Electrical Engineering : Concepts and Applications (IE-Paperback)

<內容簡介>

Curriculum for non-EE majors: A multi-disciplinary effort at Michigan Technological University, with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Engineering Education division, aimed to create a curriculum that (1) encourages students to pursue the life-long learning necessary to keep pace with the rapidly-evolving engineering industry and emerging interdisciplinary technologies, (2) maintains sufficient connection between the students’ chosen engineering fields and class content; and (3) motivates and excites the students about the importance of EE concepts to their discipline and career. The group’s curriculum reform efforts were informed by a nationwide survey of engineering schools. The survey outcomes were analyzed to fine tune different curriculum options for this course for different engineering disciplines, and then used as a layout to create a new textbook. This book’s diverse topics address the mixed survey response and allow it to address the needs of lecturers in different institutions worldwide.
•Application-based examples: A large number of application-based examples selected from different engineering fields are included in each chapter. They aim to bridge EE and diverse non-EE areas. These examples help address the question: “why should I take this course?” Non-EE students will better understand: (1) why they should learn how to solve circuits; and; (2) the applications of solving circuits in mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering areas.
•PSpice lectures, examples, and problems: The text offers a distributed approach for learning PSpice. Chapter 2 provides an initial PSpice tutorial, and new skills are added in Chapters 3 - 11. This part includes lectures that teach students how to use PSpice and can be considered as an embedded PC-based lab for the course. PSpice-specific examples and end-of-chapter PSpice problems help students better understand the process of building a circuit and getting the desired results.
•Innovative chapters: Based on a nationwide survey, the topics in these chapters have been highlighted by many professionals as important for this course. Each instructor has the liberty to include or exclude some of these topics from his/her curriculum. Some topics include:
◦Chapter 1-Case Study uses real life mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering scenarios to present the applications of electrical engineering and better motivate students in their chosen fields of study. These case studies are reintroduced as topics are covered later in the book.
◦Chapter 7-Frequency Response with MATLAB and PSpice discusses the frequency response of circuits, introduces different types of filters and uses MATLAB and PSpice examples and end-of chapter problems. This chapter creates an opportunity for students to learn some features of MATLAB software through an integrated study using both PSpice and MATLAB.
◦Power Coverage-Chapters 9, 12, 13: Based on the nationwide survey, and motivated by concerns about global warming and the need for clean energy, industry respondents requested a more thorough treatment of power. 
■Chapter 9 introduces the concept of three phase systems, transmission lines, their equivalent circuits, and power transfer.
■Chapter 12 studies another important topic of energy transfer - transformers.
■Chapter 13 studies the topic of motors and generators and introduces many applications of both.
◦Chapter 15-Electrical Safety discusses interesting electric safety topics useful in the daily life of consumers or engineers working in the field.
•Examples and sorted end-of-chapter problems: The book features more than 1100 examples and end-of-chapter problems (solutions included). End-of-chapter problems are sorted to help instructors select basic, average, and difficult problems.
•A complete solutions manual: A complete solution for all problems is available to download for all adopting professors.

內容簡介：

《非電機工程專業課程大綱：密西根科技大學的跨學科合作，得到美國國家科學基金會工程教育部的支持，旨在創建一個課程大綱，鼓勵學生進行終身學習，以跟上快速發展的工程行業和新興的跨學科技術，保持學生所選的工程領域與課程內容之間的聯繫，並激發學生對電機工程概念在他們的學科和職業中的重要性的興趣和激情。該團隊的課程改革工作是根據對全國工程學校的調查結果進行的。調查結果被用來微調不同工程學科的課程選項，並作為創建新教科書的佈局。本書的多樣化主題涵蓋了調查結果的不同回應，並使其能夠滿足世界各地不同機構講師的需求。

- 基於應用的例子：每章都包含了從不同工程領域選擇的基於應用的例子。它們旨在搭建電機工程和不同非電機工程領域之間的橋樑。這些例子有助於回答以下問題：“為什麼我應該修這門課？”非電機工程專業的學生將更好地理解：(1)為什麼他們應該學習如何解電路；以及(2)解電路在機械、化學和土木工程領域的應用。

- PSpice講座、例子和問題：本書提供了一種分散式的學習PSpice的方法。第2章提供了一個初始的PSpice教程，並在第3章至第11章中添加了新的技能。這部分包括教授學生如何使用PSpice的講座，可以被視為該課程的嵌入式基於個人電腦的實驗室。PSpice特定的例子和章末的PSpice問題有助於學生更好地理解建立電路和獲得所需結果的過程。

- 創新章節：根據全國調查，這些章節中的主題被許多專業人士視為該課程的重要內容。每位講師都有自由選擇是否將其中一些主題納入其課程。一些主題包括：
- 第1章-案例研究使用真實的機械、化學和土木工程場景來介紹電機工程的應用，並更好地激發學生對他們所選研究領域的興趣。這些案例研究在書中後面涵蓋相關主題時再次引入。
- 第7章-使用MATLAB和PSpice進行頻率響應討論電路的頻率響應，介紹了使用PSpice的方法。
