General Course Overview

Electrical Engineering 371 at the University of Missouri-Rolla is a senior/graduate level course that introduces electromagnetic compatibility concepts and techniques to students who will be designing and working with high-speed electronic systems when they graduate. This is a highly design-oriented course. Students will participate in 5 laboratory projects that allow them to apply the material covered in the classroom. Topics covered by the course include:

Electromagnetic Interference Sources (why things radiate)
Electromagnetic Immunity Problems (why things don't always work the way they're supposed to)
EMC Measurements
Diagnosing and Solving EMC Problems
Crosstalk and Signal Integrity Issues
Grounding, Filtering, and Shielding
Printed Circuit Board Layout
Lightning and Electrostatic Discharge Protection
