A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

• ‘The ideal engineer is a composite.
He is not a scientist, he is not a
mathematician, he is not a
sociologist or a writer; but he may
use the knowledge and techniques of
any or all of these disciplines in
solving engineering problems‘
– Doherty (1955)
11. The Engineer as a Professional
• Engineers are trained primarily to solve problems
• They are expected to be able to:
– recognise, identify, and define problems and
deficiencies, or conditions that need
improvement;
– couple their reservoir of knowledge and skills in
innovative thought to produce acceptable
solutions
• On records, there are 53,000, and off-record,
about 100,000 in Nigeria today
12. The Engineer as a Professional
A 21st Century Engineer is expected to possess:
◦ Factual knowledge about the technology and
scientific principles relevant to his/her branch
of engineering practice
◦ An ability to use technology creatively to give
the most effective solution to the problem at
hand, and to do this ethically
◦ A persistently inquiring and creative mind
13. Living up to the Expectations
To be able to live up to the expectations of a
21st Century Engineer, obtaining a first degree
is not enough
The best way to live up to expectations is to:
◦ Remain a lifelong learner who is able to
learn, re-learn and unlearn
◦ Dare to be different
14. What does it mean to be Different?
To be different is to:
• dare is to break the norm
• refuse to conform to the status quo
• refuse to accept the popular opinion and
move to defend one's course in life
• be distinct
• attempt great things and stand out
15. Dare to be Different
• “If you desire to make a difference in the world,
you must be different from the world.” — Elaine
S. Dalton
• If you want to change things, you need to rattle
some cages, shake things up, and go for the bold.
• You have to find the edge and, then push past it
• The way to change the world, or at least your
world, is to dare to be different. When you dare
to be different, you step out of the mould, and
you make space for your creative twists
16. Dare to be Different
• When you dare to be different, sometimes
you stand alone
• But alone is where your unique creative
contribution can thrive
• It’s what leaders, great artists, and inspiring
minds, do. They take us beyond the edges of
conformity to pave brave new frontiers

• Think Outside the Box - is a metaphor for
thinking:
–differently
–unconventionally, or
–from a new perspective
–Boxes are mental models including ideas,
approaches, philosophies, tactics, theories,
strategies, et c.
28. So, what is the box?
• What is encompassed by the words "inside
the box" is analogous with the current, and
often unnoticed, assumptions about a
situation
• Boxes can both guide and set you free
• However, they can also obscure the truth and
hold you back. They can trap you in rigid
assumptions and push you towards tired
routines and stale assumptions
29. Benefits of Thinking Outside the Box
It pushes you to:
• Ask questions
• Challenge rigid rules and tired frameworks
• Take risks
• Imagine
• Invent –create new ideas or methods of doing
something
• Innovate- use better/novel ideas/methods of
doing something
• Improve-do the same thing better
30. In Conclusion….
• The engineer is the key figure in the material
progress of the world. It is his engineering that
makes a reality of the potential value of science
by translating scientific knowledge into tools,
resources, energy and labour to bring them into
the service of man ... To make contributions of
this kind the engineer requires the imagination to
visualize the needs of society and to appreciate
what is possible as well as the technological and
broad social age understanding to bring his vision
to reality - Sir Eric Ashby
