What's New
Over 300 new homework problems have been added to the new edition, with over 1800 total problems provided in the text.
"Enhancing Your Skills" and "Enhancing Your Career" chapter openers provide discussions about how to enhance skills that contribute to successful problem-solving, and career-oriented talks on a subdiscipline of electrical engineering to give students a sense of the real-world applications of electrical engineering.
Knowledge Capturing Integrated Design Environment (KCIDE) software provided on the Online Learning Center leads students through end of chapter problems using the six-step problem solving method, and keeps a record for how problems are solved so students can share and check their work. An appendix on KCIDE has been added to the text.
Extended examples in each chapter show an example problem worked using a detailed outline of the six-step method so students can see how to practice this technique.
PSpice and MATLAB are integrated thoughout the text, with tutorials included in the appendix. Icons mark end of chapter homework problems that can be solved using PSpice or MATLAB.
