Engineers searching for an accessible introduction to resistance circuits will benefit from this book that emphasizes the early development of engineering judgment. The new sixth edition takes them beyond simply analyzing circuits, and helps them develop the skills needed to solve problems, design practical alternatives, and choose the best design from several competing solutions. It presents new design problems and unique evaluation problems. The book's abundance of realistic examples, exercises, problems, applications, and other pedagogical tools such as clearly defined objectives build confidence and judgment. Engineers will gain an understanding of early circuit analysis, early circuit design, and early circuit evaluation.
