LABORATORY COURSES.

950-951-952. Direct Current Laboratory. [Rodman.]

4 hours a week.

This course supplements 900-1. The laboratory work is devoted to a
study of electrical instruments, their use and manipulation; simple electrical

circuits and study of direct current apparatus and its operation; characteristics
of generators and motors. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

953-954-965. Alternating Current Laboratory. [Rodman.]

4 hours a week.

This course supplements 902-3-4-15, dealing with measuring instruments
for alternating current circuits; series and parallel circuits and their
characteristics; polyphase circuits, balanced and unbalanced; and alternating
current generator, motor and transformer characteristics. (Fall,
Winter, Spring.)

956. Photometric Laboratory. [Rodman.]

3 hours a week.

This course accompanies 906. Photometric tests are made upon different
types of incandescent lamps. The operating characteristics of incandescent
and arc lamps are studied. Tests of illumination, interior and exterior,
are carried out. Study of photometric standards and devices.
(Fall.)

959. Electrical Laboratory. [Rodman.]

3 hours a week.

This course deals particularly with the more precise electrical measurements
and the manipulation of instruments of precision used in the
higher grade of electrical testing and standardization. (Spring.)

960-961-962. Electrical Laboratory. [Rodman.]

4 hours a week.

This course supplements 910-11-12. The work of the first term is devoted
to direct current tests; the second term exercises are on alternating
current circuits and machines; the course in the third term is largely concerned
with calculations and drawings for typical industrial equipments of
electrical machines and controls. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

The University of Virginia branch of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers holds regular meetings for the discussion of periodical literature
and the exposition by resident and visiting engineers of present-day
problems in Electrical Engineering.
