Inspiring Faculty on Graduate EducationInspiring Faculty on Graduate EducationThe Dilemma of Graduate Education and VISION 2001

My Dear distinguished ECE ColleaguesAnd respected pundits in your own fields

I am here to engage you on our graduate programAnd impress upon you the urgent need for reform

To reiterate my emphatic utterancesIn the past two weeks at area meetings

I say again graduate education is in troubleIronically because of the economic bubble

To counter that ours is a top-ranked departmentTherefore, we are immune to this predicamentI declare, is like getting caught in the illusion

Banking on the myth of a rock solid foundationFor I assure you without a concerted attackThe rock solid foundation will surely crackSo, let me remind you all of VISION 2001For us to agree upon as the attack in unison

While we may have our own preferencesIn the matter of implementing the details

Think of you as riding the horse of VISION 2001To conquer the dilemma of graduate education

Let us together go on the rideBy taking the steps in stride.

The Relevance of EM and EMantras

To My Dear ECE 229 StudentWhether by design or accident

You might be wondering why you should study EMOkay, let me tell you about it by means of a PoEM

First you should know that the beauty of EMLies in the nature of its compact formalismThrough a set of four wonderful EMantrasFamiliarly known as Maxwell's equations

They might be like mere four lines of mathematics to youBut in them lie a wealth of phenomena that surround you

Based on them are numerous deviceThat provide you everyday services

Without the principles of Maxwell's equationsSurely we would all have been in the dark ages

Because there would be no such thing as electrical powerNor would there be electronic communication or computer

Which are typical of the important applications of ECEAnd so you see, EM is fundamental to the study of ECE

Whether by design or accidentMy Dear ECE 229 Student.
