Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop

Step 1 – make the course recognition

The student will have to follow the next steps to accomplish the
activity goals.

Step 1: Analyze the given questions according to the main applications

named in the activities to develop paragraph.

Step 2: Answer the given questions using academic resources.

Step 3: Identify the listed parameters in the final question.

Step 4: Develop a written work according to the directions in the

Products to deliver by student.

Step 5: Deliver the work in the monitoring and evaluation

environment.

Pasos, fases de la estrategia de aprendizaje para desarrollar

Paso 1: haz el reconocimiento del curso

El estudiante tendrá que seguir los próximos pasos para lograr los
objetivos de la actividad.

Paso 1: Analice las preguntas dadas de acuerdo con las aplicaciones

principales nombradas en las actividades para desarrollar el párrafo.

Paso 2: Responda las preguntas con recursos académicos.

Paso 3: identifique los parámetros enumerados en la pregunta final.

Paso 4: Desarrolle un trabajo escrito de acuerdo con las instrucciones

en los Productos para entregar por el estudiante.
Paso 5: Entregar el trabajo en el entorno de monitoreo y evaluación.

Activities to develop

In this activity we are going to consider two main applications of

electromagnetic waves and answer the given questions:

- Medical applications
- Wireless data transmission.

Actividades para desarrollar

En esta actividad vamos a considerar dos aplicaciones principales de

las ondas electromagnéticas y responder las preguntas dadas:

- Aplicaciones medicas
- Transmisión inalámbrica de datos.

Taking into account the applications, you will answer the

following questions.

1. Explain the importance to consider the Skin Deep in medical

treatments.
2. Make a graphic explaining at least three modes of
electromagnetic wave propagation, including a brief explanation
about these.
3. Can the human tissue change its conductivity because a
disease? Explain.
4. Using the electromagnetic spectrum, select a frequency used in
medical treatment and explain how it is used and select a
frequency used in wireless transmission and explain its
application.
5. Define the following concepts and give an example of a practical
application where they are used:
- Power loss
- Coupled transmission lines
- Load impedance
- Reflection
 - Refraction
- Loss tangent

In this activity, it will be evaluated the capacity to understand the

relationship between the course topics and the given applications. You
don’t have to make any math calculation.

Teniendo en cuenta las aplicaciones, responderá las siguientes

preguntas.

1. Explicar la importancia de considerar la profundidad de la piel en

tratamientos médicos.
2. Haz un gráfico que explique al menos tres modos de propagación de
ondas electromagnéticas, incluida una breve explicación sobre estos.
3. ¿Puede el tejido humano cambiar su conductividad debido a una
enfermedad? Explique.
4. Utilizando el espectro electromagnético, seleccione una frecuencia
utilizada en el tratamiento médico y explique cómo se usa y seleccione
una frecuencia utilizada en la transmisión inalámbrica y explique su
aplicación.
5. Defina los siguientes conceptos y dé un ejemplo de una aplicación
práctica donde se usan:
- Pérdida de potencia
- Líneas de transmisión acopladas
- Impedancia de carga
- Reflexión
- Refracción
- Tangente de pérdida

En esta actividad, se evaluará la capacidad de comprender la relación

entre los temas del curso y las aplicaciones dadas. No tienes que
hacer ningún cálculo matemático.

Environment Collaborative learning environment: Despite, this is an

for the individual activity, there is a forum where the student
development is going to share information with his/her fellow
classmates in order to understand clearly each
 concept and its relationship with practical problems
Medio associated with the practical engineering activities.
ambiente
para el Monitoring and evaluation environment: In this
desarrollo environment, the student will have to deliver the
individual activity, according to the course agenda.

Entorno de aprendizaje colaborativo: a pesar de

que se trata de una actividad individual, existe
un foro en el que el alumno compartirá
información con sus compañeros de clase para
comprender claramente cada concepto y su
relación con los problemas prácticos asociados
con las actividades prácticas de ingeniería.

Entorno de monitoreo y evaluación: en este entorno,

el alumno deberá realizar la actividad individual, de
acuerdo con la agenda del curso.

Individual:
The student will have to deliver a Word document with
the following Contents:
