About the Book

Appropriate for first year, survey courses in electrical engineering. Electrical Engineering Uncovered gives the undergraduate student an introduction to electrical engineering and a sense of what professional engineers do. The text uses familiar examples, like water flowing through a garden hose, to illustrate the electronics discussed and ease the student into the subject. *NEW - Internet chapter has been greatly updated. *NEW - Much material on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) has been added. *NEW - Revision of digital electronics. *NEW - Revised materials on computer architecture. *NEW - Additional homework problems and worked examples. *NEW - Instructors CD (with possible audio bits) - Contains: Overview of the course as given at Berkeley laboratory experiments with answers and Instructor suggestions, "equipment Required for Laboratory Experiments," homework problems with answers, answers to "Food for Thought," electronic and logic circuits that can be run with PSpice or LogicWorks, videos of some demos used in class, web links, reproducible figures from text (except halftone illustrations and externally copyrighted materials), information about "Musical Notes" (background for guitar tuner and Lissagous figure labs), instructor grading spreadsheet (Excel). *NEW - A chapter on communications and one on digital signal processing. *Short, one-page templates - Included for the different kinds of technical writing an engineer would typically produce. *Laboratory Experiments for Electrical Engineering Uncovered-the companion volume - Contains laboratory experiments with equipment that students have already used, but not necessarily understood, such as a VCR, CD player, remote control, and an ultrasonic rangefinder. *Instructors Manual for Electrical Engineering Uncovered - Includes classroom demos, homework and lab solutions, and a lab equipment guide. *Web Site (with possible audio bits) - Contains: Laboratory experiments (without answers and Instructor suggestions), electronic and logic circuits that can be run with Pspice or LogicWorks, some demos used in class, web links, figures from text (except halftone illustrations and externally copyrighted materials).
