Description
Summary:	We explore the use of finite element method software as an enabling tool for an undergraduate electromagnetic curriculum. The software is used in upper level undergraduate courses taken after the basic electromagnetics courses. The advantages and disadvantages discovered during the implementation of this software are discussed and the driving factors for the design of "virtual labs" are introduced.
