Difficulties in teaching electromagnetism: an eight year experience at Pierre and Marie Curie University

Main Article Content

Abstract

We will begin by outlining the details of how electromagnetics are taught in the  electrical engineering program offered at Pierre and Marie Curie University (a French example) from the undergraduate to the Masters degree levels.  We will also discuss how our methods are and should be adapted to teach waves propagation without discouraging students.
