Mathcad For Electrical Engineers And Technologists

The object of this book is to quickly teach an electrical engineer or technologist how to use Mathcad. Mathcad simultaneously solves and documents calculations. It is oriented toward non-programmers who need to solve numerical engineering problems. Users like Mathcad because its programs follow the natural format of manual calculations. Complete keystroke-to-keystroke details are provided for problem solution and documentation. The reader learns by example. As a calculating tool, Mathcad solves equations. The equations are entered into Mathcad in a format similar to that used in manual calculations. It will solve mesh equations with real or complex numbers and will solve differential equations. Outputs can be numerical or graphical. Mathcad will also do symbolic calculations, meaning that it can reduce complex systems of equations to simpler equations. Documenting calculations is a major reason that Mathcad is used in modern industry. Calculations that in the past might have been recorded in notebooks, or even on easily lost scraps of paper, are now done with Mathcad to take advantage of the accuracy, neatness, traceability, and standardization it provides. Mathcad is available in a free 30 day demonstration version. The key features of Mathcad can be learned in 30 days.

MATLAB is a popular program. A MATLAB website states ¿Over 1,000,000 engineers and scientists¿.use MATLAB and Simulink.¿ Monster.com has hundreds of advertisements for jobs requiring MATLAB. The first purpose of this book is to quickly teach an electrical engineer or technologist how to use MATLAB. The reader learns by example. Complete keystroke-to-keystroke details are provided for problem solution and documentation. Most of this book¿s examples demonstrate MATLAB¿s abilities as a stand-alone programming language for performing numeric electrical computations. Also, two MathWorks add-on programs are demonstrated, the Optimization Toolbox, and Simulink. The second purpose of this book is to demonstrate MATLAB solutions of practical electrical problems. The simplest and most basic uses of MATLAB are in the first examples. Later examples demonstrate more complex capabilities. The reader could use the examples¿ solutions as starting models for his own programs. It is assumed that the reader has an analytical electrical background of the sort that would be gained in a university electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology program. MATLAB is available in a free 30 day Demonstration version. Its key features can be learned in 30 days.

Using the author’s considerable experience of applying Mathcad to engineering problems, Engineering with Mathcad identifies the most powerful functions and features of the software and teaches how to apply these to create comprehensive engineering calculations. Many examples from a variety of engineering fields demonstrate the power and utility of Mathcad’s tools, while also demonstrating how other software, such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, can be incorporated effectively. This simple, step-by-step approach makes this book an ideal Mathcad text for professional engineers as well as engineering and science students. A CD-ROM packaged with the book contains all the examples in the text and an evaluation version of the Mathcad software, enabling the reader to learn by doing and experiment by changing parameters. * Identifies the key Mathcad functions for creating comprehensive engineering calculations * A step-by-step approach enables easy learning for professional engineers and students alike * Includes a CD-ROM containing all the examples in the text and an evaluation version of the Mathcad software

This book describes the key elements of the subject of surface penetrating radar, and in general terms the inter-relationship between those topics in electromagnetism, soil science, geophysics and signal processing which form part of its design.

Now you can design a learning package that fits your introductory engineering course perfectly with The Engineer's Toolkit: A First Course in Engineering. The Engineer's Toolkit is Prentice Hall's innovative publishing program for introductory engineering. Consisting of modules that cover engineering skills and concepts, programming languages and software tools, The Engineer's Toolkit is a flexible solution for keeping up with the evolving curriculum of first-year engineering.
