Connect with and motivate students–right in their Pearson eText

Pearson eText offers an affordable, simple-to-use mobile reading experience that lets instructors and students extend learning beyond class time. Learn more about Pearson eText.

Engage students with real-world applications

• Updated - Technology Briefs (located at em8e.eecs.umich.edu)reflect an expanded scope of topics andconnect electromagnetic fundamental concepts to their countless real-world engineering and scientific applications.
• 52 Web-based Hands-on Simulations illustrate and simulate electromagnetic principles and fields. The interactive modules are located on the book companion website at em8e.eecs.umich.edu
• Students can use these valuable learning tools on their own, or instructors can incorporate them into their lecture materials and homework assignments.
• The multiple window feature of electronic displays makes it possible to design interactive modules with “help” buttons to guide the student through the solution of a problem when needed.
• Video animations can show how fields and waves propagate in time and space, how the beam of an antenna array can be made to scan electronically, and examples of how current is induced in a circuit under the influence of a changing magnetic field.

Build and reinforce conceptual understanding

• Early Introduction of Transmission Lines allowstudents to use familiar concepts to learn about many of the properties of wave propagation in a guided structure. Transmission lines constitute a natural bridge between electric circuits and electromagnetics.
• Mathematical Explanations of Physical Concepts emphasize using the mathematics to explain and clarify the physics, followed by practical examples intended to demonstrate the engineering relevance of physical concepts.
• Enhanced - Full-color figures and images help students visualize core concepts.
• New and Updated - End-of-Chapter Problems and Exercises provide more opportunities for review.
• The bibliography features current references to help students delve deeper into particular concepts.
• Instructor Resources and Errata are available at www.pearson.com/ulaby

Connect with and motivate students – directly in your Pearson eText

• Schedule readings to keep students on track: Instructors can create due dates for sections or chapters of their eText so that students know exactly what they need to read to come to class prepared. The mobile app also lets students set notifications to remind them of due dates.
• Extend the learning experience, anytime and anywhere: The mobile app lets students use their eText whenever they have a moment in their day, on Android and iPhone mobile phones and tablets. Offline access ensures students never miss a chance to learn.
• Help students focus on what they need to study: Students can make their Pearson eText their own by creating highlights with meaningful labels and notes. The customizable Notebook lets students easily filter, arrange, and group their notes in a way that makes sense to them.
• Help students see how reading is relevant to the course: Notes and highlights allow educators to share information directly with students within their eText. It’s easy to add your own personal teaching style to important topics, call out need-to-know details, or clarify difficult concepts.
• Gain insight into how students use their eText: Reading analytics let educators see how students work in their eText so that you can plan more effective instruction.

• Quickly set up and access your course
• Straightforward setup makes it incredibly easy for educators to get students up and running quickly on the first day of class.
• LMS integration provides institutions, instructors, and students with single sign-on access to your Pearson eText courses via Blackboard Learn™, Canvas™, Brightspace® by D2L, and Moodle™.
• Provide an affordable option: Pearson eText delivers the same high-quality content of a print book at an affordable price.
