Modern electronic systems are governed by electromagnetic fields, yet most engineers were educated using simplified circuit models that often don't explain the behavior of today's high-speed designs.

This practical, two-hour seminar uses intuitive illustrations, animations, and real-world examples to explain how electromagnetic fields actually move energy through electronic systems, and why that understanding is essential for successful PCB design.

Without relying on advanced mathematics, attendees will develop a field-based understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), learning why products pass or fail compliance testing and how better design decisions can reduce risk, redesigns, and development time.

Whether you're a PCB designer, hardware engineer, engineering manager, or technical leader, this seminar provides a practical foundation for understanding the electromagnetic field principles that govern modern electronic systems.

 

You’ll Learn To

✅ Visualize how electromagnetic fields move energy through electronic systems.
✅ Understand why traditional circuit-only models are often insufficient for today's electronics.
✅ Recognize how field behavior influences signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC.
✅ Apply field-based thinking to make better PCB design decisions.
✅ Build a foundation for reducing design iterations and improving first-pass success.

 

Ideal For

PCB designers, hardware engineers, engineering managers, program managers, and technical professionals who want to understand the electromagnetic field principles that govern modern electronic systems and improve signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC performance.
