About this title

Synopsis

Intended for DC/AC Circuits course. This unusually in-depth text on the fundamentals of electronic technology hones in on core 'choice' topics to ensure a solid foundation for growth, and incorporates a system of useful and effective learning aids that have proven extremely successful in Paynter's popular Introduction to Electronic Devices and Circuits, 4/e. Focusing on maintaining student interest and promoting understanding at all times, it features a functional, four-colour design, and comes with a well-designed Electronic Workbench Application Problems disk for additional practice. *Gives more coverage to the topical areas that most college programs actually use, providing a more streamlined, but more substantial introduction to electric circuits. *Models the texts framework from the authors popular devices book, with a fully-integrated, effective system of learning tools that include: * Performance-based objectives provide a handy overview of the chapter organization and a road-map to student learning.

* Objective identifiers in the margins cross-reference the objectives with the chapter material, helping students to quickly locate the material that enables them to fulfill a given objective. * Margin notes include a running glossary of new terms, notes that highlight the differences between theory and practice, and brief reminders of principles covered in the earlier sections and chapters. * In-chapter practice problems are included in the examples to provide students with an immediate opportunity to apply the principles and procedures being demonstrated. * Summary illustrations provide a convenient summary of circuit operating principles and applications; many provide comparisons between related circuits. * Section review questions prompt reflection and solidify understanding of material. * Chapter summaries detail major points covered in a straightforward, easy-to-follow style. * Practice problems at the end of each chapter; includes Troubleshooting problems, "The Brain Drain" challengers, plus select "Open For Discussion" problems to generate classroom discussion/debate (the problems dont have a single right answer).

*Presents a functional use of four-color designed to help students distinguish between the parts and values that make up the various circuits and graphs. *A CD-ROM, written by George Shaiffer from Pikes Peak Community College, is included with the text. *Contains circuit exercises that relate directly to the text. An EWB logo is used to identify those figures in the text which have an EWB file. * In addition to the circuits, the CD-ROM will contains a tutorial that instructs the user on how to use Electronics Workbench and how to simulate circuits. The CD-ROM contains a locked version of EWB Student Version 5.0 that can be unlocked by calling the software manufacturer, Interactive Image Technologies. *Provides an accompanying Lab Manual, written by William Muckler. * Uses EWB to supplement the exercises, and uses EWB exercises in a manner that allows instructors to choose (on an individual basis) whether or not to include them in their curriculum.
