This paper aims to discuss the design and development of Needham Model Based e-Module for Electromagnetic Field and Waves (EMT) course. This course is tough and students are facing problem to understand the extremely abstract concept in EMT. Without the strong support of the fundamental theories, students cannot perform in the practical class. This study was using ADDIE model as research methodology, but this paper will only discuss the three phases of ADDIE, namely analyze, design and development phases. The e-module was design and development using Needham Model which consist of five stages that are orientation, generation of idea restructuring of idea, application of idea, and reflection. The e-module was assessed by three experts from the area of EMT, Multimedia and pedagogy. The results of the assessment from 3 experts showed that the Needham Model-based e-module is in line with the subject content, the multimedia selection is suitable and the learning approach is good. The experts also accept the e-module at the high level of usability in teaching EMT. As a conclusion, the e-module is recommended to students enroll in EMT course.
