Review of basic electromagnetics. Electromagnetic wave propagation in infinite and bounded media. Equivalence Principle, Uniqueness Theorem, Reciprocity, Green's functions and Plane wave functions.

Cylindrical wave functions. Spherical wave functions. Scattering by cylinders and spheres. Perturbational and variational techniques.

Solution of Laplace’s equation in two dimensions, circular harmonics, cylindrical harmonics, method of finite differences; wave propagation, perfect dielectrics, conductors, lossy dielectrics, transmission line analogy, Smith chart solutions; and computer applications are covered.

Semiconductor electronics; semiconductor diode circuit analysis; bipolar and field effect transistors; analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog circuits and active filters. This course is dually listed with an equivalent 400-level course (EE 431).

Principles and practices for gathering, writing, reporting and producing news for electronic media. Requires out-of-class assignments. This is a capstone course - a culminating experience that integrates coursework, knowledge, skills and other experiences in broadcast journalism. Major subjects include diversity in communication. It serves as a venue for the learning outcomes assessment.

Three hours lecture and two hours lab per week. In-depth study of selected electronic concepts. Topics include: computer analysis of major digital logic families, introduction to state logic, transmission lines, and A/D conversion.

Deeply embedded low-power wireless sensors. Low-power microcontroller architectures, sensor platform architecture, wireless intelligent sensors, low power wireless communication standards, battery powered systems, resource constrained operating systems, data aggregation/sensor synergy, and collaborative signal processing.

Provides professional rescuer skills (BLS, first aid, advanced care). Injury and disease prevention emphasized in conjunction with practical skills and teaching experiences. May be taught concurrently with PHED 4363.

This course is required to apply for certification as an Advanced EMT. This course provides students with clinical education experiences to enhance knowledge and skills learned in EMS 155, Advanced EMS Theory and Lab. This course helps students prepare for the National Registry Exam.
