EMSoft- software for graduate and undergraduate educational Electromagnetics

The study of Electromagnetics is required in most electrical engineering graduate and undergraduate curricula. Traditional methods for teaching Electromagnetics are abstract, theoretical and filled with infinite number of mathematical equations. Thus, they are not anymore appropriate. The solution is to provide to both professors and students an interactive software with a simplified graphic interface to best teach and learn fundamentals of Electromagnetism. Interactive resources have demonstrated that they were attractive and encouraged the students to be active and autonomous. The aim of this work is to present such software called EMSoft. It uses the calculation functions of Matlab, combined with the powerful graphical user interfaces of Java.
