Lecture Notes (~Textbook): ECE 329 Lecture Notes on Fields & Waves - Erhan Kudeki, 2024
Course Outline: Specified in Course Calendar
Supplementary Text (not required): Fundamentals of Electromagnetics - N. N. Rao, 2009 Electromagnetics and Applications - D. H. Staelin, 2011
Homework: There will be two HW assignments each week with Tuesday and Friday due dates. HW's will be assigned on this web page below (and also in 329-on-Gradescope ) and the solutions will be posted below after the due date. Completed HW's should be returned to 329-on-Gradescope electronically by 11 PM on the due dates. Please watch this "how to submit" video before submitting your first HW into Gradescope as a pdf file and make sure to always match your pdf pages to HW question numbers as shown in the video --- if you fail to do this properly you will receive an email request from the TA for re-submitting your HW before it can be graded.

This course uses the Grainger College of Engineering ExamScheduler for organizing its online exams. You will receive the Zoom URL's for taking your online exams from the link ExamScheduler and access your exam from 350-on-Gradescope Exam and return back to it in pdf form (using the same procedures as in HW submissions). The mechanics of online exams will be explained in the class.
Grading Policy:
| Homework and Class Participation | 15% of total |
| Midterm Exams (x3) | 60% of total |
| Final Exam | 25% of total |
Mathematica usage: You will find in the Course Calendar a link to a Mathematica notebook for each class. These notebooks will not be utilized in this class but they can be a resource for answering Mathematica based questions that will be included occasionally as a part of the regular homework assignments. No prior experience with Mathematica is required as all Mathematica based questions will be related to extending the Mathematica demos introduced to you in class and/or as a part of HW. Watching the following videos prior to starting your first Mathematica assignment will be useful: Notebooks Methods to Get Started Basic Calculations Basic Graphics Making Interactive Models
All engineering students can download Mathematica from Webstore and install it on their laptops. Mathematica is also available on EWS machines that can be found at multiple locations in engineering buildings.
