Aims and Fit of Module

This module equips students with the analytical and practical skills to model, analyze, and design electromagnetic and electromechanical systems critical to modern engineering. Building on foundational concepts in physics and circuit theory, the module consolidates knowledge of electromagnetic fields, electric/magnetic circuits, and the operation of key devices (e.g., motors, generators and transformers). It bridges theory and practice, preparing students for advanced courses in advanced Electromagnetism, microwave circuits, power systems and control engineering. It supports program outcomes by developing competencies in system modeling, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary design.
