E-Learning in the Courses on “Electromagnetics”, “Radio Wave Propagation” and “Electromagnetic Fields and Waves”

Abstract

Abstract The features of the educational and methodological software of E-Learning in the courses on “Electromagnetics”, “Radio Wave Propagation”, “Electromagnetic Fields and Waves” at the Southern Federal University (Russia), are considered. The electronic content MWLab EMPW of the type of online learning laboratory was developed, which allows you to organize online lectures, practical and laboratory classes, as well as self-monitoring and online knowledge control. A distinctive feature of the content is the use of video-clips of electromagnetic processes and virtual models of laboratory setups developed using Ansys HFSS. They clearly explain the formation in space and the change in time of the field lines and the values of the field vectors. This compensates for students’ difficulties in understanding the complex mathematical apparatus and the spatial-time nature of the processes of radiation and wave propagation, and increases interest in learning. E-Learning can be carried out on the MS Teams platform using the functionality of meetings and other interaction tools between the teacher and students.
