This unique and innovative manual reinforces the theories learned in electronic communications classes. By performing a series of interactive experiments simulated on the computer and by answering questions about the results of each experiment, students will develop a clearer understanding of the theories that they have learned in the classroom. The 23 computer-simulated experiments do not require extensive laboratory facilities, and circuits can be modified easily with on-screen editing. The analysis results provide faster and better feedback than a series of lab experiments using hardwired circuits. For those who desire a hardwired laboratory environment, circuit diagrams and parts lists are provided for each experiment. An extensive theory section and a series of troubleshooting problems are also included in each experiment. The CD-ROM packaged with the text contains the circuits needed to perform the experiments, the troubleshooting circuits, and a student version of Electronics Workbench Multisim(TM).

Completely revised and updated to incorporate all of the latest information available concerning this intriguing and ever-changing field, this edition of "Modern Electronic Communication" sets every standard for comprehensiveness, quality of presentation, and instructional approach. Key pedagogical-features contribute to this best-selling text's popularity and effectiveness as an 'invaluable learning tool and reference. TROUBLESHOOTING, very important to employers, is addressed in a separate section in every chapter to develop and enhance the readers' problem-solving skills as well as their ability to anticipate problems before they occur. OBJECTIVES and INTRODUCTION at the beginning of each chapter clearly outline specific goals for the reader. LIBERAL USE OF COLOR throughout the text provides necessary clarification of illustrations while adding interest and appeal. EXTENSIVE PROBLEM SETS, WORKED-OUT EXAMPLES, AND END-OF-CHAPTER SUMMARIES, QUESTIONS, AND PROBLEMS (including "Questions for Critical Thinking") highlight and strengthen the impact of key points. KEY TERMS with definitions are highlighted in the margins as they are introduced to foster inquisitiveness and ensure retention. GLOSSARY OF TERMS and DIRECTORY OF ACRONYMS at the end of the book are convenient, comprehensive, and essential references for anyone involved in the industry. In addition all new to the seventh edition: TROUBLESHOOTING WITH ELECTRONICS WORKBENCH(TM) MULTISIM--Each chapter contains EWB Multisim circuit simulations and troubleshooting exercises. ACCOMPANYING CD-ROM brings over 90 percent of the circuitdiagrams from the text to life through Electronics Workbench software. NEW CONTENT AREAS are provided to reflect developments and changes in the industry. For more information about this book, visit our web site at: http: //www.prenhall.com/miller

This is the proceedings of the selected papers presented at 2011 International Conference on Engineering Education and Management (ICEEM2011) held in Guangzhou, China, during November 18-20, 2011. ICEEM2011 is one of the most important conferences in the field of Engineering Education and Management and is co-organized by Guangzhou University, The University of New South Wales, Zhejiang University and Xi’an Jiaotong University. The conference aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, engineers, and students to present their new advances and research results in the field of Engineering Education and Management. This volume comprises 122 papers selected from over 400 papers originally submitted by universities and industrial concerns all over the world.

THE BOOK THAT MAKES ELECTRONICS MAKE SENSE This intuitive, applications-driven guide to electronics for hobbyists, engineers, and students doesn't overload readers with technical detail. Instead, it tells you-and shows you-what basic and advanced electronics parts and components do, and how they work. Chock-full of illustrations, Practical Electronics for Inventors offers over 750 hand-drawn images that provide clear, detailed instructions that can help turn theoretical ideas into real-life inventions and gadgets. CRYSTAL CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE Covering the entire field of electronics, from basics through analog and digital, AC and DC, integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductors, stepper motors and servos, LCD displays, and various input/output devices, this guide even includes a full chapter on the latest microcontrollers. A favorite memory-jogger for working electronics engineers, Practical Electronics for Inventors is also the ideal manual for those just getting started in circuit design. If you want to succeed in turning your ideas into workable electronic gadgets and inventions, is THE book. Starting with a light review of electronics history, physics, and math, the book provides an easy-to-understand overview of all major electronic elements, including: Basic passive components o Resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers o Discrete passive circuits o Current-limiting networks, voltage dividers, filter circuits, attenuators o Discrete active devices o Diodes, transistors, thrysistors o Microcontrollers o Rectifiers, amplifiers, modulators, mixers, voltage regulators ENTHUSIASTIC READERS HELPED US MAKE THIS BOOK EVEN BETTER This revised, improved, and completely updated second edition reflects suggestions offered by the loyal hobbyists and inventors who made the first edition a bestseller. Reader-suggested improvements in this guide include: Thoroughly expanded and improved theory chapter New sections covering test equipment, optoelectronics, microcontroller circuits, and more New and revised drawings Answered problems throughout the book Practical Electronics for Inventors takes you through reading schematics, building and testing prototypes, purchasing electronic components, and safe work practices. You'll find all thisin a guide that's destined to get your creative-and inventive-juices flowing.
