Its the 1st of the month - you know what that means? New Books! We have a smaller list for you this round, but no less interesting. As always if you ever need help finding an item or need a title recommended our librarians are here to assist. All you need to do is ask!
This week's list includes a title published by MSOE's own Dr. Wujie Zhang. Congratulations to Dr. Zhang on this incredible achievement and what luck that we have a copy of it for you to check out!
And now the moment you've been waiting for - NEW BOOKS!
1. A little book on teaching a beginner's guide for educators of engineering and applied science (ebook) - Steven Barrett
It is often a challenging and overwhelming transition to go from being a student to being a teacher. Many new faculty members of engineering and science have to make this dramatic transition in a very short time. Somehow, in this quick transition from student to teacher, one is supposed to become a good teacher and be ready for the first day of school. This book is intended as a basic primer on college-level teaching and learning for a new faculty member of engineering and applied science. New faculty members in other disciplines will find much of the information applicable to their area of expertise as well. First and foremost, this book is about learning and teaching. However, it also provides helpful information on related topics such as mentorship, student challenges, graduate students, tenure, and promotion and accreditation.
2. Microcontroller programming and interfacing with Texas instruments MSP430FR2433 and MSP430FR5994 (ebook) - Steven F. Barrett , Daniel J. Pack
This book provides a thorough introduction to the Texas Instruments MSP430™ microcontroller. The MSP430 is a 16-bit reduced instruction set (RISC) processor that features ultra-low power consumption and integrated digital and analog hardware. This provides for a host of MSP430 products including evaluation boards, compilers, software examples, and documentation. A thorough introduction to the MSP430 line of microcontrollers, programming techniques, and interface concepts are provided along with considerable tutorial information with many illustrated examples. Each chapter provides laboratory exercises to apply what has been presented in the chapter. The book is intended for an upper level undergraduate course in microcontrollers or mechatronics but may also be used as a reference for capstone design projects.
3.Smartphone-based real-time digital signal processing (ebook) - Nasser Kehtarnavaz , Shane Parris , Abhishek Sehgal
Real-time or applied digital signal processing courses are offered as follow-ups to conventional or theory-oriented digital signal processing courses in many engineering programs for the purpose of teaching students the technical know-how for putting signal processing algorithms or theory into practical use. These courses normally involve access to a teaching laboratory that is equipped with hardware boards, in particular DSP boards, together with their supporting software. This book discusses how smartphones can be used as hardware boards for real-time implementation of signal processing algorithms as an alternative to the hardware boards that are currently being used in signal processing teaching laboratories. The fact that mobile devices, in particular smartphones, have now become powerful processing platforms has led to the development of this book, thus enabling students to use their own smartphones to run signal processing algorithms in real-time considering that these days nearly all students possess smartphones.
4. Biopolymer engineering (physical book) - Wujie Zhang
This book introduces engineering students and practitioners to biopolymers, which are polymers derived partially or entirely from biobased (renewable) raw materials, and/or are biodegradable. Biopolymers have unique properties such as biocompatibility, making them valuable in diverse industries. Both natural and synthetic biopolymers have been widely used across various fields, including for biomedical, food, and environmental applications. The book explains the fundamentals of biopolymer engineering and how biosynthetic and biochemical pathways enable the design and manufacturing of biopolymers. It then describes their properties and applications in the food industry, biomedicine and environmental engineering. The book can serve as a textbook for engineering students, including those in bioengineering, materials science and engineering, and biochemical engineering, and as a reference for professionals who are looking to refresh their knowledge in the field. In addition, this book: Introduces the field of biopolymer engineering, from fundamental concepts to applications Offers a concise and up-to-date coverage of biopolymer engineering and can be used as a textbook or a reference guide Explores biopolymer engineering, from basic principles to applications and regulatory aspects.
And there you have it! Our notable new titles with links to take directly to the item. Please reach out to the library with any concerns, questions, or just to say hello! Remember to have a great October!
