Computational and visual electromagnetism using an integrated programming language for undergraduate engineering students

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.
