CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
ADVANCED SUBJECTS
STUDY AND RESEARCH IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
The science of electrical engineering has, due to advances in physics
and its applications, reached a status such as to demand electrical engineers
qualified to conduct researches involving a knowledge of mathematics,
physics, and electrical engineering far in excess of that obtainable
in an undergraduate engineering course. To meet this need the Institute
has provided courses of graduate study and research in electrical engineering
which may be taken by students who have completed the five-year
engineering course at the Institute, or by students from other colleges
who have substantially the same preparation.
Students desiring to become research men, college teachers or professional
experts in electrical engineeI;ing will naturally continue their work
at least two years more for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. '
This graduate school of electrical engineering greatly strengthens the
undergraduate courses by bringing students, who feel the five and fouryear
courses are best adapted to their needs, in close touch with research
men and problems, and by providing special work for undergraduate
students wishing to do a limited amount of research work.
EE. ZOO. ADVANCED WORK IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
Special problems relating to electrical engiueering 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 Professor R. W. Sorensen; Electrical Engineering Problems
using vacuum tubes under the direction of Professor S. S. MackeoWll;
Electrical Engineering Problems relating to the distribution and uses
of electric power for lighting and industrial uses under the direction of
Mr. F. W. Maxstadt.
EE. ZZO. SEHLXAR ON TECHNICAL HIGH VOLTAGE PROBLEMS. Units
to be based on work done; first, second and third terms.
A study of the literature of high voltage phenomena, and insulation
problems.
Instructor: Sorensen.
EE. ZZI a, b. TRANSMISSION LINE PROllLEIIIS. 15 units.
A study of transmission line transient problems, inductive interference,
power limit analysis, etc.
Instructor: Sorensen.
