Microwave education is provided by universities on 5-year programs and Technological Educational Institutes (TEIs) on 4-year programs. This paper describes microwave engineering education within the Departments of Electronic Engineering (DoEEs) in TEIs, and especially within the one of TEI of Crete. After a short description of the electronic engineering education programs, the paper emphasizes on the present situation in microwave courses, which are evolving due to rapid changes in engineering practice. Factors, such as the knowledge explosion, the technological developments, the globalisation, the national and international competition, and the military and industrial infrastructure renewal, are responsible for a major shift in microwave and antenna education. Being determined to stop electronic engineering students from facing upon microwaves just as a difficult, theoretically demanding, and complex mathematics requiring topic, we have used modern computer modelling, simulation, and animation tools, in order to transform abstract electromagnetic-field theory into realistic images on screen.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/136-1418th International Conference “New Horizons in Industry, Business and Education Liodakis Georgios Λιοδακης Γεωργιος Ioannis O.
