This book is a companion to Reeds Vol. 6: Basic Electrotechnology for
Marine Engineers and covers aspects of theory beyond the scope of
Volume 6. The book will cover the more advanced topics in
electrotechnology for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy
Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as the
syllabi in electrotechnology for undergraduates studying for BSc, BEng
and MEng degrees in marine engineering and electrical engineering.
The new edition will provide worked examples and test exam questions,
corresponding to current Merchant Navy Qualifications. Other revisions
will include new material on emerging technology areas such as image
intensifiers (photoelectric effect, secondary emission), thermal imaging
cameras, radar, increased maritime use of LEDs, various semiconductor
physics devices including the laser, as well as discussions of binary or
digital theory.
