Description
A core text for first year modules in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, this text offers student-centred learning based on real-life engineering practice. This text covers the essential information a first year engineering student needs in preparation for real-life engineering practice. Introducing the topics which will be built upon for second year and further academic study, the text takes a student-centred approach to the subject. Easily accessible material is introduced through case studies, assignments and knowledge-check questions, all designed to aid student learning. Practical application of the subject within an engineering context is stressed throughout. This text is tailored to be used on a wide range of introductory courses at first degree and HND level. As with all texts in the IIE Core Textbook Series, an interactive style should bring the subject to life with activities and case studies rather than pages of theory alone. Key numerical and statistical techniques are introduced through "Maths in Action" panels located within the main text.
The content has been matched to a variety of first degree year modules including IEng and other BSC Engineering and Technology courses. Lecturers should find the breadth of material covered gears the text towards a flexible style of use, which can be tailored to their syllabus.

Reviews / Votes
'The proposed electronics text covers the essential elements of first year introductory modules in electronics - circuit analysis, analogue and digital electronics are the foundations of most electronics courses and of general engineering courses where there is a substantial electronics content. The addition of the communications and electromagnetics chapters enhances the book and, I feel provides an advantage over other texts, for example, electromagnetics is currently in decline in higher education and seems to have been ignored by many texts aiming for this level of audience, but I believe that there will be a resurgence in its teaching in this subject in the next few years. The proposed text mirrors the mechanical engineering book very well, the main themes of the book are covered, from which the later years of a degree programme can be developed.' Alistair Duffy, De Montfort University, UK 'I have compared the proposal topics with those included in the syllabi of first year structure of two major UK universities and found that all proposed topics are very relevant.'
