EE204: ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD THEORY

CREDITS = 4 (L=4, T=0, P=0)

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

The subject aims to provide the student with:

1. The knowledge of electromagnetic field theory that allows the student to have a solid
theoretical foundation to be able in the future to design emission, propagation and reception of
electro- magnetic wave systems.
2. The skill to identify, formulate and solve fields and electromagnetic waves propagation
problems in a multi-disciplinary frame individually or as a member of a group.
