Build the essential design skills you need to succeed in the industry!

Eric Salt and Robert Rothery′s Design for Electrical and Computer Engineers guides you through each stage of the engineering process, from start to finish. As you work through the text, you′ll develop a trong theoretical framework and master practical techniques that you can rely on throughout your academic and professional careers.

You′ll learn how to define a customer′s needs and the design problem, synthesize solutions, evaluate alternatives, and complete the systems level design. The text also addresses the important issues of documentation and testing. In addition, you′ll find a number of examples and templates throughout the text, including suggested outlines for design documents such as design specifications, project plans, and test plans.
