The principles of electrical engineering are well established and they are unlikely to change during your course or even your lifetime. Therefore, there is no harm in getting ahead of the curve or modifying what you already know from your last electrical engineering course. If you are paying attention in class, that's not a bad habit.

 

What books should you read for your electrical engineering course?

 

Books that fill in the gaps in knowledge. This depends on your level of experience in electrical engineering, but you should start with the freshman basics.

The following is a list of recommended books for any electrical engineer at any stage of his or her career.

 

1. Electrical Engineering Without Prior Knowledge: Understanding the Basics in 7 Days (Becoming an Engineer Without Prior Knowledge)

 

Let's say you are rusty on the fundamentals of electrical engineering. In that case, this book is a must for novices and experienced electrical engineers who need an occasional refresher.

This book will eliminate the challenge of understanding the principles of current, voltage and energy. It covers both DC technology and AC technology so you can understand them at a glance. There are real-life examples and exercises to monitor your performance as you read through the book.

 

Why do we recommend this book? 

1. It gives real-life examples and covers the most important areas of mathematics and physics for this course.
2. The book introduces power, current and voltage in easy-to-understand language.
3. The book includes real electrical diagrams with symbols and layouts.
4. The use of resistors and capacitors is essential to the circuit.
5. Circuits that you can reconstruct and understand.
6. This book delves into real-life applications and gives students insight into why certain components are used or excluded.

 

2. Beginner's Guide to Reading Schematics, Fourth Edition (Electronics)

 

Don't be fooled just because this is a beginner's guide. This is a great resource for revisions of everything you forgot while reading schematics.

The beginner's guide to reading schematics will walk you step-by-step through the schematic and circuit design so you fully understand.

As you go through this basic guide, it will show you relevant and outdated content.
