Waves and Materials in Electrical Engineering

Learning Outcomes

• At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:
  
• LO1: Analyse static electric and magnetic fields for electrical engineering applications (WA1, WA2)
  
  
• LO2: Apply mathematics to describe, analyse and interpret the propagation of electromagnetic plane waves in different media (WA1, WA2)
  
  
• LO3: Identify how atomic structure relates to the electrical properties of materials, and how atomic structure can be tailored to suit different applications. (WA1, WA2)
  
  
• LO4: Gather and evaluate experimental data, interpret outcomes, draw reasoned conclusions, and communicate outcomes using written reports. (WA1, WA2, WA4, WA8, WA9)
  
  
• LO5: Design, build and test a sensor based on the material properties of electronic components in a team environment, and report results as a device datasheet (WA3, WA4, WA8, WA9)
