Abstract :
To survive in the globally competitive marketplace, the traditional "microwave engineer" of the past decades has gradually transformed to a "wireless RF engineer." Industry expectations for this new breed are quite different from its predecessor, therefore our universities must develop new programs to prepare young engineers for their careers.
