Also th e details of what is actually known will be considered.\n\n10:00 Break & Exhibits\n\n11:00\nSession 2 – The Tools Used for EMC Design\n\nIn this section\, the means of solving the above physics problems will be covered\ , that is\; computational techniques\, analytic techniques and more. Here the importance of what is not known will also be discussed\n\n12:00 LUNCH \n\n1:00\nSession 3 – The Art of EMC Design\n\nThe correct application o f the tools will be covered in this piece.
