About the Speakers Mark Steffka is with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Engineering Group of General Motors (GM) Powertrain and is a faculty member at two universities in the Detroit, Michigan area. He has over 25 years of industry experience in the design, development, and testing of military, aerospace and automotive electronics. He teaches continuing education courses on Automotive EMC and Antennas. He is a co-author of the book Automotive Electromagnetic Compatibility and the recipient of faculty and alumni awards from the University of Michigan - Dearborn for his contributions to engineering education and the EMC curriculum. He is a member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and is the Technical Program Co-Chair for the upcoming 2008 IEEE EMC Symposium, which will be held in Detroit this August. Dr. Vicente Rodríguez holds BSEE, MSEE and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Mississippi. In June 2000, he joined EMC Test Systems (now ETS-Lindgren) as an RF and Electromagnetics engineer. During this time he was involved in the RF anechoic design of several chambers, including rectangular and taper antenna pattern measurement chambers, some operating from 100 MHz to 40 GHz. In September 2004, Dr. Rodríguez took over the position of Senior Principal Antenna Design Engineer, placing him in charge of the development of new antennas for different applications and improving the existing antenna line. The antennas he s developed include new broadband double and quadridged guide horns with a single lobe pattern and high-field-generator horns for the automotive industry. Scott Mee received his BSEE in 1998 from Michigan Technological University (MTU) with a focus in the RF communications and electromagnetics areas. He has been working for Johnson Controls for 9 years in EMC testing, analysis and design. While at Johnson Controls he has developed EMC test laboratory capability, achieved AEMCLRP accreditation status, and currently leads the EMC design and pre-compliance testing capability. He is a NARTE certified EMC Engineer and his interests include EMC design, pre-compliance testing and product debugging. Dr. Todd Hubing is the Michelin Professor of Vehicular Electronics at Clemson University. He holds a BSEE from MIT, an MSEE from Purdue, and a Ph.D. from North Carolina State University. He began his career as an EMC engineer for IBM in 1982, where he did EMC testing and troubleshooting on a variety of computer and network communications products. In 1989, he became a faculty member at the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) where he worked with other faculty and students to analyze and develop solutions for a wide range of EMC problems affecting the electronics industry. Since coming to Clemson in 2006, he has continued his work in electromagnetic compatibility and computational electromagnetic modeling, particularly as it is applied to automotive and aerospace electronics.
Dr. Daryl Beetner is an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly University of Missouri - Rolla), where he is also the associate chair for computer engineering. He performs research on a large number of topics, including electromagnetic compatibility at the chip- and system-level. Dr. Julian Weber is the Manager, CoC Strategy E/E and Driver Environment for the BMW Group in Munich, Germany. He assumed this position in 1997. Prior to 1997, he was BMW s Manager, Purchasing Strategy and Innovation Management North America in Spartanburg, South Carolina. In 1997, he received the Doctor of Mechanical Engineering, conferred by the Technical University Karlsruhe, Germany, Prof. Dieter Spath. His thesis title was Evaluation of Design and Development Results by Virtual Scenarios Karlsruhe, Germany. In 1992, he received his Master in Mechanical Engineering/Design and Development, conferred by the Technical University Munich, Germany, Prof. Klaus Ehrlenspiel.

Overview The Program This program was designed to bring the latest technology related to automotive EMC design, test and measurement techniques to the local community. Experts in the industry will share practical information on various topics in an extended presentation format. This allows a thorough discussion of each topic and provides the opportunity for extended questions and answers. The hands-on quality of the presentation enables the registrant to learn useful information that can be used on the job in the real world. The Exhibition & Reception There will be an exhibition by vendors of EMC design, test and measurement related products and services in an area neighboring the technical presentations. These products and services address the needs of the commercial, military, and aerospace industries. During the reception from 5:00 to 6:00 pm in the exhibit area, heavy appetizers and a hosted bar will be available. IEEE members are welcome to attend the reception only at NO CHARGE provided a registration form is completed and sent in advance. A badge will be available for the reception only attendees upon arrival at 5:00 pm. Thus, if you can t join us for the entire day, drop by for the reception and exhibition to network with the speakers and attendees. You can see demonstrations, meet the speakers, and you might even win a raffle prize! Colloquium and Exhibition Location Clemson University ICAR Campus Carroll A.
