Fundamentals of time-invariant electric and magnetic fields and time-varying electromagnetic fields leading to general Maxwell's equations. Topics include the electromagnetic model, vector calculus, electrostatic fields, steady electric currents, magnetostatic fields, electromagnetic induction, slowly time-varying electromagnetic fields, and Maxwell's equations in integral and differential form; solutions of Maxwell's equations in the presence of boundary conditions are presented. Maxwell's equations in complex domain are introduced and utilized. Circuit theory and its relationship to electromagnetics is presented as an approximate form of Maxwell's equations. Numerical techniques for field computation are introduced.

Investigations of a fundamental and/or applied nature intended to develop design techniques, research techniques, initiative and independent inquiry. A written project report has to be completed by the student and approved by the student's advisor. Admission is based on a formal proposal endorsed by an advisor and approved by the ECE Graduate Program Director.

Illustration of principles of advanced electronics and photonics by showing their applications in advanced radar, wired/wireless communications, and electronic sensing. Key electronics/photonics devices including high speed transistors, diodes, lasers, high frequency modulators, photodetectors, amplifiers, and passive circuitries are discussed. System applications including advanced radar system, radio over fiber, and millimeter wave /THz signal generation and processing are deliberated and analyzed.

Allows study into areas not included in the formal course listings.

Instruction in library services, introduction of department faculty research and laboratories, thesis/dissertation requirements, professional ethics and standards, and seminar presentations by speakers from industry and academia in addition to UMass Dartmouth faculty. Students will be required to attend several department seminars and participate in technical discussions and write a report by the end of the semester.

Investigations of a fundamental and/or applied nature, intended to develop design techniques,research techniques, initiative, and independent inquiry. A written thesis must be completed in accordance with the rules of the Graduate School and the College of Engineering. Completion of the course requires a successful oral defense open to the public and a written thesis approved by the student's thesis committee unanimously and the ECE Graduate Program Director. Admission to the course is based on a formal thesis proposal endorsed by the student's graduate committee and submitted to the ECE Graduate Program Director.
