The CAEME numerical modeling codes

The activities of the NSF/IEEE Center for Computer Applications in Electromagnetic Education (CAEME) are reviewed. A reflection on the extensive software package developed and distributed by the CAEME Center is presented, and examples of the developed software are presented. To help integrate available EM software in classroom teaching and corporate training, CAEME developed multimedia lessons for instruction. These interactive media lessons integrate and allow individuals to interactively manipulate information from multimedia sources such as video, software, and animated graphics, and also include instructional information such as quizzes and tutorials to help evaluate the students´ performance. Features of these lessons are presented, and future developments in the Center´s activities are described. The role of CAEME software in teaching modeling and computational electromagnetics is also discussed
