Description:
This is an introductory (2nd semester) graduate level electromagnetic course related to the area of approximate solution of boundary value problems by the use of digital computers. Students will be exposed to various aspects of numerical solution of EM equations in the frequency domain, including:
·
Intro to CEM
- completed;
·
Numerical
integration – completed;
· Iterative and direct solvers - completed;
· Finite difference method – completed;
· Integral equation methods - Method of Moments – completed;
· Finite element method – in progress.
Goal:
To develop a
foundation level necessary for successful use of available CEM tools (programs)
and research in the area of numerical and applied electromagnetics.
Prerequisites:
Undergraduate electromagnetics course (equivalent of ECEN3400); working knowledge with one of MATLAB / MATHCAD / Mathematica / Fortran / C
Who should take this course?
Every student whose work and/or research goals include:
· the approximate solution of Maxwell’s equations;
· design of microwave and optical circuits and materials using commercial software tools such as: HFSS, FEMLAB, IE3D, Ansoft Designer, Momentum, NEC, WIPL,etc.
· successful preparation for a qualifying exam.
· Homeworks/CEM Lab Projects: 40%
Total of 4 two week and 1 four week assignments – expect 10-16hours; some mathematical derivations and significant use of MATLAB or a similar tool. Homeworks will be posted on Thursdays. NO LATE SUBMISSIONS.
· Project: 25%
Individual assignments where students will choose a problem and solve it with FEKO and (or) HFSS or other MoM or FEM codes. Discuss issues related to the CEM:
One page proposal: Tuesday 3-13
2-3 page report: Thursday 4-26
Presentation: Saturday
4-28
Final grades available 10am on May 1st. Oral exam scheduled for class time on 5-1 possible for grade improvement. To qualify student: must have more than 90% on HW or Project assignments, and accumulated score within 2% of the higher grade boundary.
Grading
91-100% A- and A
65-91% from B- to B+
55-65% C+
<55% F
Disabilities
If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please
submit to me a letter from Disability Services in a timely manner so that your
needs may be addressed. Disability Services determines accommodations
based on documented disabilities. Contact: 303-492-8671, Willard 322, and
www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices
Religious observances
Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty
make every effort to reasonably and fairly deal with all students who, because
of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or
required attendance. I presume that if these observances are important to
you, you already know the dates. Please email me with these dates in the
first week of class and I will move the midterms or schedule a make-up exam as
needed. The campus policy is at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html
In-class behavior
Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an
appropriate learning environment. Students who fail to adhere to such
behavioral standards may be subject to discipline. Faculty have the
professional responsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity
and respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the
manner in which they and their students express opinions. Professional
courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals
and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics,
sexual orientation, gender variance, and nationalities. Class rosters are
provided to the instructor with the student's legal name. I will gladly honor
your request to address you by an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please
advise me of this preference early in the semester so that I may make
appropriate changes to my records. See polices at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html
and at http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_code
Honor code
All students of the University of Colorado at Boulder are responsible
for knowing and adhering to the academic integrity policy of this institution.
Violations of this policy may include: cheating, plagiarism, aid of academic
dishonesty, fabrication, lying, bribery, and threatening behavior. All
incidents of academic misconduct shall be reported to the Honor Code Council
(honor@colorado.edu; 303-725-2273). Students who are found to be in violation
of the academic integrity policy will be subject to both academic sanctions
from the faculty member and non-academic sanctions (including but not limited
to university probation, suspension, or expulsion). Other information on the
Honor Code can be found at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/honor.html
and at http://www.colorado.edu/academics/honorcode/
Discrimination and Sexual Harassment
The University of Colorado at Boulder policy on Discrimination and Harassment (http://www.colorado.edu/policies/discrimination.html, the University of Colorado policy on Sexual Harassment and the University of Colorado policy on Amorous Relationships applies to all students, staff and faculty. Any student, staff or faculty member who believes s/he has been the subject of discrimination or harassment based upon race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status should contact the Office of Discrimination and Harassment (ODH) at 303-492-2127 or the Office of Judicial Affairs at 303-492-5550. Information about the ODH and the campus resources available to assist individuals regarding discrimination or harassment can be obtained at http://www.colorado.edu/odh
