This review of Discipline Specific material builds on the general information as presented in the morning session of the Review book. Because of the listed topic areas that will be covered in afternoon examination such as electromagnetic fields, three-phase relationships, ac machines, solid state devices, etc., without mention of circuit analysis, the examination surely assumes a more sophisticated circuit analysis than given in the morning review. For example, the morning section presents both Thevenin's and Norton's theorems in the simplest kinds of circuits; whereas these techniques, if extended, may be used effectively for simplifying and solving a host of otherwise difficult problems such as transient analysis, maximum power transfer, node analysis, etc. Also, the subjects of dependent sources and mutual inductances (from a circuits point of view), while probably not addressed in the morning examination, may well be assumed in the afternoon session. A portion of circuit analysis will be presented in the following sections.

Before any review is began, the reader should have several former texts available for reference on the various subjects studied. For those who don't have a collection of their old college texts, most of the following chapters will list especially good (in this authors opinion) texts that should be available in most technical libraries.
