ELECTRIC CIRCUITS AND SIGNALS
- Share to:
This book is intended for one or two courses on basic electric circuits as well as the “Circuits and Signals” course, CE-CSG, described in the Body of Knowledge of the IEEE/ACM. It differs from other textbooks in its coverage, organization, and presentation, which strongly emphasize fundamentals and stresses creative problem solving. By emphasis on funda- mentals I mean: (1) being comprehensive enough to include all the basic material that I believe should be included, (2) giving adequate explanation or justification of assertions or mathematical expressions (within the scope of the book, of course), and (3) helping the student understand the logic of circuit behavior and gain insight into the meaning, sig- nificance, and interrelations of the concepts involved. Insight is like an x-ray of the mind: it penetrates to the heart of a matter or problem. The main concepts are explicitly high- lighted throughout the book for special emphasis.
There is no doubt that integration, generalization, and emphasis on fundamentals are conducive to a thorough understanding of the material. A thorough understanding is what distinguishes quality engineering education from mere technical training and is a prerequisite for creative problem solving, providing a solid foundation for life-long learning.
The book stresses creative problem solving, in contrast to problem solving based on following set procedures without really understanding their rationale. Needless to say, creative problem solving is the most important conceptual step leading to a superior engineering design. In addition to emphasis on fundamentals, creative problem solving is fostered by encouraging the student to look at a given problem in different ways, particularly fresh and original ways. This is done through solving a relatively large number of carefully selected problems, many of them using different methods, with in-depth explanations and insightful comm
