Abstract :
Dean Erich Hausmann, in charge of Graduate Study at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, has announced the appointment of Doctor Vladimir Karapetoff, Professor of Electrical Engineering, Cornell University as Visiting Professor at the Institute. Doctor Karapetoff will conduct a seminar in “Contemporary Advances in Electrical Engineering”, including a review of the theory, construction and application of various groups of electrical machinery, the modern trend of development and the principal problems in the design, manufacture and operation of major types of electrical apparatus, as well as the analysis of recent literature on controversial points in electrical engineering and the prediction of probable paths of future development. He will also give a course in “Electric Waves”, a study of the physical characteristics of wavest raveling along parallel conductors, and the transmission and reflection of energy at junctions and line terminals. This course includes a study of the propagation, reflection and refraction of waves in free spaces, variation of the electromagnetic energy and the characteristics of transmission media.
