 HOMEWORK & ASSIGNMENT POLICY
 There will be weekly homework (out Tu due Th of following week).
 The problems will be typically based on completing details of derivations in the text, demonstrating
concepts in detail and extending the text material to emerging applications.

Electromagnetic Field Theory 7

 Project

 Students are required to do an individual project related to an emerging application of electromagnetic theory.

 A short (8 min) web based presentation to the class is required near the end of the semester.

 The project will consist of describing the application with references, categorizing and summarizing the
electromagnetic technique utilized, and critiquing the method and assessing potential extensions.

 Introduction

What is Electromagnetics?

Ectromagnetics is essentially the study of interaction of fields that are generated by time varying charge
distributions and currents.

Why bother this course:

This is the foundational course for your advanced courses such as, Microwaves, Radars, Antenna, Integrated
Optics and Fiber Optics.
