Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is everybody's concern. Where is it in the engineering and technology curriculum?

Abstract

EMI study has a definite place in the technology curriculum. In addition to introducing EMI sources and general EMI elimination methodologies, specific sources of EMI should be discussed and examples demonstrated in the lab. A very effective review of the entire EET curriculum can be implemented in an EMI course. One example of integrating the EMI techniques into the curriculum would be the process of designing a simple radio frequency interference (RFI) receiver, troubleshooting the receiver and then using the receiver to detect other RFI sources.
