Resumo(s)
A significant pedagogical innovation in teaching
and learning Electromagnetics in undergraduate engineering
programmes is the resource to simulations, preferably
interactive. A classical approach would require a vector calculus
background and three-dimensional geometrical
resourcefulness, typically not maturated by undergraduate
students. On the other hand, interactive simulations are able to
support a meaningful visual insight into the fundamental laws
and concepts of electromagnetic theory. This work describes an
educational tool which relies in an open source graphical user
interface to finite element software, able to provide interaction,
accuracy and visual interpretations of the Electromagnetics
fundamental laws and classical problems, able to hasten the
students’ understanding, by lessening the abstract nature of
vector fields, level curves and gradient fields. This tool is to be
further developed to gather a set of vast examples and typical
problems, able to support a web-based training platform.
