– Follows mathematical derivations and engineering equations are statements indicating “What the Equations Tell Us,” listing the practical meanings of the equations and what guidelines they provide regarding applications.
• End-of-chapter problems – Enables instructors to assign problems in class rather than design these problems themselves.
• Review questions at the end of every chapter.
• Application guidelines – Included in several of the descriptions of the technologies.
• Historical notes and vignettes – Describe the development and historical background of the automation technologies.
• Review questions and problem exercises for each chapter.
