Requirements

Exam, and three labs. Exam is preferably taken by completing a set of tasks.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, the student is able to explain the laws of electromagnetism: the Maxwell laws and the constitutive laws. Student is capable of recognizing the connections between circuit and field analysis. Student is able to apply multivariable and vector analysis to work with static, quasistatic and general time dependent EM laws. Student is capable of utilizing Matlab to solve and visualize related problems. Student has gained experience on constructing simple electronic devices such as amplifier and filter, and knows about issues related to electromagnetic compatibility.

Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes

The recommended way to take the exam includes various tasks: homework problems and minor exams. The exam determines the grade. The labs are mandatory to pass, and bonus will be awarded from their high quality. To get a grade 3, student needs to have good knowledge of the core content. For higher grades, student need to know well the core content and also have complementary knowledge.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
