    Catalog Listing:    Vector analysis. Electrostatic fields in a vacuum and material media. Electromagnetic fields and Maxwell's equations for time-varying sources. The relationship between field and circuit theory. Simple applications of Maxwell's equations. Prerequisite: Math 220 PHSX 211, and EECS 211.

 

Course Objective:    To provide the student with the mathematical tools and physical knowledge required to comprehend the electrical phenomenon that enables the operation of electrical and computer systems.

 

     Required Text:    Engineering Electromagnetics, by Ken Demarest, Ó1998.

 

               Grading:    The following factors will be used to arrive at the final course grade:


Homework                     10 %

                              Quizzes                          5%
Exam I                         25 %
Exam II                       25 %
Final Exam                   35 %

 

      Grading Scale:    Grades will be assigned to the following scale:

 

                                        A                      90 - 100 %
B                      80 - 89 %
C                      70 - 79 %
D                      60 - 69 %
F                      < 60 %

 

                                These are guaranteed maximum scales and may be revised downward at the instructor's discretion.

 

           Homework:    Homework is due before class begins each day.  Copying is not permitted.

 

                 Exams:    No make-ups for (excused) missed exams will be given. If you have attended 75% of the lectures and have 75% on the homework, and you have a legitimate excuse for missing an exam (e.g., significant illness family emergency) , the first missed exam will be scored by taking 90% of the average of the other exams.  Subsequent missed exams will be scored as zero. A non-excused missed exam will also receive a zero score. Note this policy does not mean that you can “drop” one exam!

 

 

        Ethics Policy:    Academic misconduct will not be tolerated.  It will result in a failing grade and may result in further disciplinary action by the University.  For details see the Academic Misconduct section of the Timetable.
