Electromagnetics involves the study of Maxwell’s equations and their application to the analysis and design of devices and systems
Maxwell's equations represent one of the most concise statements of the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism. It is from here that most of the working relationships in field of electromagnetics are developed. The dynamic field of electromagnetics encompasses such far-reaching areas as microwave communications, antenna design, microwave millimeter engineering, and remote sensing. These cutting edge technologies are applied to national defense and security, the space program, and every form of commercial communications.
ECE offers its graduate students ongoing opportunities to work as graduate Research Assistants or Graduate Teaching Assistants.
