Chapter 1. Introduction

Within the last decade, electrical, electronic, and computer engineering have become increasingly intertwined. Although it is difficult to define what separates these disciplines in terms of theory, the applications and experimental work related to each discipline have distinctive features and, therefore, require special attention.

Most conventional textbooks provide a limited number of worked examples, which, in general, are used merely to illustrate facts that have previously been discussed. The computer-based framework, however, can provide students with alternative study questions along with meaningful, contemporary, and relevant practical experience, while not being restricted by limitations on resources such as infrastructure ...
