Internet of Things (IoT) – An Engineering Approach: From Principles to Practice provides clear engineering practice guides on developing intelligent sensor/actuator nodes and then forming an IoT system, without the confusion of network/communication protocols.IoT will be widely used in smart homes, smart cities, digital health, and digital manufacturers. However, the development of an IoT system can be complicated since it combines technologies in networking and security, wireless communication, broadband cellular networks, sensors and actuators, data acquisition and real-time embedded systems, edge computing with artificial intelligence, and low-power electronics technologies.All engineering practice topics come with examples mostly from the first-hand materials of the author’s research projects, e.g. digital switching, powering indoor IoT sensor nodes by photovoltaic energy harvesting, laser sensors for greenhouse plant, low-power electronics for implantable neural recording for blowfly, zero-power passive sensing, MEMs capacitor for ultrasound imaging/digital speaker, contactless electrode for physiological measurements, EoG based gaze tracking for augmented reality. Therefore, this book can be used for teaching or used as a reference for relevant research.

Green Building: An Engineering Approach to Sustainable Construction fills a void in green building which has good textbook options for practitioners, architects, and sustainability experts, but not an engineering focused textbook focused on green building. This new text takes an engineering approach to evaluating green building techniques, systems, and materials. The book examines the built environment from inside out, looking at minimizing environmental impacts while also considering the economics and energy use and efficiency. While not a test-prep book, it will provide the knowledge foundation that will help prepare the students to take the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design accreditation exam.As students are often unclear on the evolving employment prospects in this field, particularly for the engineer, the textbook also features six case studies showing different career pathways for engineers in this arena.
