During 2021 we will continue to support students who need to study remotely due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and travel restrictions. Make sure you check the location code when selecting a unit outline or choosing your units of study in Sydney Student. Find out more about what these codes mean. Both remote and on-campus locations have the same learning activities and assessments, however teaching staff may vary. More information about face-to-face teaching and assessment arrangements for each unit will be provided on Canvas.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. proficiently calculate the effects of the material parameters on the propagation of plane waves
- LO2. demonstrate an understanding of wave propagation in transmission lines to the extent of the course work presented
- LO3. analyse and solve problems in electrostatics and magnetostatics by applying techniques, principles and methodology presented in the course
- LO4. apply Maxwell's equations to solve specific engineering problems
- LO5. describe the interaction between time-varying electric and magnetic fields and how this interaction leads to Maxwell's equations
- LO6. apply Gauss's Law, Coulomb's Law and Poisson's Equation to calculate fields and potentials of topic specific engineering problems.
