dc.description.abstract	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.	pt_PT
