The use of multimedia in teaching microwave experiments

The goal of this experimental study is to improve instruction in high frequency and microwave laboratories using multimedia technology. Interest in electromagnetic and microwave subjects usually develops after a student acquires some understanding of the subject, and achieving this level of understanding is difficult with the limited exposure at the undergraduate level. Students´ difficulties in understanding theories and their further applications have prompted the authors to use multimedia to augment instruction. We believe that better visualization tools will significantly reinforce the knowledge imparted. This project uses multimedia to enhance instruction and presentation in the high frequency and microwave laboratories
