Teaching electromagnetic compatibility at the graduate level

Abstract

Graduate-level education is probably one of the best places to fit an advanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) course. To bring interest into a graduate level electromagnetic compatibility course, the material presented should incorporate novel approaches beyond the traditionally taught subjects. In this discussion, the computer age is brought into the teaching of this subject. This is accomplished by examining some of the most successful codes developed for EMC to study their different modeling techniques. Students are introduced to the physics and functionality of several electromagnetic analysis codes which can be useful in EMC analyses. A basic course in EMC would serve as a prerequisite.<>
