Description

Designed for use in a one or two-semester Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory Courses taught in Electrical or Computer Engineering Departments.

The most widely used introductory circuits textbook. Emphasis is on student and instructor assessment and the teaching philosophies remain:

- To build an understanding of concepts and ideas explicitly in terms of previous learning

- To emphasize the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem solving approaches

- To provide students with a strong foundation of engineering practices.

Features

Emphasis on student and instructor assessment–Utilizes text elements such as Chapter Objectives, Assessing Objectives and Practical Perspectives.

Allows students and instructors to more easily meet the standards set by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).

Four color design–Appeals to today's visual learners and aids in chapter navigation.

Triple-accuracy checked.

Art program–Maximizes the impact and clarity of each chapter's subject matter.

Chapter opening photographs–Present fascinating real-world applications of the "Practical Perspective" problem that is presented.

Student Study Guide–Web-based study guide for each Chapter that focuses the reader, poses questions throughout, and suggests problems to try.

Chapter Tests–Available on the Web for instructor, who can choose to make them available to students. Each test is designed to be completed in 30 minutes and focuses on the Chapter Objectives. Four different versions of each test are provided.

Student Workbook–Available on the Web and covers nine key problem-solving techniques with detailed, step-by-step solutions, additional examples, and practice problems.

Designed for use in a one or two-semester Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory Course taught in Electrical or Computer Engineering Departments.

Electric Circuits 9/e is the most widely used introductory circuits textbook of the past 25 years. As this book has evolved over the years to meet the changing learning styles of students, importantly, the underlying teaching approaches and philosophies remain unchanged. The goals are:

        - To build an understanding of concepts and ideas explicitly in terms of previous learning

        - To emphasize the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem solving approaches

        - To provide students with a strong foundation of engineering practices.
