Everyday STEM Engineering – Electrical Engineering (Everyday STEM) [9780753478974]

Overview

Discover how the electrical section of engineering is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM — Electrical Engineering.

Following on from Everyday STEM – Civil Engineering and Everyday STEM – Chemical Engineering comes another branch of engineering – electrical. Explore all about this fascinating side of engineering: what is involved, where we see it, and how it is used. Inventions in this realm can be instantly available to the entire world via our electronic devices – and can quickly make a difference. Electrical engineering is also found throughout our homes from our washing machines to our toothbrushes. Robotics and AI are also discussed. Plus, meet the engineers and scientists whose discoveries are changing our lives for the better. Readers can also carry out cool engineering experiments at home.

With easy-to-understand text written by Jenny Jacoby, and lots of colorful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter electrical engineering and why it’s even important at all.

The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success, these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering, and math in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can’t promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.
