The recent advances in computer technology and associated software have introduced new concepts and techniques into the traditional classroom environment of engineering education. WEMAP, an electromagnetic analysis computer code, is a part of a new breed of computer aided engineering tools for teaching electromagnetics to power engineering students. WEMAP is a stand-alone interactive graphics system for electromagnetic analysis, which includes electrostatics, magnetostatics, eddy currents (time harmonic as well as transient), and permanent magnet fields. These capabilities are described in this paper and examples are given to illustrate how this program enhances the classroom presentation of some of the electromagnetic phenomena.
