Indeed. Well, perhaps it is a bit of a lost art in the sense that an EE curriculum nowadays has to sacrifice so much deemed fundamental perhaps a few decades ago in order to squeeze in all the digital stuff... I for one am glad I still had subjects on transmission lines, basics of FEM modeling of electric fields, impedance matching, low power analogue electronics and a whole pile of signal analysis/processing stuff even though I wasn't in the RF stream.
