Modular Instructional Material in Pulsed Power Technology

Abstract : A Pulsed Power Lecture Series is being conducted by Texas Tech University for the U.S. Air Force. Modular instructional material for use in this lecture series is being developed. Each module is a self-consistent discussion of some aspect of pulsed power technology. The contents range from the very basic (e.g. basic EM field theory) to advanced, modern topics, such as magnetic switching. The lectures are delivered every two weeks at the Air Force Institute of Technology and the Air Force Weapons Laboratory. The speakers then provide a written text of their lecture, which is edited and published in modular form by Texas Tech University. It is planned to reissue these modules in report or book form at a later date.
