COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING. 53 3. Electrical Laboratory.—This course is essentially a course of laboratory work, but lectures may be given or text book work assigned, as is thought best. It includes the measurement of high resistances, cable and line testing, measurements of capacity, the standardizing of ammeters and voltmeters, and electrometer work. The work of the course is taken up with special reference to accuracy and methods of precision. Winter term, 10 hours a week. Professor STBATTON. Required: Physics, 1: Electrical Engineering, 1, 2. 4. Electro-Magnetism and Dynamo-Electric Machinery.—(a) Lectures and text book work. The theory, design, and classification of dynamo-electric machines and motors is considered, together with the efficiency and methods of governing constant current and constant potential machines. (6) Laboratory work, including the testing of dynamos and motors for characteristics, efficiency, regulation, etc. Thompson's Dynamo-Electric Machines, and Thompson's Lectures upon the Electro-Magnet. Winter term, 10 hours a week. Professor STBATTOX. Required: Physics, 1; Electrical Engineering, 1. 5. Alternating Currents and Machines.—(a) Lectures and text book work upon the generation and application of alternating currents, the theory of converters, and the effect of the alternating current. (b) Laboratory practice, consisting of the measurement of the alternating current and testing of alternating current machines. Fleming's Alternate Current Transformer. Spring term, 10 hours a week. Professor STKATTON. Required: Physics, 1; Electrical Engineering, 1, 2, 3. 6. The Installation of Light and Power Plants.—(a) Electric Lighting. Lectures, and Notes. This includes the methods of wiring for arc and incandescent lighting, wiring, rules and regulations, and estimates on the cost of plants. (b) Electrical Distribution of Power. The distribution of power is taken up with especial regard to the electric railway, including estimates. Spring term, 6 hours a week. Professor STRATTON. Requirel: Physics, 1; Electrical Engineering, 1, 4.
