Stephen J. Chapman is a leading author in the area of machines. He brings his expertise to the table again in An "Introduction to Electric Machinery and Power Systems." This text is designed to be used in a course that combines machinery and power systems into one semester. Chapman's new book is designed to be flexible and allow instructors to choose chapters "a la carte", sot he instructor controls the emphasis. Chapman has written a book that give students what they need to know to be real-world engineers. It focuses on principles and teaches students how to use information as opposed to do a lot of calculations that would rarely be done by a practicing engineer. He compresses the material by focusing on its essence, underlying principles. Matlab is used throughout the book in examples and problems. Read more

Advanced LabVIEW Labs provides a structured introduction to LabVIEW-based laboratory skills. The book can be used as a stand-alone tutorial or as a college-level instructional lab text.

This text distinguishes itself from its competition (esp. Sedra/Smith) by its careful and complete integration of SPICE - a circuit simulation software program used widely in EE departments, especially in its free, Evaluation versions called PSPICE. The use of SPICE is incorporated directly into the book's rich selection of realistic examples. In simple terms, SPICE is used as a analysis tool to test electronics devices and their performance in circuits. In addition,the authors focus on three key objectives in presenting the basic concepts of electronics. The authors (1) describe device models for diodes, bipolar junction transistors and field-effect transistors; (2) apply these device models in a wide variety of realistic examples; and (3) integrate the use of SPICE throughout as a powerful design tool for circuit analysis. The book also features a superior new learning pedagogy, with important concepts listed at the beginning of each chapter, marginal notes emphasizing key concepts in the text, more than 200 example problems and circuit designs, new drill exercises and checkup questions at the end of each section and chapter, and more than 1,000 end-of-chapter problems. Bound in to the back of the book is a CD-ROM containing Macintosh, DOS and Windows Evaluation versions of PSPICE; SPICE netlists supporting the text; Acrobat-based electronic transparencies of text illustrations; and a collection of sample circuits developed for use with the Student Edition of Electronics Workbench for Windows (also distributed by PWS), making this book a complete course and design solution for professors and student using PSPICE and other circuit analysis software.

This seventh edition of Fitzgerald and Kingsley's Electric Machinery by Stephen Umans was developed recognizing the strength of this classic text since its first edition has been the emphasis on building an understanding of the fundamental physical principles underlying the performance of electric machines. Much has changed since the publication of the first edition, yet the basic physical principles remain the same, and this seventh edition is intended to retain the focus on these principles in the context of today's technology.

In a radical departure from the dozens of other quality books, this one makes the case that the traditional TQM procedures used in the electronics assembly field are not only ineffective--they contribute to many failures. The only book to focus exclusively on quality in electronics manufacturing--and to propose a measurable cost/benefit methodology--this provocative volume shows what's lacking in current quality programs, and how fresh approaches can yet avoid a quality ``catastrophe'' in the electronics industry. Along the way, numerous quality myths are exploded, hidden issues are confronted, and an array of electronics specific solutions are offered. Read more
