Electrical Engineering: First Course. E-book. Formato PDF Ernst Julius Berg   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

A text-book in electrical engineering emanating from Union College may be the occasion of some surprise to those who have been conversant with the development Of the electrical course in that institution. The authors have, it is true', recorded their Objections to the use Of a prescribed text. These Objections still hold good. In brief, they are, first, that a prescribed text tends to take the life out Of the class room, whether the course be con ducted by lectures or recitations, and second, that it tends to take the life out Of the study by relieving the student Of responsibility of continued effort. At Union College the fundamental aim is that the student Shall first comprehend, and then create. Comprehension comes through directed effort. This, the student acquires readily in the laboratory, but in the class room, it is not SO easy. The recitation falls short because it deals with the individual rather than the class. The lecture fails when the student knows he can fall back upon the text-book. The fault, however, is not with the text-book itself, but with the use that is made Of it. Obviously, then, its proper use is as a means Of directing the student's effort toward comprehension. Indeed, it Should com pel effort, not in order to make up for an author's failure to ex press himself clearly, but in order that the ideas Shall sink in and make permanent impressions on the mind. The book Should, therefore, be SO constructed and used that it shall be an additional aid to the student in creating his own expression Of the ideas with which he is brought into contact in the lecture, the recitation and the laboratory. It is desirable that fundamental ideas shall become fixed and clear in the student's mind as soon as possible, thus leaving him in a position to exert his full mental effort on that which is more advanced.

Electrical Energy: Its Generation, Transmission, and Utilization. E-book. Formato PDF Ernst Julius Berg   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

IN the following treatise it has been assumed that the student is in a general way familiar with the fundamental principles Of electrical engineering and to some extent with the theories Of the various phenomena and apparatus involved. For this reason, when the equations used are found in elementary text books, no endeavor is made to deduce them, but their applica tion to practical problems is given. The deductions are, how ever, made when not otherwise readily available.

Electrical Engineering: Advanced Course. E-book. Formato PDF Ernst Julius Berg   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

This volume contains abstracts of a series of lectures given to graduate students in electrical engineering at Union College. It is primarily intended to prepare the student to understand and to deal mathematically with phenomena which are incidental to abnormal or transient conditions in electric circuits.
