Electrical Engineering 1. [Holladay].
The work of the Fall Term is devoted to the study of the fundamental
principles of Electrical Measurements, and Electric and Magnetic
Circuits. The Arithmetic of Electrical Engineering is emphasized
by the solution of numerous well graded exercises. A parallel
course in the laboratory familiarizes the student with measuring instruments
and their uses in making tests.
The work of the Winter Term is devoted to the study of the theory
and operation of Direct Current Machinery. In the laboratory the
student submits his theory to test by determining the characteristics
and constants of commercial types of Direct Current Generators and
Motors.
During the Spring Term a study of Telephony is undertaken in
which the general principles of telephony, the design and construction
of commercial apparatus and the circuits connecting such apparatus
into operative systems are discussed. The year's work is completed
by a brief study of Primary and Secondary Batteries, the theory of
their reactions, the methods of manufacture, and some of the uses of
batteries.
