Communicat ion\, remote sensing\, integrated command/ control/surveillance systems\, intelligent transportation systems\, medicine\, environment\, education\, marketing\, defense are only a few areas where EM fields have critical imp ortance. We have witnessed the transformation from Engineering Electromagn etics to Electromagnetic Engineering for the last few decades after being surrounded by EM waves everywhere. Among many others\, EM engineering deal s with broad range of problems from antenna design to EM scattering\, indo or–outdoor radiowave propagation to wireless communication\, radar syste ms to integrated surveillance\, subsurface imaging to novel materials\, EM compatibility to nano-systems\, electroacoustic devices to electro-optica l systems\, etc. The range of the devices we use in our daily life has ext ended from DC up to Terahertz frequencies. We have had both large-scale (k ilometers-wide) and small-scale (nanometers) EM systems. Large portion of these systems are broadband and digital\, and have to operate in close pro ximity that results in severe EM interference problems. Engineers have to take EM issues into account from the earliest possible design stages. This necessitates establishing an intelligent balance between strong mathemati cal background (theory)\, engineering experience (practice)\, and modeling and numerical computations (simulation).\n\nThis keynote lecture aims at a broad-brush look at certain teaching / training challenges that confront wave-oriented EM engineering in the 21st century\, in a complex computer and technology-driven world with rapidly shifting societal and technical p riorities.\n\nThe lecture also discusses modeling and simulation strategie s pertaining to complex EM problems and supplies several user-friendly vir tual tools\, most of which have been presented in the IEEE AP Magazine and which are very effective in teaching and training in lectures such as EM Wave Theory\, Antennas and Radiowave Propagation\, EM Scattering and Diffr action\, Guided Wave Theory\, Microstrip Circuit Design\, Radar Cross Sect ion Prediction\, Transmission Lines\, Metamaterials\, etc.\n\nReferences\n \n- Sevgi\, Electromagnetic Modeling and Simulation\, IEEE Press – John Wiley (EM Wave Series)\, NJ\, Apr 2014.\n- Sevgi\, Complex Electromagnetic Problems and Numerical Simulation Approaches\, IEEE Press – John Wiley & Sons\, May 2003.\n- Sevgi\, A Practical Guide to EMC Engineering\, ARTEC H House\, Norwood\, MA\, March 2017.\n- Apaydın\, L.

Understanding and visualizing EM wave – object interaction is crucial in designing new antenna systems\, in predicting path losses th rough complex propagation paths\, etc. In order to do that wave pieces suc h as diffracted waves\, Fringe waves\, etc.\, should first be studied on c anonical structures. Then\, complex objects can be investigated by using H FA as well as numerical methods in hybrid form intelligently.\n\nEM wave s cattering from waves – objects interaction has long been investigated. I nteresting wave phenomena\, diffraction\, occur when objects have sharp ed ges and tips. Methods known as High Frequency Asymptotics\, such as Geomet ric optics (GO)\, Physical Optics\, (PO)\, Geometrical Theory of Diffracti on\, (GTD)\, Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD)\, Physical Theory of Diff raction (PTD) and Theory of Edge Diffraction (TED) have been successfully applied to variety of EM problems. Recently\, numerical methods\, such as Finite Difference time Domain (FDTD)\, Method of Moments (MoM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) have also been used in modeling EM diffraction. These powerful methods\, together with novel approaches\, have shown to be succ essful not only in modeling EM diffraction but also in distinguishing wave pieces such as scattered waves\, diffracted waves\, Fringe waves\, etc.\, which is very important in visualizing and understanding complex wave – object interaction.\n\nThis talk will review all these approaches\, use r ecently developed EM virtual tools and present comparisons through canonic al examples.\n\nReferences\n\n- L.
