Students who fail to submit a written request will not be considered for accommodations. For more information, see the Student Handbook. Expected Course Outcomes: Students who successfully complete this course are expected to meet the following course outcomes.

Students will add to their knowledge-base in the fundamentals of electrical and computer engineering, especially in the area of electromagnetics as it relates to antenna applications. Students will further develop their basic skills of problem solving and critical thinking by solving significant problems in the field of antenna engineering. Each student will further develop good writing skills so that they are able to communicate technical material effectively and clearly. Each student will be given the type of real-world design experience that is crucial to the education of an engineer, including an appreciation for technical, economic, and social issues.
