“…The benefits of writing computer codes to solve problems in electromagnetics are noted in Reference [8] where it is stated that the use of computers increases the student's need to understand fundamental field concepts of the problem involved and the need to be able to obtain the conventional analytical solutions of simple problems. The belief that computational methods can enhance student motivation to learn electromagnetics is also stated in References [3,35,36].…”

“…MATLAB has also easily produced graphics and powerful support for mathematical modeling that is trivial to use commands for matrix multiplication, initialization, discrete Fourier transform, etc. For these reasons, MATLAB is widely used [8,12,30,43].…”

“…In addition, as electromagnetic waves are invisible, students have difficulty in imagining the invisible electromagnetic field [7]. As indicated in Reference [8], EM field phenomena are normally expressed in 3D vector notation, are physically invisible and students, at the beginning, have difficulty in relating mathematical models to good mental images. Computers and computer graphics were suggested to overcome many of the conceptual difficulties.…”

“…These solutions, although they can be shown to improve teaching, lack one specific task: programming. Mias and Read discuss the advantages of utilizing programming in electromagnetics instruction. They both note that the benefit of writing computer code is that it increases the students’ need to understand fundamental field concepts of the problem involved and the need to be able to obtain the conventional analytical solutions of simple problems.…”

This paper discusses an integrated approach to electrical‐engineering education that incorporates computer‐assisted MATLAB‐based instruction and learning into the junior‐level electromagnetics course and newly created learning studio modules (LSMs). In this model, creativity class sessions are followed by two comprehensive and rather challenging multi‐week homework assignments of MATLAB problems and projects in electromagnetic fields. This is enabled by a unique and extremely comprehensive collection of MATLAB computer exercises and projects, reinforcing all important theoretical concepts, methodologies, and problem‐solving techniques in electromagnetic fields and waves, developed by one of the faculty team members. These tutorials, exercises, and codes constitute a modern tool for learning electromagnetics via computer‐mediated exploration and inquiry, exploiting the technological and pedagogical power of MATLAB software as a general learning technology. The novel approach introduces students to MATLAB programming of electromagnetic fields, as opposed to just passive demonstrations of MATLAB's tools and capabilities for computation and visualization of fields. MATLAB programming tutorials and assignments are designed to deepen student engagement and accommodate different learning styles so students can learn more effectively. In addition to improving students’ understanding and command of MATLAB use and programming within the electromagnetics context and beyond, these exercises increase their motivation to learn and appreciation of the practical relevance of the material, and equip them with the tools and skills to excel in other courses and projects. The results of this project were qualitatively analyzed through feedback surveys given to the students at the end of each MATLAB assignment. The Electromagnetics Concept Inventory was also used.

“…More especially, multimedia technologies, computer graphics and visualization tools make teaching of Science more attractive and fascinating [1], [2]. The recent evolution in software and hardware, like for example the development of low cost multimedia capturing devices (video cameras, scanners, etc) or the implementation of sophisticated video compression methods, produces a huge amount of content [3].…”

Abstract-This paper presents the main operations and technologies implemented in the framework of the EU funded COSMOS project. COSMOS introduces an advanced web repository which allows teachers and students to search, retrieve, access educational content and re-use educational material for creating earning activities through a specifically designed web interface incorporating innovative technological solutions. The repository is based on an IEEE LOM representation of the content which supports educational scenarios and learning activities as well. The architecture also supports tools for describing and managing digital content rights, which are interoperably represented using the Creative Commons Rights Expression Language (ccREL).
