2)	apply these theoretical principles to modern engineering problems in wave propagation in dielectric media, metallic and dielectric waveguides, coaxial lines and optical fibers 
3)	use the Smith Chart to solve impedance transformation and impedance matching problems; and
4)	perform literature surveys in modern RF, microwave and radar related topics, and write technical reports and present finding based on the analysis, design and simulation of electromagnetic fields in free-space as well as in microwave guiding structures.

Homework Quizzes				               10 \%  \\
Practicum \& computer projects		               15 \%  \\
Research paper \& PowerPoint presentation		 8 \% \\
3 Tests							               15 \%   each \\
Final Exam						               22 \%  \\
\\
No make-up tests will be given for any reason. Instead, the percentage of the final grade associated with each test missed (15 \% each test) will be added to the final examination percentage (for example, if you miss one test, your final exam will be worth 37 \% of your final grade, etc.).  The two lowest homework quiz grades will be dropped. No credit for late assignments will be provided. \\
\\
Letter grade scale: A(93–100), A–(90–92), B+(87–89), B(83–86), B–(80–82), C+(77–79),
C(73–76), C–(70–72), D+(67–69), D(63–66), D–(60–62), F(<60)\\
\\
Please note that classes may be extended beyond the usual time in order to make up time for instructor travel.\\}
\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{1) Practicum: \\
Practicum sessions will include computer projects and student project presentations. Some of the practicum sessions may be allocated to problem-solving sessions and/or tests.\\
\\
2) Homework Quizzes: \\
It is extremely important that the homework problems be worked regularly - not only for the sake of the homework quiz grade, but also to ensure sufficient facility in problem solving so that you can perform well within the constraints of the tests or final exam.\\
\\
3) Miscellaneous (please read this carefully!)\\
Please note that group study for working out solutions to problems and computer projects is acceptable, and helpful to many students. However, the problems or project report you turn in should be written out on your own, and not copied verbatim from another student's work or from the material found online.  It should reflect your understanding of the material. Practicum reports which are turned in and found to be verbatim copies of each other will be given zero credit, regardless of which is the original work. All work on an exam or test is to be entirely on your own.  The use of artificial intelligence technologies such as ChatGBT to generate text is not allowed and will be treated as an academic integrity violation. \\
\\
4) Masking\\
Masks are optional in both lecture and practicum.  Please respect each person's decision on whether to wear a mask.\\

Since you opted for an AI Policy, you should edit this part, choosing one of the following statements, modifying as desired:\\

The use of AI-generated content is permitted as follows: (a) for generating a first draft or (b) for generating an outline or (c) for generating XXX.\\

Even if you have significantly edited AI-generated material, you must identify the AI tool used to assist in generating your work. You are required to provide the name of the tool, date used, and prompts used to generate the output.  As you may be required to submit the original AI output, you must keep a copy of the original output and provide it when requested.  If questions arise about the authorship of submitted work, you are responsible for authenticating your authorship.  You should save evidence of your authorial process, such as drafts, notes, version histories, and complete transcripts of AI assistance.
