More About Your Professor 

Education:

•  1990 B.Sc./CAS (Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia) •  1993 B.Eng. in E.E. (Technical University of Nova Scotia, Halifax) •  1996 M.A.Sc. in E.E. (Technical University of Nova Scotia, Halifax) •  2002 Ph.D. in E.E. (University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario)

•  M.A.Sc. was in the area of Image Processing •  Ph.D. was for radio frequency integrated circuits

•  I actually enjoyed the electromagnetic theory courses I took as an undergraduate. So now here I am teaching it!

Marking Scheme 

•  50% Final exam •  25% Midterm •  25% Labs

(Scores over 100% will be capped at 100%.)

Marking Scheme: Exam 

•  50% Final exam

The final exam is for evaluation purposes only and will not be returned to the student.

Marking Scheme: Midterm 

•  25% Midterm

If you miss the midterm with a valid reason (e.g. a documented medical reason) then your missed midterm mark will be added to your final exam mark (e.g. your final is worth 75%).

Marking Scheme: Labs •  20% Labs •  The labs are held in room ME 4275. •  Detailed instructions will be provided on what data is to be recorded and presented in the report. •  Lab reports are due at the designated time and date. Late labs are worth 0. •  In order to pass 97.3105, it is necessary to complete all five labs. If you miss a lab due to illness you must arrange a time to complete a make-up lab.

Laboratory Outline 

Lab #1 and Lab #5 are done using computer simulations. Lab #2, #3, and #4 are performed in the hardware lab.

Lab #1, NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS TO LAPLACE'S EQUATION

Lab #2, MAGNETOSTATICS

Lab #3, THE TRANSFORMER

Lab #4, THE STEPPING MOTOR

Lab #5, NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF MAGNETOSTATIC PROBLEMS

The order and content of these labs may be changed this year based on suggestions from last year’s students. More details will follow.

Laboratory ExempGons 

Exemptions will be granted if:

• You hand in your labs from last year • Your lab mark was above 50%

Lab and PA Schedule 

The schedule for the labs and the PA sessions will be posted on the course web page.
