ELE 423 Electromagnetic Fields II

 

Purpose of the course:

The course has a triple orientation shaping the sophistication on these topics  and helping the overall maturity.

 a) Point out the underlining physical principles of Electromagnetic Theory and potential applications.
 b) Give experience in solving problems using specific mathematical methods.
 c) Emphasize the sequence: Underlining Physical Principle - Mathematical Model of a Real Situation Case - Mathematical Method.

 d) Introduce the student to the analysis and synthesis processes

 e) Introduce the student to the use of current solution techniques and tools

 f) Introduce the tools in the team environment.

 g) Introduce the student in the laboratory environment.

 

Grading:

The final grade (F.G.) is determined from the following:
 a) Six examinations (E1, ... E6) during the semester will be given,  counting 48% (6 x 8) of the final grade.
 b) Seven sets of homework problems (HW1, ... HW7) will be assigned for each topic, counting 14% (7 x 2) of the final grade.
 c) A cumulative final examination (FE) will be given, counting 28% of the final grade.

 d) Attendance and participation (AP), counting 5% of the final grade.

 e) Report on an application of Electromagnetics (RP), counting 5% of the final grade.

 

 The total number of points will result in the following letter grade:

 F.G. = E1 + E2 + E3 + E4 + E5 + E6 + 

          HW1 + HW2 + HW3 + HW4 +HW5 + HW6 + HW7 +

          FE + 

          AP + 

          RP 

 

 96-100 -> A

 91-95 -> A
 87-90 -> B+
 84-86 -> B

 81-83 -> B-
 76-80 -> C+
 71-75 -> C
 61-70 -> D
 00-60 -> F

 

3) A typical examination will consist of short answer questions and problems. The duration of a typical examination will be 30 minutes. No make up examination will be given; no late homework will be accepted.
