ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING FOR NON-ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
Many non-engineering professionals as well as engineers who are not electrical engineers tend to have a phobia related to electrical engi-neering. One reason for this apprehensiveness about electrical engineer-ing is due to the fact that electrical engineering is premised on concepts, methods, and mathematical techniques that are somewhat more abstract than those employed in other disciplines, such as civil, mechanical, environmental, and industrial engineering. Yet, because of the prevalence and ubiquitous nature of electrical equipment, appliances, and the role electricity plays in our daily lives, the non-electrical professionals find themselves interfacing with electrical systems and dealing with matters that broach into the electrical realm. Therein lies the purpose and objective of this book.
This, third, edition includes numerous updated pictures, diagrams, tables, charts, graphs, and improved explanation of certain concepts, in addition to rectification of errata identified since the publication of the second edition of this book. In addition to the mainstream electrical engi-neering topics, what continues to yield distinction for this book are the unique topics of contemporary batteries, other types of electrical energy storage devices, and illumination.
This edition maintains the mission to serve as a resource for explor-ing and understanding basic electrical engineering concepts, principles, analytical techniques, and mathematical strategies.
If your objective as a reader is limited to the acquisition of basic knowledge in electrical engineering, then the material in this book should suffice. If, however, the reader wishes to progress their electrical engi-neering knowledge to intermediate or advanced level, this book could serve as a useful platform.
As the aphorism goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”; this edition maintains the tradition of maximum utilization of diagram, graphs, pictures, and flow charts to facilitate quick and effective compre-hension of the concepts of electrical engineering.
