PREFACE

A multi-disciplinary effort was initiated at Michigan Technological University, with a support

from the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Engineering Education division. The goal was to

create a curriculum that (1) encourages students to pursue the life-long learning necessary to

keep pace with the rapidly-evolving engineering industry and emerging interdisciplinary tech-

nologies, (2) maintains sufficient connection between the students’ chosen engineering fields

and class content; and (3) motivates and excite the students about the importance of EE concepts

to their discipline and career.

Seven faculty members across different departments contributed to this process.

Participating departments included: electrical engineering, chemical engineering, civil and en-

vironmental engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and the education

division of the cognitive and learning science department. The group’s curriculum reform ef-

forts were informed by a nationwide survey of engineering schools. The survey outcomes were

analyzed to fine tune different curriculum options for this course for different engineering disci-

plines. Then, those options were integrated to create the final draft of the curriculum. The final

draft of the curriculum was used as a layout to create a new textbook for this course.

Although no single text can perfectly meet the needs of every institution, diverse topics

have been included to address the mixed survey response and allow this book to address the

needs of lecturers in different institutions worldwide. The resulting textbook creates a proto-

type curriculum available to electrical engineering departments that are charged with providing

an introduction to electrical engineering for non-EE majors. The goals of this new curriculum

are to be attractive, motivational, and relevant to students by creating many application-based

problems; and provide the optimal level of both range and depth of coverage of EE topics in a

curriculum package.

The book features:

a. Application-based examples: A large number of application-based examples were

selected from different engineering fields and are included in each chapter. They aim

to bridge EE and diverse non-EE areas. These examples help to address the question:

“why I should take this course?” Non-EE students will better understand: (1) why they

should learn how to solve circuits; and; (2) what are the applications of solving circuits in

mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering areas.

b. PSpice lectures, examples, and problems: The text offers a distributed approach for

learning PSpice. A PSpice component is integrated in many chapters. Chapter 2 provides

an initial tutorial, and new skills are added in Chapters 3 – 11 . This part includes lectures

that teach students how to use PSpice and can be considered as an embedded PC-based lab

for the course. In addition, many PSpice-specific examples have been developed, which

help students better understand the process of building a circuit and getting the desired

results. There are also many end-of-chapter PSpice problems.

c. Innovative chapters: Based on our nationwide survey, the topics in these chapters have

been highlighted by many professionals as important topics for this course. It should be

noted that each instructor has the liberty to include or exclude some of these topics from

his/her curriculum. Some topics include:

• Chapter 1 —Case Study: This chapter presents the applications of electrical engineering

components in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and civil engineer-

ing through real life scenarios. A bridge across these case studies and the topics that

will be covered later in the book is maintained. The goal is to better motivate students

by placing the concepts of electrical engineering in the context of their chosen fields

of study. Each section of this chapter was been prepared by a different member of the

xviii Preface

• Chapter 7 —Frequency Response with MATLAB and PSpice: This chapter discusses

the frequency response of circuits and introduces different types of filters and uses

MATLAB and PSpice examples and end-of chapter problems. This chapter creates an

opportunity for students to learn some features of MATLAB software. In other words,

this chapter promotes an integrated study using both PSpice and MATLAB.

• Power Coverage: Chapters 9, 12, 13— Based on our nationwide survey, and motivated

by concerns about global warming and the need for clean energy, industry respondents

requested a more thorough treatment of power. Thus, power coverage is supported by

three chapters. Chapter 9 introduces the concept of three-phase systems, transmission

lines, their equivalent circuits, and power transfer. Chapter 12 studies another impor-

tant topic of energy transfer—transformers. Finally Chapter 13 studies the topic of

motors and generators. This chapter offers the concept of motors and generators in a

clear and concise approach. The chapter introduces applications of motors and genera-

tors and introduces many applications of both.

• Chapter 15 —Electrical Safety: This unique chapter discusses interesting electric

safety topics useful in the daily life of consumers or engineers working in the field.

d. Examples and sorted end-of-chapter problems: The book comes with more than 1100

examples and end-of-chapter problems (solutions included). End-of-chapter problems are

sorted to help instructors select basic, average, and difficult problems.

e. A complete solution manual: A complete solutions manual for all problems will be avail-

able via download for all adopting professors.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Professor William Bulleit (Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Michigan Tech),

Professor Tony Rogers (Chemical Engineering Department, Michigan Tech) and Professor Harold

Evensen (Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics Department, Michigan Tech) are the

authors of chapter one. The research on this National Science Foundation project was conducted

with the support of many faculty members. Here, in addition to Professor Bulleit, Professor

Rogers and Professor Evensen, I should acknowledge the efforts of Professor Kedmon Hungwe

(Education Department, Michigan Tech), Mr. Glen Archer (Electrical and Computer Engineering

Department, Michigan Tech), Professor Corina Sandu (Mechanical Engineering Department,

Virginia Tech), Professor David Nelson (Mechanical Engineering Department, University of

South Alabama), Professor Sheryl Sorby (Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics

Department, Michigan Tech), and Professor Valorie Troesch (Institute for Interdisciplinary

Studies, Michigan Tech). The preparation of the book was not possible without the support of

many graduate students that include Luke Mounsey, Xiukui Li, Taha Abdelhakim, Shu G. Ting,

Wenjie Xu, Zhonghai Wang, Babak Bastaami, Manaas Majumdar, Abdelhaseeb Ahmed, Daw

Don Cheam, Jafar Pourrostam and Greg Price. I would like to thank all of them. Moreover, I

should thank the support of the book’s grand reviewer Mr. Peter A. Larsen (Sponsored Programs,

Michigan Tech) which improved the quality of its presentation. In addition, I should acknowl-

edge many colleagues whose names are listed below, who reviewed the book and provided me

with invaluable comments and feedback.
