Catalog Course Description
Static electric and magnetic fields using vector calculus methods. Application of Maxwell's
Equations to time-varying electric and magnetic fields. Plane waves, and transmission lines.
Course Description
The course covers basic concepts of both static electromagnetic field, and time-varying
electromagnetic field. In the beginning, vector algebra and calculus together with orthogonal
coordinate systems will be discussed. This is followed by the study of electrostatics which
includes charge and current distribution, electrostatic postulates and Coulomb’s Law,
Gauss’s Law. Electrostatic potential will be studied. The concept of resistance, Joule’s Law,
polarization and dielectric strength will then studied. In time-varying EM field, this course
covers Faraday’s Law, displacement current. Then plane wave propagation will be discussed.
Last part of the course is transmission line study. Smith Chart will be introduced.

Classroom Protocol
Students are expected to attend lectures regularly. Late arrivals are strongly discouraged.
Cell phones must be turned off during the class time.
Dropping and Adding
Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drops,
academic renewal, etc. Information on add/drops are available at http://info.sjsu.edu/webdbgen/narr/soc-fall/rec-298.html. Information about late drop is available at
http://www.sjsu.edu/sac/advising/latedrops/policy/ . Students should be aware of the current

University Policies
Academic integrity
Students should know that the University’s Academic Integrity Policy is availabe at
http://www.sa.sjsu.edu/download/judicial_affairs/Academic_Integrity_Policy_S07-2.pdf.
Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State
University and the University’s integrity policy, require you to be honest in all your
academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of
Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The website for Student Conduct and Ethical
Development is available at http://www.sa.sjsu.edu/judicial_affairs/index.html.
Instances of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Cheating on exams or plagiarism
(presenting the work of another as your own, or the use of another person’s ideas without
giving proper credit) will result in a failing grade and sanctions by the University. For this
class, all assignments are to be completed by the individual student unless otherwise
specified. If you would like to include in your assignment any material you have submitted,
or plan to submit for another class, please note that SJSU’s Academic Policy F06-1 requires
approval of instructors.
Campus Policy in Compliance with the American Disabilities Act
If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need to
make special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an
appointment with me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours. Presidential
Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities requesting accommodations must
register with the DRC (Disability Resource Center) to establish a record of their disability.

Electrical Engineering Department
EE Department Honor Code
The Electrical Engineering Department will enforce the following Honor Code that must be
read and accepted by all students.
“I have read the Honor Code and agree with its provisions. My continued enrollment in this
course constitutes full acceptance of this code. I will NOT:






Take an exam in place of someone else, or have someone take an exam in my place
Give information or receive information from another person during an exam
Use more reference material during an exam than is allowed by the instructor
Obtain a copy of an exam prior to the time it is given
Alter an exam after it has been graded and then return it to the instructor for re-grading
Leave the exam room without returning the exam to the instructor.”
Measures Dealing with Occurrences of Cheating
 Department policy mandates that the student or students involved in cheating will receive
an “F” on that evaluation instrument (paper, exam, project, homework, etc.) and will be
reported to the Department and the University.
 A student’s second offense in any course will result in a Department recommendation of
suspension from the University.
