About Fundamentals Of Applied Electromagnetics: 2004
Product Description Bridging the gap between electric circuits and electronmagnetics, Ulaby's book leads readers from familiar concepts into more advanced topics and applications. A new, interactive CD-ROM accompanying the book allows users to gain physical intuition about electromagnetics. Earlier and heavier emphasis on dynamics permits coverage of practical applications in communication systems, radar, optics and solid state computers. Chapter titles include Waves and Phasors, Transmission Lines, Vector Analysis, Electrostatics, Magnetostatics, Maxwell's Equations for Time-Varying Fields, Plane-Wave Propagation, Radiation and Antennas, and Satellite Communication Systems and Radar Sensors. For use in the study of electromagnetics. About the Author Fawwaz T. Ulaby was born in Damascus, Syria and grew up in Beirut, Lebanon. After receiving the B.S. degree in Physics from the American University of Beirut, he pursued graduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin, from which he received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 1968. He then spent the next 16 years as a member of the Electrical Engineering faculty at the University of Kansas, where he was involved in the development of radar sensor technology for environmental and industrial applications. In 1984, Professor Ulaby moved to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he is now the University's Vice President for Research and a Williams Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His research experience includes the design of microwave systems for measuring the dielectric properties of materials; the characterization of radar scattering and microwave emission from terrain; the development of computer algorithms for identifying terrain features using Earth-observing satellite radar systems; and the development of millimeter-wave radar sensors for automotive applications. He has published several books on microwave sensor technology, imaging radar design, and the physics of radar scattering from terrain. He is Fellow of the IEEE, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and recipient of the 2001 IEEE Electromagnetics Award and the Kuwait Prize for Applied Science.

So, why do we need another one? The answer is simple: (1) the curriculum for a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is undergoing a radical change, perhaps more radical in both outlook and content than any of the curricular changes we have witnessed over the past several decades, and (2) available textbooks are incompatible with the philosophy of the new curriculum proposed for the twenty-first century (see, for example, the article by Director et al. in the Proceedings of the IEEE, September 1995). The Changing Curriculum For a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, the curriculum has undergone about one major change per decade. In the 1960s, courses concerning solid-state devices were introduced and those on vacuum-tube electronics were slowly phased out. In the 1970s, courses on electric machinery nearly disappeared from the curricula of most universities and were replaced with computer-programming courses. More computer-related and digital processing courses were added in the 1980s, mainly by increasing the volume of required courses and reducing the number of technical and free electives. Also, there has been a sustained effort to incorporate new knowledge and assimilate the rapidly evolving role of technology in the undergraduate curriculum. More material was added to courses, greater effort was expected from students, and the number of elective credit hours rapidly approached zero. By the early 1990s, the average student at a U.S. university needed closer to five years to complete what was originally designed as a four-year p
