This course "Electromagnetic fields and waves", conducted in English, is a specialization fundamental course for college students of electronics and electrical engineering. From the course, students will understand and be familiar with the characteristics of electrostatic field, steady magnetic field, steady current field, time-varying electromagnetic field, and electromagnetic waves. from the perspective of rigorous mathematical deduction. The course starts with describing static fields which require relatively simple mathematical description, and proceeds to the time-variant scenarios, and then finally, to the establishment of complete electromagnetic theory. The content of the course is consistent with that presented in similar electromagnetism course in most of international universities. The lecturer, Prof. Xuefng Yin who led the course for more than ten years won the title of "Shanghai municipal exemplary English-conducting specialization course model" for this course in 2016.  Students who have chosen to follow the course involve both Chinese students and a large number of overseas students. 

The objective of this course is to build a solid electromagnetism basis for students specialized in electronics and electrical engineering. To achieve this goal, we set the course content sufficiently broad in order to cover static fields which are fundamentals for electrical engineering, and meanwhile, the electromagnetic waves characterized with time-harmonic behaviors which are prerequisite for study in electronics and information engineering. 

Students are required to have studied advanced mathematics, linear algebra, vector analysis and other basic physics courses.
