Establishment of a University Course in Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Abstract

The establishment, content, and experience with an undergraduate course in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in an electrical engineering program is described. The course was originally described three years ago [1] and has been taught in alternating semesters over the last four years. It has met with very favorable student acceptance and enthusiasm. Current college/university curricula do not generally contain such a course although the material is rapidly becoming a fundamental aspect of electrical engineering design. The means for implementing the course into an already crowded curriculum along with the use of several brief laboratories to motivate the students are discussed. © 1990 IEEE
