Hello All I recently posted a request for information on Universities that offer EMC Educational activities. I thank those that responded but was very surprised by the very small number of Universities involved. I would like therefore to widen the debate. EMC Education and Training Behind EMC lays the Technology and Science of Electromagnetism, Signal Integrity and RF Engineering... EMC is a by-product of these disciplines. Over the past dozen or so years EMC has been largely, if not entirely, driven by Directives and Regulations. Around this scenario has evolved a specialised product industry together with consultants and soothsayers. Without the furore of this activity, EMC would almost certainly not have been on the RADAR to the extent that it has been. Could this be the reason why formal qualifications and academic training has not evolved at the same pace or magnitude? Is the apparent lack of resources committed to Training and Education due to the relevant organisations and Governments lack of understanding with respect to the complexity surrounding EMC... or are there other reasons. Invariably, or at least in many cases, Engineers seem to have ended up becoming EMC Engineers by default, not design. Does anyone actually set out with the sole purpose of becoming an EMC Engineer? Did you? I am interested in the views of others and finding out what resources are currently available, plus I would like to hear from Trainers, Educators, Course Presenters, EMC Engineers, Consultants and anyone else that can contribute to the debate by expressing their opinions. Thank you. Alan E Hutley The EMC Journal www.theemcjournal.com -
