The Fall Term is devoted to an advanced study of Alternating
Current Phenomena as encountered in complex Electric Circuits, Transformers,
Induction Motors, Frequency Changers, Alternators and Synchronous
Motors. The Vector Method is freely employed as by its use
simplified.
During the Winter Term a study is made of Electric Traction and
Traction Apparatus, including the various types of Direct and Alternating
Current railway motors, controllers, brakes, rolling stock,
track, train performance, and electric railway economics.
The work of the Spring Term is in part a resumé of the entire
course, embracing a general study of the Generation and Transmission
of Electrical Energy, Prime Movers, Generating apparatus, auxiliary
apparatus, switchboards, High Tension Transmission Lines, and economic
designs of modern Electric plants and Transmission Systems.
Laboratory exercises run parallel with the lectures throughout the
entire course.
