Junior.
Problem hour, 12-1, Th. Lectures, 10-11, M. W. F.
900. Elements of Electrical Engineering.
Lectures treating fundamental principles of Electrical Engineering;
basic ideas and fundamental units discussed; magnetic circuits and continuous
electric currents treated in detail; electromagnetism carefully studied.
Special attention is given to the physical conceptions involved, and numerous
assigned problems exemplify and broaden the theoretical discussions.
(Fall.)
901. Direct Current Machines.
Lectures on the theory, construction, characteristics, and operation of
direct current generators and motors and the accessory apparatus required
for the proper management and control of these machines. The principles
of testing such machines are carefully discussed. Problems illustrating the
methods of calculation involved in continuous current circuits and practical
examples from standard engineering practice form an important part of the
work. (Winter.)
902. Periodic Currents.
Lectures on electrostatic phenomena, variable currents, alternating currents,
and alternating current circuits, both single and polyphase. A careful
study is made of circuits with periodic currents and their characteristics
when resistance, inductive reactance and capacity reactance are present in
their various combinations. Extensive problem work is required to facilitate
the treatment of simple and complex circuits. (Spring.)
