Simulating experiments using a Comsol application for teaching scientific research methods

For universities it is important to teach the principles of scientific methods as soon as possible. However, in case of performing experiments, students need to have some knowledge and skills before start doing measurements. In this case, Comsol can be helpfully by simulating the experiments before actual doing it. Especially the Comsol App can be very suitable because it provides a way for students playing with virtual experiments without almost any prior software (Comsol) experience. It is concluded that Comsol is very suitable for this type of education
