Learning outcomes

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. proficiently calculate the effects of the material parameters on the propagation of plane waves
LO2. demonstrate an understanding of wave propagation in transmission lines to the extent of the course work presented
LO3. analyse and solve problems in electrostatics and magnetostatics by applying techniques, principles and methodology presented in the course
LO4. apply Maxwell's equations to solve specific engineering problems
LO5. describe the interaction between time-varying electric and magnetic fields and how this interaction leads to Maxwell's equations
LO6. apply Gauss's Law, Coulomb's Law and Poisson's Equation to calculate fields and potentials of topic specific engineering problems.
