Abstract (Maximum 200 words).The intentional *or" in the title of this report emphasizes the exact, mathematical equivalence between the acoustic and electromagnetic scattering problems for a two-dimensional, penetrable wedge. A z-directed, time-harmonic line source at the transverse (xy) position r is external and parallel to the wedge of an infinite wedge of included angle 2a. Both the exterior (region 1) and interior (region 2) are composed of simple media having linear, isotropic, and homogeneous properties. The College of Engineering at The University of Alabama has an undergraduate enrollment of 1,800 students and a graduate enrollment exceeding 250. There are approximately 100 faculty members, a significant number of whom conduct research in addition to teaching.Research is an integral part of the educational program, and research interests of the faculty parallel academic specialities. A wide variety of projects are included in the overall research effort of the College, and these projects form a solid base for the graduate program which offers fourteen different master's and five different doctor of philosophy degrees.Other This University community provides opportunities for interdisciplinary work in pursuit of the basic goals of teaching, research, and public service.
BUREAU OF ENGINEERING RESEARCHThe Bureau of Engineering Research (BER) is an integral part of the College of Engineering of The University of Alabama. The primary functions of the BER Include: 1) identifying sources of funds and other outside support bases to encourage and promote the research and educational activities within the College of Engineering; 2) organizing and promoting the research interests and accomplishments of the engineering faculty and students; 3) assisting in the preparation coordination, and execution of proposals, including research, equipment, and instructional proposals; 4) providing engineering faculty, students, and staff with services such as graphics and audiovisual support and typing and editing of proposals and scholarly works; 5) promoting faculty and staff development through travel and seed project support, incentive stipends, and publicity related to engineering faculty, students, and programs; 6) developing innovative methods by which the College of Engineering can increase its effectiveness in providing high quality educational opportunities for those with whom it has contact; and 7) providing a source of timely and accurate data that reflect the variety and depth of contributions made by the faculty, students and staff of the College of Engineering to the overall success of the University in meeting its mission.Through these activities, the BER serves as a unit dedicated to assisting the College of Engineering faculty by providing significant and quality service activities.
