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.
