What is Engineering Electromagnetics

Course About? • Electromagnetism studies static electric and magnetic fields, as well as the

electromagnetic fields in motion.

• EM field is a form of matter. • In Engineering Electromagnetics course we study physical & mathematical

fundamentals of electromagnetism. We learn how electromagnetics laws and

principles are used in science and technology. We get ideas how to engineer new

things (advanced systems, devices, gadgets, and materials), which contribute to the

technological progress of mankind.
