Applications and devices. The emphasis is on problem solving using tools such as integral and differential vector calculus. Use vector integral and differential calculus as dominant problem solving tools. Expose the students to a number of electromagnetic applications and devices in a variety of technological fields. Around twelve homework sets, emphasizing problem solving and advanced vector calculus, are assigned.
Students learn the basics of electromagnetism.
This course can be also viewed as a preparation and prerequisite for additional advanced courses in electromagnetism, waves and optics. Students have to use advanced vector calculus for intensive problem solving throughout the semester. Students are also exposed to a number of applications and devices using electromagnetic effects in a variety of scientific and technological fields. Students are provided a strong foundation in electromagnetism, while at the same time they develop higher mathematical skills by solving a large number of problems. Students acquire competency in this core area of electrical engineering.
