The focus of the book, Foundations of Electrical Engineering, is to prepare undergraduate electrical engineering students for higher-level courses.
UTPB Electrical Engineering Department Coordinator and Assistant Professor, Omar Beg, published a book that is available to students across the nation.
The focus of the book, Foundations of Electrical Engineering, is to prepare undergraduate electrical engineering students for higher-level courses such as Signals and Systems, Digital Circuit Design, Microprocessors, Control Systems, Power Systems, and more.
Beg explained the idea for the book stemmed from the engineering education accreditation authority, ABET, requirement to include advanced mathematics such as differential equations, linear algebra, complex variables, and discrete mathematics in the curriculum for electrical engineering.
“A need was felt to introduce a course titled Foundations of Electrical Engineering that covered topics such as complex variables and discrete mathematics,” Beg said.
When looking for a book that would provide students with the tools they need to succeed in the class, Beg discovered there was not one that would suffice.
“There is no single book available in the market to cover the topics of complex variables and discrete mathematics and their applications in electrical engineering,” Beg said. “The main idea is to use this book as a textbook for the course ‘Foundations of Electrical Engineering.’”
Beg said he hopes this book will allow students to gain a better knowledge of these topics that will prepare them for the higher-level electrical engineering courses they take.
“The book has two sections,” Beg said. “Section 1 covers complex variables and section 2 covers discrete mathematics. Each section is further divided into three chapters.”
The book is currently in its Beta Edition and will undergo improvements periodically. It can be purchased by visiting the UTPB Bookstore or online at linuslearning.com.
