Nanoengineering and Nanodevices

EEE 560 sits at the interface where classical electromagnetics meets quantum mechanics, asking how light and electrons actually behave when you shrink structures down to the scale of their own wavelengths. You'll move between Maxwell's equations and Schrödinger's equation to understand plasmons, photonic crystals, and quantum-confined systems, with a term project and TMM-style coding work (typically in Mathematica) to make the theory concrete. It's a graduate elective that ties together EM theory, semiconductor physics, and quantum mechanics, and it's the natural bridge into research on nanophotonic devices, plasmonic sensors, and quantum-dot electronics.
