Center for Electromagnetic Compatibility

电磁兼容性I/UCRC全中心提案（第一阶段）克莱姆森大学（CU）寻求加入现有的由密苏里科技大学（MST）和休斯顿大学（UH）组成的I/UCRC“电磁兼容性”项目。MST是拟议中心的牵头机构。电磁兼容性（EMC）是几乎所有高速数字电子助理和家庭娱乐中心必不可少的控制和信息处理系统的基本特征。EMC是指这些电子系统能够可靠地工作，而不会对其他电子系统造成干扰，对其他电子系统产生的微弱信号过于敏感，以及在系统的一部分产生干扰同一系统另一部分运行的信号的能力。PI转移到科罗拉多大学和克莱姆森大学国际汽车研究中心（CU- icar）为正在进行的汽车研究提供了一个独特的机会。CU-ICAR的教员和设施将有助于吸引代表汽车、航空航天和工业自动化行业的新中心成员。克莱姆森汽车电子实验室通过研究项目、咨询和短期课程，帮助十多家公司解决了与电磁干扰相关的问题。拟议的中心将鼓励机构之间的合作，并致力于根据行业要求在EMC领域提供熟练和多样化的劳动力。这项研究将使学生和教师接触到对行业有价值的最先进的研究项目。由大学参与者进行的研究开发的大部分材料已被纳入短期课程，科罗拉多大学打算利用这一短期课程的某些部分，通过改善对研究生群体中代表性不足群体的招募，来解决多样性问题。科罗拉多大学还打算开发一些适合K-12课程的演示，旨在让高中生对技术职业感兴趣。2008年9月，科罗拉多大学在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的全国榜样会议上因其在几个备受瞩目的多元化项目中取得的成功而受到表彰。

Full Center Proposal (Phase I) for an I/UCRC for Electromagnetic Compatibility 0934299 Clemson University; Todd HubingClemson University (CU) seeks to join the existing I/UCRC "Electromagnetic Compatibility" consisting of the Missouri University of Science and Technology (MST) and the University of Houston (UH). MST is the lead institution of the proposed Center. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is an essential feature of virtually all high speed digital electronic assistants and home entertainment centers to essential control and information processing systems. EMC is the ability of these electronic systems to function reliably without causing interference to other electronic systems, being overly sensitive to weak signals generated by other electronic systems, and generating signals in one part of the system interfering with the operation of another part of the same system. The PI's move to CU and the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) provides a unique opportunity to significantly expand the automotive research being done. The CU-ICAR faculty and facilities will help attract new center memberships representing the automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation industries. The Clemson Vehicular Electronics Laboratory has helped more than a dozen companies address EMC-related problems through research projects, consulting and short courses. The proposed Center will encourage collaboration amongst the institutions, and is committed to providing a skilled and diverse workforce in the area of EMC as required by industry. The research will expose students and faculty to state-of-the-art research projects of value to the industry. Much of the material developed as a result of the research performed by the university participants has been incorporated into short courses, and CU intends to use some parts of this short course to address diversity by improving its recruiting of underrepresented groups among the graduate student population. CU also intends to develop some demonstrations suitable for K-12 programs designed to interest high school students in technical careers. In September 2008, CU was honored at the National Role Models Conference in Arlington, VA for its success in several high-profile diversity programs.
