The unexpected relevance of generalized gravity to electrical engineering may seem surprising, given that relativity was historically viewed as a complex rather than a straightforward element in engineering. However, when the Fermat Principle is taken into account, the connection between these two fields becomes less astonishing. This principle states that electromagnetic energy within a medium follows the shortest optical paths available. behaving like geodesics. Moreover, it provides mathematical frameworks for fields within curved geometries. Introducing problem-based learning, abbreviated as PBL, into Slovenian graduate programs focusing on electrical technology has yielded remarkable outcomes. Comparing to traditional methods, students demonstrated higher levels of understanding, as evidenced by improved exam scores. Both faculty and students, as indicated by survey responses, expressed high satisfaction with PBL. In particular, students highlighted that PBL enhanced their confidence and problem-solving skills.
