ECE 6340 - Applied Computational Electromagnetics with Self-Written Codes

Students will formulate and solve real-world electromagnetics problems computationally. Applications areas range from geolocation to next-generation prosthetic limbs. Emphasis will be on two of the most popular computational electromagnetic techniques: the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the finite element method (FEM). Students will write their own codes from scratch. For students who already or might use commercially available electromagnetic software, this course will provide an understanding of the internal workings of such “black box” programs.
