Book Description

0815514670 978-0815514671 December 17, 2007 1
Turn to this multipurpose reference for a practical understanding of electronics in the factory or 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 courseùyet 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 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 from electronics suppliers on the Web. The circuit diagrams are greatly simplified and completely understandable, with every component explained.

More About the Author

Daniel Jay Shanefield (born 1930 in Orange, New Jersey, USA) is a ceramic engineer.
(For personal info, visit: http://shanef28.blogspot.com/ )
Shanefield earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Rutgers University in 1956; he went on to graduate studies at the same university, receiving his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Rutgers in 1962. He worked from 1962 to 1967 at ITT Research Laboratories, and from 1967 to 1986 at Bell Laboratories. In 1986 he returned to Rutgers as a Professor II (a professorial rank at Rutgers that is one step above a normal full professor).

At Bell Laboratories, Shanefield was the co-inventor with Richard E. Mistler of the tape casting technique for forming thin ceramic films. He pioneered the development of a phase-change memory system based on an earlier patent of Stanford R. Ovshinsky; Shanefield's work in this area "represented the first proof of the phase change memory concept". Beginning in the mid-1970s, Shanefield was an early proponent of double-blind ABX testing of high-end audio electronics; in 1980 he reported in High Fidelity magazine that there were no audible differences between several different power amplifiers, setting off what became known in audiophile circles as "the great debate".

5.0 out of 5 stars Industrious little book!, September 18, 2002
This review is from: Industrial Electronics for Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians: With Optional Lab Experiments (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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who Said Electronics Isnt Any Fun ? Five Stars, April 17, 2001
By 
Saad Attiyah (Flemington, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Industrial Electronics for Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians: With Optional Lab Experiments (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 !
