"This is a must-get book for anyone unfamiliar with electronics!" - Mike Varela
Product Description
With Optional Lab Experiments. Turn to this multipurpose reference for a practical understanding of electronics in the factory of laboratory. It's perfect for people who are not electrical engineers but who need to use electronic equipment every day at work. Avoid or solve common problems in the use of electronics in the factory or lab and optimize the use of measurement and control equipment with this helpful resource. The guide is easy to understand by anyone who has taken a high school physics course - yet it provides quick, specific solutions for such electronics issues as feedback oscillation, ground loops, impedance mismatch, noise pickup, and optimization of PID controllers. Use Industrial Electronics for Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians as a hands-on resource to handle typical electronics questions as they arise, as a self-study text to provide a broad background for understanding general electronics issues and design, or even for an instructor-led, on-the-job training course in shop or lab electronics. Because of the highly detailed explanations in the book, instructors themselves do not need to be experts. Of course, the volume is perfect for use as a textbook in college and vocational school courses. The laboratory experiments are optional and may be used merely as examples. Components are inexpensive and can be obtained from consumer electronics stores such as Radio Shack or form electronics suppliers on the Web. The circuit diagrams are greatly simplified and completely understandable, with every component explained. Key features: explains how capacitors, inductors, relays, self-starting ac motors, transistors, and integrated circuits actually work shows how to prevent or fix ground loops, feedback oscillations, noise pickup, and impedance mismatch teaches readers how to design simple, special-purpose circuits such as amplifiers, latching registers, oscillators, and SCR controllers provides an understanding of more complex devices including laser printers, copying machines, and analog and digital systems.

First Sentence
Instead of an introductory chapter that presents a mass of text about the history of electronics, or its importance in modern life, this chapter will start right in with experiments illustrating the "inductive kick" that sometimes destroys expensive computers. Read the first page

Quite an introductory level book, as it sets out to be. If your are a (UK) science or engineering graduate you may find the text rater trivial.
Some circuits connect directly to the mains which is considerably more hazardous in the UK compared to USA. If you don't understand why that is so then I strongly suggest you that you don't undertake those experiments.
Is this a book that will remain on my bookshelf? No, but then it taught me nothing.
It wasn't worth the price. If you want to learn electronics then there are better books e.g. The Art of Electronics ed2 The Art of Electronics (though this is now somewhat dated).

Industrious little book!
18 Sep 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book is both lab manual and textbook, so if you do not have the exact measuring instruments the labs call for, you can skip lots of sections where the author really gets into setting the tests up. The primary value of this book for me were the clear explanations that came with the labs on how electronic components worked; but more importantly, how they related to one another and what they mean in a circuit. This book provides some valuable intuitive insights necessary to understand electronics, and I haven't seen this level and concentration of lucid discourse in any other electronics textbooks so far. This is a must-get book for anyone unfamiliar with electronics!

Who Said Electronics Isnt Any Fun ? Five Stars
17 April 2001
Format:Hardcover
I had Dr. Shanefield as a professor at Rutgers for many courses especially in the area of electronic ceramics and I enjoyed his classes.
This book is a great book because:
- It makes a typically complicated subject manner like electronics and circuits understandable and enjoyable.
- It is simple, easy to follow and very well organized.
- College courses focus in on the theory where this book provides the theory and most important the applications to practice and further understand.
I think this is a great book to have at your personal disposal. I would also like to state that my food scientist wife who hated electronics because she didn't understand it, now enjoys this subject matter and has a great deal of fun performing and understanding the labs. I too enjoy performing the labs as well.
Kudos Dr. Shanefield !
