Abstract
Abstract. In this paper, the authors will attempt to describe their experience of teaching the fundamental concepts in Electromagnetics (EM) at the undergraduate level and will describe methods which they consider have pedagogical advantages and are better suited to the new European higher education environment convened in Bologna in 1999 (The Bologna Declaration (BD), a pledge by 29 countries to reform the structures of their higher education systems). Some of the authors have more than 15 years experience in higher education, and all of them have had duties dealing with teaching EM theory. The authors have experience in university activities, not only in lecturing but in organisation, direction and planning teaching activities and, in recent years, they have also taken part in the development of strategic plans and accreditation of new engineering curriculum aiming to create convergence in European higher education under BD. The change process has been performed smoothly since 1995. New teaching resources have been introduced. The mathematical skills demanded by the subject has been adapted to the level of the incoming students. Some realworld applications (already adapted to the students ’ level) have been proposed to increase motivation. This paper shows results of students ’ surveys that are analyzed and from conclusions are made.
