This book covers the study of electromagnetic wave theory and
describes how electromagnetic technologies affect our daily lives.
From ER to ET: How Electromagnetic Technologies Are Changing Our Lives
explores electromagnetic wave theory including its founders, scientific
underpinnings, ethical issues, and applications through history.
Utilizing a format of short essays, this book explains in a balanced,
and direct style how electromagnetic technologies are changing the world
we live in and the future they may create for us. Quizzes at the end of
each chapter provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the
material. This book is a valuable resource for microwave engineers of
varying levels of experience, and for instructors to motivate their
students and add depth to their assignments. In addition, this book:
- Presents topics that investigate all aspects of electromagnetic
technology throughout history
- Explores societal and global issues that relate to the field of
electrical engineering (emphasized in current ABET accreditation
criteria)
- Includes quizzes relevant to every essay and answers which explain
technical perspectives
