ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 151 and Patten. It is open to seniors who have taken at least two years' work in Economics. The class will meet at least twice a week at the convenience of the instructor and students. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 1. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.—Short course of lectures with laboratory practice, intended for students in mechanical engineering and for others who require only a very general acquaintance with dynamoelectric machinery and its use for lighting and power purposes. Spring term, full study. Assistant Professor SWENSON. 3a. DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINERY.—Lectures on theory of dyna- mo-electric machinery, particularly direct-current machines, with experimental study of the same in the dynamo laboratory. The course includes the theory and use of the instruments used in dynamo testing. Fall term, four-fifths study Assistant Professor SWENSON. Required: Physics 4 and Electrical Engineering 11. 3b. DESIGN OF ELECTRO-MAGNETS AND DIRECT-CURRENT MA- CHINERY.—Drafting with supplementary lectures on the practical construction of electro-magnetic mechanisms and dynamo-electric machines. Each student designs one or more electro-magnets for specific duty, and a direct-current dynamo machine, and prepares detailed drawings of the same. Fall term, three-fifths credit. Assistant Professor ESTY. Required: Physics 4 and Electrical Engineering 11. 4a. ALTERNATING CURRENTS AND ALTERNATING CURRENT MA- CHINERY.—Lectures on the theory and application of alternating electric currents, with very complete experimental study of alternating current instruments and apparatus. There will be a short course on electromotive forces of higher frequency and the modern views of electricity. Winter and spring terms, full study. Professor CARMAN and Assistant Professor SWENSON. 4b. DESIGN OF ALTERNATING CURRENT MACHINERY.— Drafting and lectures. Design and construction of alternating current transformers, alternators, and alternating current motors. Typical examples of alternating current apparatus are designed and detailed drawings made. Winter term, three-fifths credit; spring term, one-half credit. Assistant Professor ESTY. Required: Electrical Engineering 3b. 5. PHOTOMETRY.—Lectures and Laboratory. Study of arc and incandescent lamps in connection with their use in electric lighting. Winter term, tivo-fiflhs study. Assistant Professor SWENSON. Required: Electrical Engineering 3.
