Subj: September 00 meeting Our next meeting is.. Can Just Anyone Understand Electromagnetic Fields?
Presenter: Professor Edward Kuester Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder What you will see: This talk will be part seminar, part tutorial, part give-and-take with the audience. Historically, an electrical engineer's education provided a solid background in circuit analysis, and touched somewhat on other subjects (like computers, power conversion, electromagnetics, etc.). Much of what a working engineer was called upon to do could be accomplished by building on this foundation of circuit theory. As our use of the frequency spectrum pushes ever higher (1 GHz computer processors, cell phones at microwave band, and so on), designs can no longer be made purely on the basis of classical circuit concepts. Professor Edward Kuester tells students in the beginning electromagnetics class that EM fields are really the basis of everything we do outside the quantum level in electrical engineering. Does this mean that you have to be an expert in EM \to design anything these days? Or can the impact of Maxwell's equations be understood in a simpler way, using ideas already familiar from electric circuits? Date : September 22 2000 Times : 1:30 pm - 4:30pm ( Please note: Lunch will NOT be provided) Location: National Center for Atmospheric Research Boulder CO. Directions (Join the Society and see the world!!) Who is invited: All are welcome. There is no restriction on IEEE membership.
