Course objectives

ability to carry out design-related analysis of a electromagnetic systems and device;
development of skills in technical quantitative engineering analysis for systems containing components whose behavior is governed by electrodynamics; e.g. transmission lines, anteneas, waveguides, etc.
impart knowledge of fabrication, assembly, and cost of manufacture issues for systems containing components whose behavior is governed by electrodynamics

Topics covered

Review
Faraday's Law and induced emf
Transformers
Displacement Current
Time-dependent Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic wave equations, phase velocity
Time-harmonic wave problems, plane waves in lossless media, Poynting's vector and theorem
Plane waves in lossy media
Group velocity and dispersion
Incidence of plane waves on interfaces between dissimilar media
Transmission Lines with emphasis on transients and pulses

Class/laboratory schedule

Three 50 minute lectures per week, or two 75 minute lectures per week; varies with semester.

Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives and outcomes

This course primarily serves students in the department. The information below describes how the course contributes to the undergraduate program objectives.

knowledge in the basic techniques of mathematics and the physical sciences advanced expertise in design, analysis, and fabrication techniques within a student-selected electrical and computer engineering concentration area

Assessment of student progress toward course objectives

Weekly homeworks, with an average of at least one homework problem per week (out of typically 4-5) that emphasizes a design-related analysis of a proposed electromagnetic system or device;
Assignment of a short semester design project of a device using electromagnetic principles. Requirement includes project writeup. Students requested to consider both technical quantitative engineering analysis as well as fabrication,assembly, and cost of manufacture issues.
Mid-term exam(s);
Final exam
Extra credit for summaries of guest lectures on applications of electromagnetic engineering (varies with semester and instructor)
