Inhaltsangabe

Discover how this topic is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Science ― Electrical Engineering.

Following on from other titles in this series (Civil Engineering and Chemical Engineering), comes another branch – electrical. Explore 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 used throughout our homes, from washing machines to toothbrushes, as well as in high-tech robotics and AI that are assisting humans in every corner of the world. Plus, meet the engineers and scientists whose discoveries are changing our lives for the better, including Yvette Stevens, Tim Berners-Lee and Wendy Carlos. Readers can also carry out engineering experiments at home.

With easy-to-understand text written by Jenny Jacoby, plus fun callouts, photographs, diagrams, and lots of colourful artwork illustrated by Luna Valentine, readers can explore where we encounter electrical engineering and why it’s important.

The Everyday STEM series makes STEM relevant to tweens. These books, including Everyday STEM Science – Physics, show readers how we use science, technology, engineering and maths in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes concepts age-appropriate and accessible.
