Principles of Electrical Engineering

---

This book was written as a textbook on electrical engineering topics for non electrical engineers. Because the needs of aerospace, chemical, civil, environmental, industrial, materials, mechanical, ocean, and other types of engineering are so diverse, no optimum list of topics for one would necessary serve another. When course length and emphasis variations from school are included, it became clear that the book had to be written to give the instructor of each specific course some freedom of choice in the topics covered.rnThus, a wide selection of topics in electrical engineering is included in the book so that each instructor can choose those that best fit each individual course. This topics fall broadly into five areas that form the five parts into which the book is subdivided. Part 1, basic concepts and circuits, contains the most elementary materil (five chapters), most of which must be studied before any other topics are attempted. Part 2, electronic devices and circuits, discusses diodes and transistors (chapter 6 and 7), operational amplifiers and controls (chapter 8), and some specilized circuits (chapter 9), Part 3, computers and digital devices, includes four chapters on various aspects of computers. This comprehensive integrated introduction to digital computers features an up to date treatment of fundamentals of digital logic design (chapter 10 and 11), microprocessor and assembly language (chapter 12), and computer networks (chapter 13). Part 4, electrical communications systems, discusses wave propagation, antennas, and noise in systems (chapter 14), analog radio systems, including AM and FM radio as well as TV (chapter 15), and digital communications systems (chapter 16). Part 5 considers power systems (chapter 17) and electric machinery (chapter 18).rnGenerally, chapters 1-4 of part 1 must be included in any first course. Parts 2-5 have almost no dependence on each other and can be selected in any order. Chapters in any of parts 3-5 should generally be taken in sequence for best effect.Within parts 2 chapter 8 can stand alone but has a weak dependence on chapter 5 of part 1: chapterb7 requires chapter 6 be taken first, and chapter 9 has a weak dependence on chpater 6.rnAlthough the book has sufficient material to support a sequence of two one semester courses, most applications are expected to be in single courses of one quarter or one semester length. The material can be selected to give various course lengths and emphasis of content. Several choices are listed in the table below. All choices assume three hours of class exposure per week.rnAn efforts has been made to keep the level of presentation reasonably consistent throughout the book. Each topic has enough detail for the reader to have profitable learning, but not so much, it is hoped, that insight is lost. A course for nonelectrical engineers should give a learning experience and not just a shallow exposure to a short list of meaningless topics to be discussed one day and forgotten the next.rnThe background needed to use the book is only that typical of junior or senior engineering students. Basic courses are assumed in calculus and physiscs, where quantities of electric and magnetic fields, work, energy, and sound (waves) are covered.rnTo aid the student, worked examples are scaterred throughout the book, and exercise problems are provided at the ends of all chapters. The more advanced or time consuming probvlems are keybed by a star. A complete solutions manual is available to instructors from the publisher. Where feasible, the chapters also included both open ended design exercises and exercises that require simpel use of the computer. To aid in working computer exercises, a special diskette is contained in the instructor’s solution manual. Software (programs) on the diskette supports the computer exercises. Readers may obtain a copy of the diskette from their isntructor who is authorized by the publisher to freely make copies as required for student use. Each program has been written to be user friendly so that the student’s time is spent actually using the program instead of learning the overhead needed to make the program function.rn
