Teaching EM Modeling and Simulation as a Graduate-Level Course

This paper aims to discuss a novel way of teaching a graduate-level “Electromagnetic Modeling and Simulation” (EM-MODSIM) course. This is based on a list of tutorials published in the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, and MATLAB codes that have been provided for hands-on numerical experimentation.
