EMC Principles 2nd Ed. consists of 36 fifty-minute video-taped lectures
(total of 9 DVDs), addressing the subject matter listed at the right.
The objectives of the course are to:
Introduce fundamental EMC concepts
Encourage good EMC design techniques
Develop an ability to diagnose and solve EMC problems
Review methods and tools available to help design compliant products
A final exam will be used to evaluate performance. Two practice exams and
several problem assignments are included in the course. These will be discussed
by the instructor during the course, but they will not be turned in or
graded.
