90 years of Electrical Machines teaching at Warsaw University of Technology

The article is a review of teaching and scientific achievements at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) Division of Electrical Machines (DEM). Nine years ago electrical machine experts working under professor Konstanty Żórawski’s leadership set up the Department of Electrical Machines at Warsaw University of Technology. It was the first institution in Poland whose purpose was to educate electrical machine engineers. The article shows a review of main trends connected with constructing a strong position of ELECTRICAL MACHINES discipline at WUT in the 20th century. The emphasis was on the influence in the areas of educational and research by four outstanding electrical machines teachers: Konstanty Żórawski, Henryk Kozłowski, Bolesław Dubicki and Władysław Latek. Among the issues described were the expansion of the laboratory base, development of teaching content, and changes in its organization. Elements of modern DEM teaching were shown, such as: new academic books, modern laboratory equipment, broadening the exercises for students with diagnostic elements and interesting thesis subjects. The current scientific work of the DEM scientists was described, as were the plans for the near future.
