Extend learning beyond the classroom Pearson eText is an easy-to-use digital textbook that students can purchase on their own or you can assign for your course. Creating a course allows you to personalize your Pearson eText so students see the connection between their reading and what they learn in class -- motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning. Learn more about Pearson eText. Engage students with real-world applications Updated - Technology Briefs (located at em8e.eecs.umich.edu) reflect an expanded scope of topics and connect electromagnetic fundamental concepts to their countless real-world engineering and scientific applications. 52 Web-based Hands-on Simulations illustrate and simulate electromagnetic principles and fields.
The interactive modules are located on the book companion website at em8e.eecs.umich.edu Students can use these valuable learning tools on their own, or instructors can incorporate them into their lecture materials and homework assignments. The multiple window feature of electronic displays makes it possible to design interactive modules with "help" buttons to guide the student through the solution of a problem when needed. Video animations can show how fields and waves propagate in time and space, how the beam of an antenna array can be made to scan electronically, and examples of how current is induced in a circuit under the influence of a changing magnetic field. Build and reinforce conceptual understanding Early Introduction of Transmission Lines allow students to use familiar concepts to learn about many of the properties of wave propagation in a guided structure. Transmission lines constitute a natural bridge between electric circuits and electromagnetics.
Mathematical Explanations of Physical Concepts emphasize using the mathematics to explain and clarify the physics, followed by practical examples intended to demonstrate the engineering relevance of physical concepts. Enhanced - Full-color figures and images help students visualize core concepts. New and Updated - End-of-Chapter Problems and Exercises provide more opportunities for review. The bibliography features current references to help students delve deeper into particular concepts. Instructor Resources and Errata are available at www.pearson.com/ulaby Benefits of creating a Pearson eText course Share highlights and notes with students. Add your personal teaching style to important topics, call out need-to-know information, or clarify difficult concepts directly in the eText.
Access reading analytics. Use the dashboard to gain insight into how students are working in their eText to plan more effective instruction in and out of class. Customize and schedule readings. Rearrange the Pearson eText table of contents at both the chapter and section level to match the way you teach. Add due dates so that students know exactly what to read to come to class prepared. Integrate with your LMS. Get up and running quickly on the first day of class. LMS integration provides institutions, instructors, and students with single sign-on access to Pearson eText via Blackboard Learn(tm), Canvas(tm), Brightspace® by D2L®, and Moodle.
Note: If you integrate Pearson eText with your LMS, students must redeem or purchase access through the LMS. Engage learners with compelling media. Videos and animations bring key concepts to life, helping students place what they are reading into context. (Available with select titles.) Let students check their understanding. Personalized Study Tools are easy to access on both the web and mobile app to help students learn key terms. (Available with select titles.)
