IEEE STANDARDS INFORMATION NETWORK AND ELLIOTT LABORATORIES RELEASE EMCT: ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATABILITY TUTORIAL 2.0
Complete EMC Education on CD-ROM brings self-study for engineers to new levels
SUNNYVALE, Calif. Feb. 3, 2003 - In response to increased demand for high quality self-study educational programs for electrical engineering professionals, the IEEE Standards Information Network and Elliott Laboratories have recently released EMCT: Electromagnetic Compatibility Tutorial version 2.0 on CD-ROM. Building on the success of the single module release of EMCT version 1.0 in early 2002, the new version has been widely expanded to feature 3 complete learning modules designed to cover the entire array of EMC-related fields of study.
Authored by renowned EMC expert W. Michael King, EMC Tutorial version 2.0 is a powerful learning tool for professionals and students interested in expanding their knowledge of the real world EMC engineering issues that affect everything from product design to regulatory compliance. With over 1200 screens filled with high quality multimedia graphics and illustrations, this interactive CD-ROM combines the best qualities of a classroom instructor, a seminar, and a textbook into one extremely convenient and effective teaching medium. And since EMCT has passed the IEEE Peer Review process customers can rest assured that the product meets with the highest professional standards.
The full release of EMC Tutorial version 2.0 contains three primary learning modules, each representing a complete field of EMC study, and one introductory mini-module.
- Introduction to EMC (mini-module)
- Module 1: Propagation from Devices, Circuit Boards and the Chassis
- Module 2: EMC Design Principles
- Module 3: EMC Shielding Methodologies and Application
With limited time available for traditional classroom-based instruction, today more and more engineering professionals are seeking self-study programs that make use of new multimedia technologies to conveniently provide the training they need to remain competitive in the modern workplace. EMCT version 2.0 meets this demand by providing a self-study vehicle that masterfully weaves together the concepts of EMC into a powerful understanding of complex systems Ð one simple layer at time. The teaching method is both conceptual and intuitive. In addition to developing a rich understanding of EMC fundamentals, throughout the tutorial the user is also provided with numerous "real world" examples and design rules.
"How many engineers have spent $1,000 or more to attend a 3-day seminar on EMC, only to walk away with some reading materials and a limited comprehension of the subject matter? This product allows the customer to learn at their own pace, at times that are convenient for them, and in the comfort of their own home or workplace," said Eddie Pavlu, President of Elliott Laboratories. "The educational content found in EMCT is the relative equivalent of three distinct college-level courses in EMC, so it clearly takes more than just a few days to cover everything. We expect that many of our customers will use items like the EMCT Design Rules Library as a functional reference manual for years to come. This material does not get dated very quickly."
Availability
EMCT version 2.0 is currently available for purchase through the IEEE Catalog & Store and on the Elliott Laboratories website at www.elliottlabs.com/emc_tutorial.htm
List price for a single user license of EMCT version 2.0 is $899. Promotional discounts are periodically available to IEEE members and other groups. There is also a special pricing plan available for students and educational institutions.
