Computer Tools for Electrical Engineers: MATLAB & SPICE is designed to meet the specific needs of electrical and computer engineering undergraduates with little or no prior experience with programming and matrix algebra. Computer Tools focuses on the use of MATLAB within an electrical and computer engineering curriculum, and it concludes with circuit simulation using the freely-available application LTspice by Analog Devices. The text emphasizes the development of practical skills that students will use in future EE and ECE coursework, with programming chapters, practical examples, and problem sets that address common electrical engineering concerns. The design of Computer Tools also draws upon the authors' extensive involvement in pedagogical research, writing, and active learning strategies.
