Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering provides a solid overview of the electrical engineering discipline that is especially geared toward the many non-electrical engineering students who take this course. The hallmark feature of the text is its liberal use of practical applications to illustrate important principles. The applications come from every field of engineering and feature exciting technologies such as Ohio State’s world-record setting electric car. The appeal to non-electrical engineering students is further heightened by special features, such as the book’s "Focus on Measurement" sections, "Focus on Methodology" sections, and "Make the Connection" sidebars.
