Project Goals and Description:
This project intends to generate tools or use existing software tools to generate files for visualizing electromagnetic waves and antennas radiation patterns.
These tools will be very helpful for student attending many classes in the electrical engineering and physics departments, especially those who are taking courses related to the antennas and wireless communications emphasis area.
More Information:
Grand Challenge: Advance personalized learning.
- Existing 2D and 3D finite difference time domain codes that will be used to generate animation files.
- Reference book on how the finite difference time domain simulation method works.
- Several MATLAB codes to be updated to generate movies files.

Student Preparation
Qualifications
- Ability and desire to develop programs and to use program to generate visualization files in different format. Knowlege of programming in MALAB is required. However, other programming language could also be used.
- Ability and desire to learn and develop programs for simple electromagnetic equations.
TIME COMMITMENT (HRS/WK)
5 hours per week
SKILLS/TECHNIQUES GAINED
- learn how to use an EM simulation software packages
- learn how to use MATLAB to design Apps
- learn how to produce scientific documentations and presentations.
MENTORING PLAN
- Regular one on one meetings with the advisor (Atef Elsherbeni), usually once or twice a week
- Meeting with other members of the ARC research group (graduate and other undergraduate students) as needed.
