, commonthreads intersect across all definitions regardless of origin. Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, arevered Buddhist figure, activist, and educator, defines mindfulness as “showing us what ishappening in our bodies, emotions, minds, and the world. Through mindfulness, we avoidharming ourselves and others” [3]. Another widely recognized definition comes from Kabat-Zinn, who frames mindfulness as "paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the presentmoment, and nonjudgmentally” [4]. This definition emphasizes the intentional and non-judgmental aspects of mindfulness while highlighting its focused engagement with the present.Overall, mindfulness involves noticing and acknowledging thoughts, feelings, and sensations asthey arise in real-time

For example of the 200+ Masters of Business Administration (MBA) programs in theUS only a handful require students to attend for a full two years, irrespective of the student’sbackground or experience. These programs are among some of the most prestigious in thecountry. The stated reason quoted by at least two of these programs for this requirement is thatwhile they are endeavoring to provide specific business management knowledge, as importantlythey are hoping to instill an ability in the student to learn how to learn which is bestaccomplished by working with the students for a full two years.As an overarching goal, we will attempt to stimulate an interest in our students to think

In addition this courseshould enable students to predict EMI through analysis and modeling of the EMI generators,receptors and paths.EMC education tends to have special characteristics, which are best understood by the studentstrained by instructors having bias and aptitude for EMC design and analysis.
