Electrical Engineering: Principles & Applications

by Allan R. Hambley

For courses in Electrical Engineering. Accessible and applicable learning in electrical engineering for introductory and non-major courses The #1 title in its market, Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications helps students learn electrical-engineering fundamentals with minimal frustration. Its goals are to present basic concepts in a general setting, to show students how the principles of electrical engineering apply to specific problems in their own fields, and to enhance the overall learning process. This book covers circuit analysis, digital systems, electronics, and electromechanics at a level appropriate for either electrical-engineering students in an introductory course or non-majors in a survey course. A wide variety of pedagogical features stimulate student interest and engender awareness of the material's relevance to their chosen profession. The only essential prerequisites are basic physics and single-variable calculus. The 7th Edition features technology and content updates throughout the text. Also available with Mastering Engineering Mastering(TM) Engineering is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Interactive, self-paced tutorials provide individualized coaching to help students stay on track. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts. The text and Mastering Engineering work together to guide students through engineering concepts with a multi-step approach to problems.

hardly any solutions to the practice problems and you have to go online to access them. has a nice minimalistic design tho

An awful book but a good didactic opportunity.

This book is a manifestation of the failure of education systems to inspire creativity and passion in students. It commits the mortal sin of "black boxing" everything and asking students to simply "plug and chug." Its explicit goal is to enable students to pass their engineering exams, so instead of offering understanding, it instead focuses on rote problem solving.

If your goal is weasel your way into a job that you hate and are unqualified for, buy this book, barely pass your exams, and in twenty years, look back on your miserable life and wonder what's wrong with the world.

If your goals include understanding, inventing and creating, or pursuing your passion, buy something else.

This book is an insult to humanity.

it's ok

Very dry and straightforward textbook (aren't they all?) that is dense with equations and graphs. Helpful for looking up areas you are having trouble with, but not good for learning from.

This is the only textbook I've actually read for a STEM class. It's alright, my prof was better at explaining things than the book is, but hey, at least I actually cracked it open and read a few chapters!
