"…whether the reader is an enterprising young striver or a highly seasoned professional who has 'been around the block,' one may find some tidbits of real-world wisdom within these pages." ( Software Quality Professional , June 2005) "...imparts important skills: setting priorities, working in a team, being more effective at meetings, speaking in front of a group, negotiating personal or business issues, dealing with stress, and having more fun in the process." ( Mechanical Engineering , February 2005) "This useful book is a primer-or perhaps a survival guide…imparts useful knowledge in a fairly painless way. Selinger isn't just teaching business skills; he's teaching life skills." ( Civil Engineering , February 2005) This is a great book because the author is taking basic theory and providing the reader with some good intuitive tools to gain a foothold on how components work. Many textbook authors in the circuit analysis arena tend to do one of 3 things; a) Over explain a concept until the reader loses track of what he is doing b) Skip too many steps in showing the derivation of a formula or the solving of a problem. c) Place more emphasis on the mathematics associated with specific problem rather than the problems significance. The author clearly avoids these traps. His text is reminiscent of a bygone era where engineering books actually sought to explain concepts and their significance. Engineering, much like science, is a broad discipline which is often broken down into several sub-disciplines. These disciplines concern themselves with differing areas of this field. Although initially an engineer will be trained in a specific discipline, throughout thier career the engineer may become multi-disciplined, having worked in several of the outlined areas. Historically the main Branches are categorized as follows: With the rapid advancement of Technology many new fields are gaining prominence and new branches are developing such as Computer and Software Engineering, Nanotechnology, Molecular and Mechatronics etc. These new specialties sometimes combine with the traditional fields and form new branches such as Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical and Computer Engineering. A new or emerging area of application will commonly be defined temporarily as a permutation or subset of existing disciplines; there is often gray area as to when a given sub-field becomes large and/or prominent enough to warrant classification as a new "branch." One key indicator of such emergence is when major universities start establishing departments and programs in the new field. For each of these fields there exists considerable overlap, especially in the areas of the application of sciences to their disciplines such as physics, chemistry and mathematics.
