Special problems relating to electrical engineering will be arranged to meet the
needs of students wishing to do advanced work in the field of electricity. The Institute
is equipped to an unusual degree for the following lines of work: Theory of
Electrical Machine Design, Electric Transients, and High Voltage Engineering Problems,
under the direction of Professors R. W. Sorensen and F. C. Lindvall; Electrical
Engineering Problems using vacuum tubes under the direction of Professor S. S.
Mackeown; Electrical Engineering Problems relating to the distribution and uses of
electric power for lighting and industrial uses under the direction of Professor
F. W. Maxstadt.
EE. 220. Research Seminar in Electrical Engineering. 2 units required;
additional units based on work done. First, second and third terms.
Meets once a week for discussion of work appearing in the literature and in
