The Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering attempts to cover all of the key areas of electrical and electronics in approximately 1,400 articles. Articles range in length from a few pages to over thirty pages. All articles are signed and include a bibliography or reading list. Some articles also reference web based information resources. In addition to the core areas, the editor has included materials on photonics, communications, computers, networks, computer engineering, engineering management, and business-related materials.
Internet related topics also receive good coverage.
The editor, John G. Webster, and two electrical engineers searched online databases to create a list of possible article topics. These were divided into subject areas based on the subjects covered by the IEEE transactions . The editorial board was created by recruiting IEEE Transactions editors or individuals suggested by them. Individuals will no doubt look at materials in their field and wonder why some topics were not covered extensively and why other subjects received more comprehensive coverage. The articles are written for engineers and others with a strong technical background.
