The Electrical Engineering Course

The Course in Electrical Engineering is identical with the Course in Mechanical Engineering for the first two years. During the last two years the student devotes his time about equally to the two lines of work. He is thus able to get a fair knowledge of steam engineering, boiler management, mechanics and kindred subjects, and at the same time to become familiar with the various branches of electrical engineering. This work consists of lectures, text-book and laboratory work. The subjects considered cover the problems which confront an electrician in practical life. This course is in the charge of the professor of physics.

At present the department occupies three rooms, in addition to those belonging to the department of physics. These rooms are the laboratory, fitted with solid tables, where the general work in measurement and testing is done; the dynamo room, containing a dynamo and switch board; and a room for use as a private laboratory for work with the more delicate instruments. It is expected that immediate provision will be made for increasing the efficiency of the work in this department, by the purchase of additional instruments. When the equipment is completed, it is believed that the course will furnish an admirable preparation for work in designing, constructing and managing the various instruments and machines which are to be found in an electrical plant.

Upon graduation the student receives the degree of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering; three years later, on proof of satisfactory advancement and on presentation of a thesis embodying original work or investigation, he receives the degree of Mechanical Engineer or Electrical Engineer, as his professional work may make proper.

From 1900-1901 UMaine Catalog

The Electrical Engineering Course

Professor Webb; Mr. Owen

This course is intended to provide a thorough preparation in the scientific principles involved in the practice of electrical engineering; to explain and illustrate the application of these principles to the design, construction, installation and running of apparatus with which the electrical engineer has to deal, and to give practice and experience in the care and management of the same.

For the first two years the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering courses are identical. During the junior year students in electrical engineering take up electricity and magnetism, and dynamo design. This work is followed in the senior year by recitations, lectures, drawing room and laboratory work in direct and alternating currents.

During this time the student also acquires a knowledge of shopwork, mechanical drawing, mathematics, physics, mechanics, steam engineering and kindred subjects. Beside the technical work he receives training in English, French and German, logic, history, political economy and constitutional law.

The equipment has been largely increased during the past year and the facilities for laboratory work are ample. The apparatus includes most of the standard forms of direct and alternating current machines and instruments.

At graduation the student receives the degree of Bachelor of Science. Upon the completion of one year’s prescribed graduate work in residence, or two years’ in absence, including the presentation of a satisfactory thesis, he receives the degree of Master of Science. Three years after graduation, upon the presentation of a satisfactory thesis and proofs of professional work, he may receive the degree of Electrical Engineer.
