Versuchseinricbtung fiir InduktioJlSmotoren Die Arbeit beschreibt eine Versuchseinrichtung zur Messung des Drehmoments eines Induktionsmotors iiber seinen ganzen Drehzahlbereich und zur Auftragung der wichtigen DrehmomentDrehzahlkennlinie des Motors auf einem Oszilloskop. Der Drehmomentfiihler ist ein Dehnungsmessstreifen und der Versuch umschliesst die Messung des Drehmoments bei Schaltvorgangen.

Women in Electrical Engineering Education

This paper comprises a series of individual profiles of the very few women who are currently teaching electrical engineering or electronics in universities or polytechnics in the U.K.

Bringing Engineering into the Schools

A scheme is described, which has been in operation since 1976 in the U.K. A practising engineer spends a day visiting a school and talking to groups of 13 to 15-year-olds about his work, in the hope of inspiring interest and attracting young people to engineering as a career.
