A powerful new approach to learning a classical engineering subject: active learningElectrical Energy Conversion and Transport presents a revolutionary... computer-assisted teaching method designed to accelerate students' mastery of basic concepts of electric energy conversion and transport through interactive involvement with the material.The active-learning approach enables students to tackle and solve complicated problems previously thought too difficult at the introductory level. Computers provide immediate feedback enabling a seamless integration of theory and application. Freed from the need to deliver extensive lectures, instructors can now outline the steps of each analysis, then move about the classroom offering guidance, answering questions as students develop equations and reach conclusions.Important features of this new learning system include: An interactive approach using computers to develop operational parameters Computer-assisted derivation of motor and transmission-line operation Use of Mathcad, MATLAB®, and PSpice throughout for problem solving Thorough discussions of contemporary issues such as electronic control of motors and the environmental impact of power generationAn ideal self-study reference and introductory course textbook, Electrical Energy Conversion and Transport is essential for the training of engineers who will be able to use modern computational techniques to analyze electric systems. It is also an excellent guide for professionals who want to get up to speed with a computer-based analysis of electrical energy conversion and transport.

This comprehensive revision of a popular text helps non-electrical engineering majors--the future users, rather than the designers of electrical... devices, systems, and machines--gain a conceptual understanding of electrical engineering. Early coverage of systems and an emphasis on an IC (integrated circuits) "building block" approach motivates non-majors. The text features integration of analog and digital technology with cutting-edge coverage of op-amps, feedback and analog systems. A section on SPICE, the leading computer-aided circuit analysis software, introduces students to computerized analysis of circuits. Chapter-end Applications capture student interest by relating material to contemporary topics such as automobile suspension systems, high-fidelity audio, and hand-held computers.

¿ For non-electrical engineering majors taking the introduction to electrical engineering course. ¿ Electrical Engineering: Concepts and... Applications is the result of a multi-disciplinary effort at Michigan Technological University to create a new curriculum that is attractive, motivational, and relevant to students by creating many application-based problems; and provide the optimal level of both range and depth of coverage of EE topics in a curriculum package.

For undergraduate introductory or survey courses in electrical engineering.   ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS, 5/e 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. Circuit analysis, digital systems, electronics, and electromechanics are covered. A wide variety of pedagogical features stimulate student interest and engender awareness of the material’s relevance to their chosen profession.

"Great writing . . . a clear introduction to the most widely deployed security technology in the Internet."-Paul Lambert, former co-chair of IETF IPSEC... working groupThe Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security(TLS) protocols form the foundation for e-commerce security on the World Wide Web, verifying the authenticity of Web sites, encrypting the transfer of sensitive data, and ensuring the integrity of information exchanged. Now-for the first time the details of these critical security protocols are available in a complete, clear, and concise reference. SSL and TLS Essentials provides complete documentation of the SSL and TLS protocols, including advanced and proprietary extensions never before published. The book thoroughly covers the protocols in operation, including the contents of their messages, message formats, and the cryptographic calculations used to construct them. The text also includes an introduction to cryptography and an explanation of X.509 public key certificates. Stephen Thomas, author of IPng and the TCP/IP Protocols, presents this complex material in a clear and reader-friendly manner. The book includes more than 80 figures and illustrations to supplement its text, and it describes SSL in the context of real-world, practical applications. Readers will immediately understand not only the academic principles behind he security protocols, but how those principles apply to their own network security challenges.The book includes:* Full details of Netscape's SSL and the IETF's TLS protocols, with differences between the two clearl highlighted and explained* A concise tutorial in cryptography* Complete coverage of Netscape's International Step-Up and Microsoft's Server Gated Cryptography implementations* A description of X.509 public key certificates* Details on implementing backwards compatibility among previous versions of SSL and TLS* A thorough security checklist with explanations of all known attacks on SSL implementations, along with appropriate countermeasures.The CD-ROM contains convenient electronic versions of the book for:* Windows(r) CE handheld computers* Adobe(r) Acrobat Reader for PCsVisit our Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/

Electrical Engineering Uncovered gives the reader an introduction to electrical engineering and a sense of what professional engineers do. The book... uses familiar examples, like water flowing through a garden hose, to illustrate the electronics discussed and ease the reader into the subject. Topics include up-to-date Internet information; new material on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS); digital electronics; computer architecture; communications; and digital signal processing. Short, one-page templates are included for the different kinds of technical writing an engineer would typically produce. As a reference for electrical engineers.

This unique text fills the need for a convenient, single-volume reference source on the electrical theory that is the foundation of an electrical... utility system. The second edition includes updates to many technical points, describes the equipment and situations that lineworkers deal with daily, and features information on safety. The thorough explanation of theory increases the lineworker's knowledge of the system being operated and maintained. The material is presented in a chronological order, taking the reader from an overview of power systems through current technology affecting the operation of electrical utilities.

The book is structured for anyone working in the failure analysis industry. The material is particularly designed for individuals that encounter... electrical systems in the process of incident investigations. This includes engineers, technicians, investigators, insurance, legal, supervisors, and staff. There is enough technical information that any investigator will benefit from the material, illustrations, and explanations. The discussion is structured so that the material can also be used as an introduction to investigations. There are over 400 illustrations. The majority are photos of actual incidents we have investigated. Other photos are of events we have created in our research and are used as illustrations and aids. There are numerous diagrams to document the discussion.
