Abstract :
Numerical modeling is now an essential part of undergraduate engineering education. This paper reviews the content and delivery of a course for undergraduate engineers, in computational and visual electromagnetics using the integrated programming language, Matlab. A number of numerical methods are discussed including FDM, FEM, MOM and BEM during class. Matlab is then used to implement these methods in a series of workshops, laboratories exercises and assignments
