Abstract :
This paper describes an application-enhanced approach to teaching fundamental concepts in electromagnetics at the introductory undergraduate level. A numerical tool with interactive visualization is used to aid in the presentation of engineering applications that are used to motivate basic electromagnetic concepts. The goals are to exploit design automation tools as a supplementary instructional aid, and to illustrate to students the use of theory in practice
