Circuit analysis is the fundamental gateway course for computer and electrical engineering majors. Irwin and Nelms’ Engineering Circuit Analysis has long been regarded as the most dependable textbook on the subject. Focusing on the most complete set of pedagogical tools available and student-centered learning design, this book helps students complete the connection between theory and practice and build their problem-solving skills. Key concepts are explained multiple times in varying formats to support diverse learning styles, followed by detailed examples, including application and design examples. These are then followed by Learning Assessments, which allow students to work similar problems and check their results against the answers provided. At the end of each chapter, the book includes a robust set of conceptual and computational problems at a wide range of difficulty levels.  This International Adaptation enhances the coverage of network theorems by adding new theorems such as reciprocity, compensation, and Millman’s, and strengthens the topic of filter networks by including cascaded and Butterworth filters. This edition also includes inverse hybrid and inverse transmission parameters to describe two-port networks and a dedicated chapter on diodes

Essentials of Electrical and Computer Engineering is for an introductory course or course sequence for nonmajors, focused on the essentials of electrical and computer engineering that are required for all engineering students, and to pass the electrical engineering portion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. The text gently yet thoroughly introduces students to the full spectrum of fundamental topics, and the modular presentation gives instructors great flexibility.Special chapters and sections not typically found in nonmajors books: The Electric Power System explains how the components of the Grid work together to produce and deliver electric power. (Ch 8)Load line analysis is integrated with small-signal analysis, providing wide application for enhancing students’ understanding of transistor and circuit operation and the options for analysis. (Ch 9)Instrumentation looks at how electrical measurements support the analysis and development of engineering systems. (Ch 13) Modern electronic devices and applications are presented in way useful for all majors, at a level presuming no prior knowledge.Technologies such as MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) are included to illustrate how modern technologies are interdisciplinary.This text may also be useful for self-study readers learning the fundamentals of electrical and computer engineering.

Enhancing its value, this fully updated collection presents research and global trends as published in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics Journal, one of the largest and most respected publications in the field. As intelligent systems continue to replace and sometimes outperform human intelligence in decision-making processes, they have made substantial contributions to the solution of very complex problems. As a result, the field of computational intelligence has branched out in several directions. For instance, artificial neural networks can learn how to classify patterns, such as images or sequences of events, and effectively model complex nonlinear systems. Simple and easy to implement, fuzzy systems can be applied to successful modeling and system control. Illustrating how these and other tools help engineers model nonlinear system behavior, determine and evaluate system parameters, and ensure overall system control, Intelligent Systems: Addresses various aspects of neural networks and fuzzy systemsFocuses on system optimization, covering new techniques such as evolutionary methods, swarm, and ant colony optimizationsDiscusses several applications that deal with methods of computational intelligenceOther volumes in the set: Fundamentals of Industrial ElectronicsPower Electronics and Motor DrivesControl and MechatronicsIndustrial Communication Systems
