8 Course Description This course is designed for BSEE students to attain an in-depth understanding of the design,
construction and working principles of direct current motors and generators. The course
begins with a discussion of the principles of motor and generator actions, construction as
well as the different parts of dc electromechanical rotating machines (dynamo). Succeeding
topics cover the different types, operating characteristics and efficiency of dc generator and
motors.
9 Student Outcomes Upon the completion of the program, the Louisian electrical engineering graduates shall be
able to:
SOa: apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and an

engineering specialization to the solution of complex electrical engineering problems;

knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and
interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions;
1
SOc: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components
or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and
safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations;
SOd: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and

SOe: Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze complex engineering problems
reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences
and engineering sciences;
SOf: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and
norms of engineering practice;
SOg: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering

community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective
reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear
instructions;
SOh: Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of professional engineering
work in the solution of complex engineering problems in societal and environmental
context;
SOi: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent
and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change;
SOj: Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety,
legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional
engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems;
SOk: create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, skills, and modern
engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering
problems, with an understanding of limitation; and
