Abstract

This paper presents educational software based on MATLAB and a Graphical User Interface (GUI). This educational software consists of three subjects; electromagnetic, communication engineering and power engineering. MATLAB m-files are developed based on the requirements in the subjects. Then, its GUI are developed and integrated with the m-files for ease of use. In this software, user is able to visualize the subjects from the plots, graphs, and images and obtain the answer automatically. User also does not need to install MATLAB in his/her Personal Computer (PC) because this software is developed with standalone program which allow user to use the software without installing Matlab. This software can be used by lecturers as teaching aid and self-learning materials among students, thus, help user to achieve better understanding on electrical engineering subjects.  

Keywords: MATLAB, Graphical User Interface (GUI), Electromagnetic, Communication Engineering, Power Engineering, Educational Tool.
