electrical engineering

"[Relates] the 250-year history of electricity through the stories of the men and women who used it to transform our world: Benjamin Franklin, James Watt, Michael Faraday, Samuel F.B. Morse, Thomas Edison, Samuel Insull, Albert Einstein, Rachel Carson, Elon Musk, and more"--Provided by publisher.

"Carefully leveled text and vibrant photographs introduce early readers to the work electrical engineers do and the preparation necessary for an engineering career. Includes infographics, an activity, glossary, and index"--Provided by the publisher.

Introduces what it takes to succeed as an electrician, discussing the necessary educational steps, useful character traits, potential hazards, and daily job tasks related to this career.

This book lays out what qualifications and training are necessary to become a operating and stationary engineer.

Without electrical engineers, the world we live in would look very different. Telephones (both landlines and cell phones), televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, video games, and many other aspects of our modern world were made possible by the advances of electrical engineering.

An introduction to careers in electrical engineering and includes projects for practicing related skills.

Readers will learn what it takes to succeed as an electrician. The book also explains the necessary educational steps, useful character traits, potential hazards, and daily job tasks related to this career. Sidebars include thought-provoking trivia. Questions in the backmatter ask for text-dependent analysis. Photos, a glossary, and additional resources are included.

Describes ArduinoTM microcontrollers, how they work, and what they can be used for. Includes several do-it-yourself microcontroller projects and additional resources for young people interested in electronics, programming, and "making" culture.

Designed to give readers the "building blocks" of electricity concepts, the sequence of topics and practical applications in this book will provide a solid foundation in electron theory and movement, direct-current series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, voltage line drops, rotating machinery fundamentals, and more! Electricity 1: Devices, Circuits and Materials, 9th Edition follows the same user-friendly approach that made previous editions so effective, while incorporating updates based on the 2008 National Electrical Code. Featuring current industry terminology, photographs of commonly used electrical equipment, and sample problems with solutions, this is an ideal choice for a first course in basic electricity, house wiring, or commercial installations..

Teaches how to be safe and smart around electricity. Learn about conductors and insulators and why it can be dangerous if a person becomes part of an electrical circuit. Discover how products that use electricity are tested for safety.
