“…In order to attract user interac-tion, the exercises must be simple, straightforward, and taught through the lecture notes. Some electromagnetic design examples will be useful for students to understand applications of devices in practical points of view [3]. The Web-based inductor design program is included, allowing students to design inductors using magnetic cores to enhance their learning interest.…”

Abstract-This paper discusses techniques used to develop an electronic book about electromagnetics. The techniques are based on problem-based learning, which is the latest method used for teaching. This method, together with engineering tools, is well suited for teaching these subjects to students in Asia. The proposed techniques allows teaching to be not limited to paper study by allowing the use of multimedia methods and computational electromagnetics. This enables the users to have a variety of means for the study of these areas. The embedded computing software and the design program also enhance the users' interest.Index Terms-Education, inductor, internet, web page design.

“…While the last several decades have seen an increased interest in using CAD tools to improve teaching and learning in undergraduate electromagnetics courses, it is important to consider carefully how this is implemented [1], [6], [7]. In some cases, instructors may be tempted to design CAD-based exercises in an ad hoc fashion, or motivated by the context of commercial electromagnetic simulation software accessible to them.…”

“…Therefore, the improvement of teaching electromagnetics courses has received notable interest over, at least, the last two decades [1]- [13]. One approach being increasingly employed for this purpose is introducing the use of computational analysis and design (CAD) tools in these courses [3], [7], [12], [13]. These types of simulation tools have the potential to significantly improve undergraduate students' knowledge and interest in electromagnetics [2], [6], [14], [15].…”

“…These types of simulation tools have the potential to significantly improve undergraduate students' knowledge and interest in electromagnetics [2], [6], [14], [15]. In particular, accurate and reliable CAD tools can help illustrate important engineering applications of electromagnetics theory without the need for expensive laboratory test facilities [3], [6], [7].…”

“…In a well-designed CAD tool-based teaching environment, the resultant benefit to student learning should justify the various associated implementation costs [1], [6], [7]. For example, a main theme to emerge during the panel discussion at Compumag 2003 was that CAD tools must be user-friendly and capable of providing near real-time feedback to the student.…”

Undergraduate electromagnetic field courses entail significant teaching and learning challenges. The use of simulation technologies in these courses can be an effective teaching strategy if designed properly. An assessment-based approach for identifying difficult concepts to incorporate into simulation-oriented learning is investigated. The potential benefits of the approach are illustrated with a case study.

Purpose This paper aims to present application of electromagnetic field (EMF) modeling in the educational process of electrical engineering study. Special attention has been paid to determination of specific parameters and characteristics as a function of device design. The aim is to introduce to the students the great opportunities for study and optimization of system behavior, based on the modeling of EMF distribution. Design/methodology/approach Illustrative examples have been considered, in which the students have to model the EMF distribution in relatively simple devices, using both analytical field determination and finite element method (FEM) analysis. The task includes also the determination of capacitances, inductances, magnetic fluxes, energies and forces. The problem has to be solved for different values of geometry parameters and material properties of the device. Thus, students can examine specific relation between field distribution and changes of the design. Findings The modeling of EMF distribution for different geometry and material properties allows determination of key factors, significantly influencing the behavior and processes in the studied device, which is the basic element in the computer-aided design systems and it can be used in subsequent system optimization. Practical implications The wide possibilities and advantages of the FEM simulations have been demonstrated in the modeling of EMF distribution and obtaining of device parameters. It enables students to significantly improve their knowledge in EMF theory and helps the future engineers to estimate the great advantages and possibilities for optimal device designing, which offer them the numerical simulation of electromagnetic processes. Originality/value This work illustrates possibilities, advantages and many years of author’s experience in application of EMF modeling in the teaching process in the study of electrical engineering specialties. The work problems presented have been solved analytically and on the basis of computer FEM simulations, which allows comparison of the opportunities and necessary efforts, offered by both kinds of methods.
