•>- UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. 9. Mechanical Laboratory.—The work of this course in the winter term is designed to give the student practical experience in the testing of steam engines and boilers. In the spring term the student takes up some special line of work as seems best suited to his needs. Winter and spring terms, 10 hours a week. Professor SCRIBNEK. Required: Math., 2, 4, 6, 7; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 10. Estimates.—In this course estimate are made of the cost of power and heating plants, including the various forms of contracts and specifications. Spring term, 5 hours a week. Professor SCKIBNER. Required: Math., 2, 4, 6; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering, 1. ELECTRICAL EXGIXEEREX&. 1. Electrical Measurements.—This course is designed to bring before the student the systems of electrical units, together with the ordinary problems of electrical measurement and measuring apparatus. (a) Lectures twice a week upon the theory of instruments, electrical units, and theory of electricity. (b) Laboratory work consisting of the determination of galvanometer constants, measurements of resistances by the various Wheatstone bridge methods, electro-motive force, and current measurements. Stewart and Gee's Electricity and Magnetism; Kempe's Hand Book of Electrical Testing. Spring term, 10 hours a week. Professor STRATTOX. Required: Physics, 1. 2. Primary and Secondary Batteries. (a) Lectures upon the theory of primary and secondary batteries, and eloctrolysis. (b) Laboratory practice. This follows 1 (6), and includes the testing and selection of primary batteries for special purposes, the measurement of the internal resistance, polarization and electro-motive force by the condenser and other accurate methods, the testing of secondary batteries for efficiency, and the changes during charge and discharge. Carhart's primary Batteries ; Reynier's Voltaic Accumulators. Fall term, 10 hours a week. Professor STRATTOX. Required: Physics, 1; Electrical Engineering, 1.
