No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1990–91 to 1994–95 (before that, 1970–71 to 1976–77 used the number for Electromechanics and Energy Transformation, Storage and Conversion and Energy Processing & Conversion); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Comparative and historical review of . energy sources and systems. Operating, security and planning principles for electric energy generation, transmission and distribution systems. Excitation and loss analysis of ac magnetic circuits. Principles, circuit modelling, and performance of transformers. Electromechanical energy conversion. Alternate weeks.
As printed in the 1990–91 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Do Learning Disability Accommodations Provide an Unfair Advantage? 0 points, 22 comments
“Synopsis: Do you feel that the accommodations offered to students with learning disabilities gives them an unfair advantage? …”
u/hard4harder: “… It wasn't worth the effort to get the midterms scheduled with AS, and that did eventually suck in ECE 261, where i also got a grossly low mark for unreadable work (I think it was around a 20%). …”
