  • Mid-semester examination (syllabus: till lect. 10) to take place on Feb. 20, 2020 (Thurs), 10-11:30am @C21

  • Electromagnetic poster day temporarily cancelled due to COVID-19. A new date 'll be announced in due time. But keep studying your topics. [Guidelines: Form a group of 4 and select a topic related to Electromagnetics in nature or Electromagnetics in industry. The topics 'll be reviewed for technical richness before you start preparing for the poster day. All 4 members of the group needs to present and answer questions. Other faculty members 'll evaluate your performances and grade you].

  • Fri, Jan 31, 2020: No lecture (research showcase day).

  • Wed, Jan 08, 2020: tutorial to be held only in A106 (for all groups).

  • Course webpage online! The first lecture 'll be on Fri, Jan. 3, 2020.
