Applied Electromagnetics
Electromagnetics involves the study of Maxwells
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.
