Excerpt from Electrical Engineering Laboratory Experiments To make laboratory teaching effective, the student should be carefully supervised at the beginning of his course in order that he may learn as rapidly as possible the fundamentals of electrical testing, and use them as his tools for the more advanced work. He should then be assigned work which will require original think ing, and be required to rely more or less upon his own resources. He should be encouraged to hunt up some problem in which he is particularly interested and tackle it as a real research proposition. In this way he will unconsciously exercise his initiative and prefer to rely upon his own resources. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It Has Often Been Experienced That Students Are Required To Perform Experiments On Certain Topic Before The Relevant Theory Has Been Taught In The Class. A Laboratory Manual Which, In Addition To A Set Of Instructions For Performing Experiments, Includes Related Theory In Brief Could Help Students Understand Experiments Better.In Response Of Demand From A Large Number Of States For An Appropriate Aboratory Manual In Basic Electricity And Electrical Measurements, The T.T.T.I., Chandigarh, Has Prepared This Manual Which Has Been Tried Out In Various Polytechnics And Improved Based On The Feedback. The Basic Objective Of The Manual Is To Encourage Students To Perform Experiments Independently And Purposefully. The Manual Organises The Information To Enable The Students To Verify Known Concepts And Principles And To Follow Certain Procedures And Practices And Thereby Acquire Relevant Skills.Detailed Instructions For Carrying Out Each Experiment Alongwith Relevant Theory In Brief Have Been Given. The Objectives For Performing An Experiment Have Been Included At The Beginning Of Each Experiment. A List Of Questions Given At The End Of Each Experiment Will Help Students Evaluate His Own Understanding.The Manual Also Includes Guidelines For Students And Teachers For Its Effective Use. An Assessment Proforma Given At The Beginning Of The Manual May Be Used By The Teachers In Evaluating The Students.

Excerpt from Electrical Engineering Laboratory Experiments If the student taking an electrical engineering laboratory course is required to rely on his own resources, exert his own initiative and do some original thinking, that course will stand out in his memory as one of the few in which he really accomplished the end in view; namely, a natural growth of reasoning power, the power of keen and accurate observation, the ability to analyze and draw conclusions and a knowledge of the fundamentals involved in the construction and operation of electrical machinery. To make laboratory teaching effective, the student should be carefully supervised at the beginning of his course in order that he may learn as rapidly as possible the fundamentals of electrical testing, and use them as his tools for the more advanced work. He should then be assigned work which will require original thinking, and be required to rely more or less upon his own resources. He should be encouraged to hunt up some problem in which he is particularly interested and tackle it as a real research proposition. In this way he will unconsciously exercise his initiative and prefer to rely upon his own resources. During the preparation of this book the writers have had the above philosophy constantly in mind and believe the book to be sufficiently flexible for adaptation to almost any Electrical Engineering Laboratory Course. This book is the result of an extended period of growth and experience. The original notes were written by Professor R. R. Lawrence and published in neostyle form in 1903 for use in the Lowell Institute for Industrial Foremen. These notes were later revised and enlarged by Professor Lawrence in 1907, and again revised and enlarged by him and published in book form in 1914. Professors Lawrence and C. W. Green in 1914 took a portion of the material, revised it and published it for use in connection with the courses in Electrical Engineering Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
