakers (starting on page 393). Step-by-step problem solving procedures. For example, see the step-by-step summary of node-voltage analysis (on pages 76-77) or the summary of Thévenin equivalents (on page 95). A Practice Test at the end of each chapter gives students a chance to test their knowledge. Answers appear in Appendix E and complete solutions are included in the Student Solutions files. Complete solutions to the in-chapter exercises and Practice Tests, included as PDF files on-line, build student confidence and indicate where additional study is needed. Summaries of important points at the end of each chapter provide references for students. Key equations are highlighted in the book to draw attention to important results.
