Abstract :
Each year, our members come to the annual Symposium braced for a new and stimulating experience. Every year since Andy Drozd inaugurated the events in 1992, the Hardware Experiments and Demonstrations as well as the Computer Modeling and Simulations sessions continue to be a Symposium signature event. These sessions collectively provide attendees the opportunity to not only observe an exciting, educational, and thought provoking series of experiments and demonstrations provided by some of the Society´s best and brightest practitioners, but to also directly interact with the presenters themselves. As a result, folks are able to gain a deeper understanding of fundamental theory and its application, as well as learn of new applications, all of which can be adopted to make better EMC engineers. This past year in Pittsburgh was no different. Teammates Sam Connor and Bob Scully were able to recruit skilled presenters for seven hardware experiments and four computer software demonstrations. Symposium attendees who made their way to the back of the exhibit hall to observe and participate were well-rewarded over the three days of exhibits with multiple concurrently running presentations from which to choose.
