Effective Reading Practices for Engineering Research Articles: An Engineer’s Guide to Reading, Critiquing, and Evaluating Primary LiteratureGarcía Vilchez, Mercedes; Gámez Montero, Pedro JavierEngineering education plays a vital role in serving society, driving ongoing efforts to improve its pedagogy. One such educational tool is the reading of scientific articles, a skill that holds immense value for students who become proficient at it, both academically and professionally. Derived from a synthesis of numerous research studies and practical experiences, this book offers a straightforward and effective approach to reading research articles and developing analytical skills through critical evaluation of their content. Additionally, the book outlines a teaching intervention framework aimed at engaging students in the reading of primary literature, drawing from practical experience in an undergraduate Fluid Technology course. Delving into the nuances of the paper-writing process, from conception to publication, the book provides valuable insights and offers recommendations for increasing motivation and strengthening students’ sense of belonging.- Control and automation in chemical engineering: problemsGuadayol Cunill, José María; Medina Garcia, José LuisThis book shows a solved problems collection with the aim of covering the knowledge requirements of the students of Chemical Engineering. The book begins with feedback systems, after having seen the block diagrams, until the study of stability using the frequency response. Some problems about control systems that are not based on feedback systems, always applied on Chemical Processes (Chapters 1, 2 and 3). The second part of the book is focused on applying in a practical way the concepts of Automation and Control. The chapter 4 solves discrete systems using pneumatic elements and programmable logic devices (PLCs). Finally, chapter 5 deals with the control of continuous processes using a PLC.
- Data visualization with Vega-Altair 5Vázquez Alcocer, Pere PauData visualization lies at the intersection of data science and storytelling, enabling us to discern patterns, trends, and outliers that may otherwise remain concealed within spreadsheets and databases. Altair is a Python data visualization library that offers a unique approach to creating visualizations. Its declarative nature allows users to define what they want to see, rather than how to draw it. This simplicity and elegance make Altair an excellent tool for both beginners and experienced data scientists. The objective of the book is not to cover every aspect of the library, but rather to provide a comprehensive guide, with lots of hands-on examples, that will assist you in creating complex multi-view interactive visualizations. By the end of the book, you should be able to create sophisticated applications that can be included in web pages, and transform them, with little effort, in standalone tools.
- Quantum Computing: Problems and ExercisesTorres Gil, Santiago; Bruna Escuer, Pere; Massignan, Pietro AlbertoQuantum technology is one of the most promising and challenging fields in contemporary science. Quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and more generally quantum information technologies claim that they, in the short term, will change our paradigm of classical computing and communications. Concepts such as duality, superposition, entanglement, teleportation and many others seem to be closer to magic or science fiction than to everyday human experience. However, herein lies also the unlimited power of human thought, which mathematics and physics help us to go beyond our immediate experience of the world. This book, oriented toward undergraduate students pursuing Bachelor’s Degrees in Engineering, draws on the experience of the authors during nearly ten years of work in this field. The book consists of a comprehensive list of exercises with increasing degrees of difficulty. Additional material such as solved problems and a basic compilation of theory is also included in each chapter. The list of topics, which include among others, quantum computing, quantum teleportation, superdense coding, quantum processors or quantum communication protocols, intended for opening doors that will motivate students to continue delving into the field of quantum technologies, which has only just begun to be explored.
- Photonics: An introductory courseTrull Silvestre, José FranciscoPhotonics deals with the applications of light in science and technology including a vast number of different topics from engineering to telecommunications, to medicine, computing, metrology, and on and on. The book covers different topics related to the properties of the coherent interaction of light with matter in the frame of classical electrodynamics introducing the basic concepts in this field to undergraduate students and young researchers approaching this field. The contents include a revision of the fundamental properties of light and of the classical theory of light emission and intro- duces the basic equations describing the propagation of light beams and light pulses, including light propagation in uniaxial crystals and diffraction. A list of solved problems is included at the end of each chapter and the bibliography at the end covers both a basic and a more specialized literature for those students likely to go more deeply into the fascinating ideas of this field.
- Fundamental mechanics: Newtonin mechanics for engineeringJaen Herbera, Javier; Salud Puig, Josep; Serra de Larrocha, Carina; Calaf Zayas, Jaume; Khoury, MariaThis book is addressed at a first course in engineering mechanics. Newtonian mechanics is studied, a non-relativistic classical mechanics and, therefore, applied to objects that are neither extremely small nor excessively fast. The newtonian mechanics affects a good part of the world around us. It is the mechanics of the everyday world. The book includes the basic concepts of mechanics with theoretical demonstrations. You will also find issues and problems, some resolved. The text includes graphs, figures, and diagrams for facilitate understanding. Mainly the foundations of mechanics are studied, but you will also find an introduction to wave phenomena and a small foray into analytical mechanics.
