About the Open Electromagnetics Project

The Open Electromagnetics Project was established at Virginia Tech in 2017 with the goal of creating no-cost openly-licensed textbooks for courses in undergraduate engineering electromagnetics. While a number of very fine traditional textbooks are available on this topic, we feel that it has become unreasonable to insist that students pay hundreds of dollars per book when effective alternatives can be provided using modern media at little or no cost to the student. This project is equally motivated by the desire for the freedom to adopt, modify, and improve educational resources.
