Course Overview
Applied Electromagnetics for Engineers is an application-oriented course. It covers all the theoretical concepts of modern electromagnetics. There is a review of the necessary mathematics, including coordinate systems, vector fields, and vector analysis. It also covers an in-depth study of transmission lines. These lines play a crucial role in high-speed digital design and the signal integrity of PCBs.
The Applied Electromagnetics for Engineers training course explains the numerical and analytical solutions to the Poisson equation and Laplace equation. Candidates will learn about inductance calculations, quasi-static analysis of capacitors and the skin effect, and Maxwell equations.
The curriculum also covers wave propagation in free-space, periodic media, and ferrites. The course also contains several case studies.
Applied Electromagnetics for Engineers programme allows interested candidates to apply and learn for free. But if candidates wish to get certified, they need to pay an examination fee of Rs. 1,000 and write a 100-mark proctored exam. Students will land exciting jobs with companies like Sterlite, GE, Analog Devices, Comsol India, Texas Instruments, Defense labs, and more.

Eligibility Criteria
Education
To benefit from the Applied Electromagnetics for Engineers course, candidates should be familiar with high-school level electricity and magnetism. They should also have a working knowledge of differential and integral calculus and vector analysis. Programming experience using MATLAB is preferred.
Certificate Qualifying Details
Out of 12 assignments, the candidate's scores in the best eight will be averaged. To calculate their final score, 25 percent of that average will be added to 75 percent of the score obtained in the proctored exam.
Note that the average assignment score should be greater than or equal to 10/25, and the exam score should be greater than or equal to 30/75. If both these conditions are not satisfied, the candidate will not be eligible for certification, even if their total score is greater than or equal to 40/100.

Evaluation process
The exam for Applied Electromagnetics for the Engineers training programme is not compulsory. But for certification, they must appear for the test and pay the fee (Rs. 1,000). They can write the exam from any of the designated exam centres.
Out of 12 assignments, the best eight will be considered. 25 percent of the candidate’s average score in these eight assignments will be added to 75 percent of their score in the 100-mark proctored exam to calculate their final score.
The candidate’s average assignment score should be ten or more (out of 25), and their exam score should be 30 or more (out of 75). Even if one of these conditions is not satisfied, the candidate will be ineligible for certification, even if their final score is 40 or more (out of 100).
