Teaching EMC engineering in an overloaded curriculum

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is not usually taught to undergraduates. The significance of the subject though and its impact on all facets of electrical and electronic engineering make it necessary to introduce it into the curriculum. It is argued that it is best to teach EMC as an integrated element within almost all undergraduate courses because of its generality. Any reluctance on the part of students to tackle additional electromagnetics is thereby countered while, at the same time, a wealth of practical examples exist to reinforce fundamental theory
