Description
For students following pre-degree vocational electronic and electrical engineering courses at levels 2 and 3; foundation degree students and undergraduates.
The BTEC National Engineering course has a brand new syllabus and this text is now fully updated to reflect these changes. It introduces electrical principles and technology through examples rather than theory, enabling level three students to develop a sound understanding of the principles needed for careers in electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications. Free online instructor's manual and a solutions manual are available.
