9. Course Description
This course is principally oriented for engineering students. It is concerned with the electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation that spread out in the world around us. It shows how the main ideas of electromagnetism can be formulated in the well-known Maxwell’s equations. These can be used to explain the properties of light and radio waves; the magnetic fields produced by brain activity; the way a television tube works; the transparency of the cornea in human eye; and many other applications.

10. Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, the student will be able to:
Define electromagnetic phenomena.
Explain the properties of the electric and magnetic fields and relate them to their sources.
Solve a range of numerical problems involving these concepts.
Relate the underlying theory to everyday phenomena and scientific or engineering applications.
Use their problem-solving skills in other scientific and engineering areas.
Develop skills to use theoretical analysis in processing experimental data and experimental work of related subjects and courses.
