Abstract

The CAEME interactive multimedia CD-ROM for engineering electromagnetics includes a variety of modules which describe a basic course in electromagnetics. Lessons range from vector algebra to transmission lines analysis. They also include conducting and dielectric materials, Maxwell´s equations and wave propagation. A large number of virtual laboratories and active instruments have also been implemented to enhance interactivity. We describe the features of new simulation software packages implemented in the CD-ROM and the new multimedia modules on antennas and magnetism.
