Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Fall 2022: 3.85 GPA, 92.3% A/AB (n=13 letter grades); Spring 2023: 3.90 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=10 letter grades); Spring 2025: 3.96 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=13 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Analyze, derive operating principles, and sketch voltage, current, and air gap field phasors and waveforms for synchronous and asynchronous ac machines.

  • Use analytic techniques to dimension and size electric and magnetic components of ac machines (permanent magnets, magnetic steel, windings)

  • Model and evaluate the performance of ac machine designs using a finite element analysis tool

  • Investigate trade-offs in the design space and propose Pareto optimal designs by using finite element analysis techniques to model ac machines

About this rating

Raw average: 3.12/5 from 26 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.
