For courses in Introduction Circuits, Circuit Analysis, Electronic Circuit Design and Analysis, and Electronics. This book attempts to answer the questions, Why are we doing this? and What is this used for? when applied to analog electronics. Since most students do not see where or how analog electronics fit into their lives, this book discusses several demonstrations and design examples with the express purpose of showing students some of the cool things that can be done with analog electronics. This book generates engaging real-world examples that show students where analog electronics fit into the overall engineering picture, raises their interest in electronics, and illustrates some of the basic principles. Unique approach - Features real-world examples of complete circuit designs. There are no competing texts with the purpose of showing students the interesting aspects of electronics to try to get them to take more courses in electronics. Makes the book much more enjoyable, making students more interested in the field of electronics. Covers circuit design from several aspects - Theory, simulation, practical considerations, and lab verification. Amplifier; Infrared Bug Sucker; Birthday Candle Blower; Klingon Pain Stick; and Electronic Hotdog Cooker. Helps students relate to the material better.
