Course Description
This course is offered to promote the knowledge of the students about electromagnetic field theory
and its applications in engineering practices with examples from different industries. The students
will be exposed to the following topics throughout the course; Review of vector theory; Review of
field concept; Maxwells equations; Transmission lines; Electromagnetic waves; Wave reflection;
Wave refraction; Scalar waves and its propagation in free space; Plane waves; Parallel plate waves;
Introduction to elementary antennas.
Learning Outcomes
On the successful completion of the course, the student will have:
1- Understanding of the electric field and magnetic field concepts,
2- Understanding of the Maxwells equations; in differential format, in integral format, and in word
format,
3- The understanding of the chain reaction concept of Maxwells equations with the generation of
electromagnetic waves,
4- Wave propagation; scalar waves, and plane waves
5- Understanding of the power and energy concepts with the mathematical representation of the
transmission lines.
6- Reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves.
7- Introduction to elementary antenna.
8- A glimpse of some industrial applications of the Electromagnetic Theory in the Telecom and
Transportation Industry.

Course Design
Course Organization:
Three lecture hours per week for one semester.
Lectures: T 2:10-3:30 pm, F 3:40-5:00 PM- both in UA2120
Tutorials: F 11:10 AM-1:00 PM @ UL11
Course Delivery Mode:
Traditional in class interactive mode. However, the students will be involved in group discussions.
Teaching Methods:
The following teaching methods will be used:
1- Lecturing: will be used in explaining the fundamentals of electromagnetic waves and their
applications.
2- Numerical Examples: will be used to teach the methods of solving electromagnetic waves problems
by numerical and practical examples.
3- Practice by Doing: Students will be encouraged to answer questions during the lectures in an
interactive and professional way or sometimes solve the lecture problems using MATLAB during and
after the lecture.
Online Elements:
Blackborad is the new course management system that will be used throughout the course. All the course
materials including Course Outline, lecture notes, in-class lecture notes, assignments, solutions etc. will be
posted on the course home page.

10. Accessibility
Students with disabilities may request to be considered for formal academic accommodation in accordance
with the Ontario Human Rights Code. Students seeking accommodation must make their requests through the
Centre for Students with Disabilities in a timely manner, and provide relevant and recent documentation to
verify the effect of their disability and to allow the University to determine appropriate accommodations.
Accommodation decisions will be made in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodations
will be consistent with and supportive of the essential requirements of courses and programs, and provided in
a way that respects the dignity of students with disabilities and encourages integration and equality of
opportunity. Reasonable academic accommodation may require instructors to exercise creativity and
flexibility in responding to the needs of students with disabilities while maintaining academic integrity.
11. Professional Conduct (if applicable)
UOIT is committed to the fundamental values of preserving academic integrity as defined in UOIT policies and
contained in the UOIT Calendar. Students should familiarize themselves with UOIT's policies and statements in
this area. Acts of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, cheating, aiding others in cheating, and
examination impersonation, will be dealt with severely as they threaten the integrity of the academic system
and are not acceptable.
