Summary
The courses on waves introduce the fundamental concepts of wave propagation, focusing on their universality and without making a distinction between different types of waves (acoustic, electromagnetic, optical, etc.). After that introduction, wave generation and antenna characteristics are covered. Lastly, a presentation is given on all wave applications in industry.
Educational goals
Objectives/Skills to be acquired: - Use the fundamental relationships of waves. - Fundamental concepts of waves (wavelength, frequency, attenuation, etc.) and their interactions with objects (diffraction, interference, etc.). - Know the principles of transmission and reception of different types of waves. - Acquire a general understanding of wave applications in different industrial sectors. - Know how to analyse a system, of which one of the operating principles is based on wave propagation and transpose it using another type of wave.
Sustainable development goals
Knowledge control procedures
Continuous Assessment
Comments: The quiz for the course is on Moodle, there are short in-person assessments, and students work on or submit exercises on their own via Moodle.
Online resources
Documents available on Moodle: - Course handouts and videos. - Course slides. - Four tutorial statement worksheets. - Self-corrected practice exercises. - Course quiz.
Pedagogy
- Nine seminar sessions (lectures/tutorials) using a flipped classroom method. - One presentation session on wave propagation practical work. Course and seminar syllabus using a flipped classroom method: - Chapter 1: General information on waves and free-space propagation. - Chapter 2: Electromagnetic waves. - Chapter 3: Reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference. - Chapter 4: Antennas. - Chapter 5: Seminar on wave applications.
