Abstract

Electromagnetic metamaterials, due to their unique electromagnetic regulation ability, have become important carriers of microwave technology education reform, and this article analyzes electromagnetic metamaterials in deepening understanding of electromagnetic wave mechanism, expanding vision of device design and strengthening ability of engineering practice in key value aspects. The article points out current deficiencies existing in teaching practice, including insufficient guarantee of experimental conditions, disconnection of content from frontier development, and weak theoretical foundation of students, which poses these challenges, thus prompting this article to propose optimized strategies, such as constructing layered and progressive experimental teaching system, introducing case teaching and virtual simulation methods, and strengthening integration of basic knowledge with frontier applications, with the goal being to improve quality of microwave technology education and cultivate innovative talents who can adapt to technological progress.
