1. to acquire a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of electromagnetism as the foundation of design engineering.
2. to cultivate the competence to apply these principles to engineering problems.
2. to cultivate the competence to apply these principles to engineering problems.
Modern society relies heavily on technologies based on electromagnetic phenomena. The development of devices used in electronic
equipment and the application of electromagnetic waves across various wavelength ranges in sensing and communication technologies
have all advanced through a deeper understanding of electromagnetism.
In this course, students survey the theoretical framework of electromagnetism, acquire its fundamental concepts, and develop ways of thinking that bridge these principles to their practical applications.
