Design for Electrical and Computer Engineers / Edition 1

by J. Eric Salt, Robert Rothery

Overview

Eric Salt and Robert Rothery's Design for Electrical and Computer Engineers guides students through each stage of the engineering process, from start to finish. As students work through the text, they will develop a strong theoretical framework and master practical techniques that they can rely on throughout their academic and professional careers. Students learn how to define a customer's needs and the design problem, synthesize solutions, evaluate alternatives, and complete the systems level design. The text also addresses the important issues of documentation and testing. In addition, students will find a number of examples and templates throughout the text, including suggested outlines for design documents such as design specifications, project plans, and test plans. This text is suitable as a main text or supplement for a junior, senior or graduate course in Electrical Engineering Design or Project Management.

Editorial Reviews

Aimed at electrical engineering undergraduate students, this text covers the design methods used by professional engineers. The authors, who were previously employed in the electronics industry, developed the text while teaching a course at the University of Saskatchewan. Topics include, for example, development of requirements specification, project management methods, and system integration. A case study found in the appendix elaborates upon concepts introduced in the text and may be used as a model for a senior capstone project. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
