Description: Electromagnetics Part I is an introduction into engineering
electromagnetics. It covers the mathematical foundations such as selected
topics of vector calculus as well as their application in electrostatics, magnetostatics and conduction. Introduction to the
time-varying field is made through Faraday’s law. Electromagnetic analysis is
practised through assignments based on MATLAB.
Outline of
Topics: 1.
Introduction
2. Vector
algebra and vector analysis; coordinate systems
3.
Electrostatics and dielectric polarization
4. Magnetostatics and magnetic materials
5. Laplace and
Poisson equations
6. Time-varying
fields and Maxwell’s equations

Matlab Assignment: Matlab is available in
the computer labs in JHE 233/234 and BSB
241-245. You may use the machines in
these two labs for your Matlab assignments whenever
they are not booked for tutorials. Both
labs are opened until 10:00 pm.
Calculator
requirement for tests and examinations: Only the McMaster standard calculator (Casio
fx991) may be allowed in tests and examinations.

Policy Reminders:
Senate and the Faculty of Engineering require all course outlines to include
the following reminders:
The Faculty of Engineering is concerned with ensuring an environment that is
free of all adverse discrimination. If there is a problem, that cannot be
resolved by discussion among the persons concerned, individuals are reminded
that they should contact the Department Chair, the Sexual Harassment Officer or
the Human Rights Consultant, as soon as possible.
Students are reminded that they should read and comply with the Statement on
Academic Ethics and the Senate Resolutions on Academic Dishonesty as found in
the Senate Policy Statements distributed at registration and available in the
Senate Office.
Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other
fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero
on an assignment, loss of
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty.
For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the
Academic Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at
1. Plagiarism,
e.g. the submission of work that is not one's own or for which other credit has
been obtained.
2. Improper
collaboration in group work.
3. Copying
or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
