ECE 270L9
Fields and Waves: Fundamentals of Information Propagation (Lab)
Adam Wesley Davidson
Description from DukeHub
Introduces the concept of fields, a mathematical description of physical quantities that vary from place to place (and potentially from time to time), and explores the mathematical and physical reasons that oscillatory behavior is so ubiquitous across engineering and physics. Introduces the mathematical foundations, followed by specific examples in electrical circuits, electromagnetic waves, quantum mechanics, and acoustics as well as the connection to Fourier analysis methods. Intended to facilitate subsequent study in any area involving wave phenomena, including analog and microwave circuits, electromagnetics, optics, and quantum mechanics. Prerequisite: Physics 152L or 26, Mathematics 212 or 222, and ECE 110L.

- No: Live work with people
- No: Judgment someone is accountable for
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
