Comsol MultiphysicsTM as an educational resource for students

Abstract

Studies point out that interactive teaching methods create deeper learning, students develop better thinking skills by presenting concrete examples and students demonstrate better memory and are more appreciated. This paper presents a new method of teaching and learning basic phenomena and also complex studies for students enrolled in Technical Faculties. The method consists in using a commercial simulation program for creating applications that match the various issues raised in the seminar and lab hours. Finally, an application example is given in order to present the advantages.
