From engineering electromagnetics towards electromagnetic engineering: issues, chalanges and applications - preface

Abstract

Nowadays, electromagnetics (EM) is everywhere! Although the contents of the two basic EM lectures – Field Theory and Wave Theory – have stayed almost unchanged for the last couple of decades we have witnessed the transformation from engineering EM to EM engineering for some time. Therefore, addressing technical challenges posed by electrical, electronics, communication, and computer system complexities requires a broad range of innovative, multi-disciplinary analytical and computational skills that are not adequately covered in conventional EM engineering curricula. EM engineering community, therefore, must be prepared to adapt to frequent shifts in technological priorities and rapid scientific advances, followed by rapid advances in technologies. [...]
