JUSTIFICATION (Use sentence fragments.)
A.
Need for course .
San Diego is home to several commercial RF/Wireless industries including defense contractors who
deal with antenna design and applications. Since no such course existed in the EE department earlier, it
was offered as an experimental course EE596: Antenna Theory and Design during Spring, 2011 and
Spring, 2012. Many US universities include similar course as part of their EE program.
B.
Justify level of course (a justification for all 500-level courses is required by Graduate Council).
Most of the students who took the experimental EE596 course were from the undergraduate level hence
this course is proposed as Elective course for the undergraduate students only. Further, at the graduate
level, already there is a course (EE645) hence offering this course at 500 level is not important also.
C.
Justify Cr/NC only grading (if applicable).
D.
22.
Justify if no prerequisite(s) for 300- through 700-level courses.
NEEDS MET BY COURSE.
A.
Will this course satisfy requirements for:
Major~ Emphasis D Minor D G.E. D Writing Requirement D

B.
Has Program Change form been submitted to make necessary change? (indicated in 22A above)

25.
GRADING STANDARDS. Describe weights assigned to various coursework components as percentages of the
student's final grade.
Final letter grade will be determined from the student's overall performance in the following course
components. The weighting of each of the components is as given below:

B. For 500-numbered courses, if grading standards and weights are identical for graduate and undergraduate
students, please justify.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES . Succinctly describe the 5-7 most important competencies or capabilities
students will develop in this course, numbered sequentially.
For GE course proposals, star those outcomes that will satisfy GE writing requirements.
