5.0 out of 5 stars Too big!, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: English-Spanish, Spanish-English Electrical and Computer Engineering Dictionary (Hardcover)

It's got any term you need in computer and electrical engineering, but it also has an extra 50,000 terms! It is very accurate, and can save the day frequently, but there should also be an abbreviated version for those who only need the main terminology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delivers what is promised., December 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: English-Spanish, Spanish-English Electrical and Computer Engineering Dictionary (Hardcover)

It delivers exactly what it says, electrical and computer engineering terms. Its approach is straightforward, but rather technical. Most any imaginable term in these fields is here, but there is not a sufficient emphasis on the elementary terms in computers. However, most of the omitted terms are of such a general nature that these can be easily found elsewhere. This dictionary is for those whose do serious research or translations. There are other dictionaries for the more general terminology.
