Ten Essential Skill for Electrical Engineers

---

In today's competitive marketplace, engineering students and professionals need every advantage to succeedin job interviews and in the industry. This insightful book will serve as a valuable reference for them throughout the interview process and while on the job.rnTen Essential Skills for Electrical Engineers applies the fundamentals learned in school to the practical tasks required by employers. With the ultimate goals of helping readers land a job and succeed at it, the book offers insightful chapters that teach them how to design resistive circuits; prevent thermal failures; analyze circuits; use statistics to design analog and digital filters; and work with high-frequency digital and RF signals.rn written in an intuitive, easy-to-follow style, the book:rn• Enables recent graduates in engineering to succeed in challenging technical interviewsrn• Reviews practical skills using the latest tools and techniquesrn• Focuses on the intersection between company-specific knowledge and engineering fundamentalsrn• Offers real-life, industry case studies, examples, and commentary from employers and practicing engineersrn• Provides a companion website containing interview practice problems and advanced materials for readers seeking additional expertisernTen Essential Skills for Electrical Engineers is a must-have book for aspiring and current engineers who wish to approach their next job interview confident in their grasp of the engineering skills that employers are seeking.rnRecent graduates have always been valued for their enthusiasm and creativity, and in better economic times were often seen as the future of the company. As a result, they were given some time to acclimate to their new job before being expected to do critical engineering tasks. But the combination of today's result-oriented workplace and the fact that most recent graduates will switch jobs after a few years results in companies expecting new graduates to enter the workplace with demonstrable design skills.rnThis present a dilemma for acedemia. It must give the students the breadth, depth, and critical thingking skills they need to be engineers, but in order to get hired after graduation they will often have to compete with the practical design skills of experienced engineers. Most engineering curriculums inlcude practical design skills, but in nearly 30 years of interviewing students, the author has found that they frequently can't demonstrate those skills in an interview.rnThis book addresses this dilemma. It consists of nine chapters of purely technical review followed by a chapter on interviewing strategies and thriving in the workplace. When the students read the chapters and work the problems they will get an infusion of practical skills and a strong reminder that the fundamentals of the EE curriculum can be used to solve nearly any problem they'll encounter in the workplace. The text was written to be easily readable and the problems are straightforward, so the material will help the students rather than challenge them.rnThis book can be integrated into the EE curriculum starting in the sophomore year. As the students approach the end of individual courses, the relevant chapters can be assigned and they'll find the material quite easy. As they progress through the curriculum, they will complete the entire book. As graduation approaches they will recall that these chapters provide a practical review and revisit them as they prepare for their technical interviews. As they prepare for interviews they are encouraged to visit the companion website www.blog.dorrengineering.com where they will find a large collection of interview practice problems and additional practial skills.rnThe book can also be used as a supplement to a one-quarter or semester senior seminar course. The material is not overly difficult, so the instructor can use class time to focus on other aspects of the course and have the students review this material as self or group study. The schedule outlined below will require about 4-6 hours per week of the student's time.
