easilyperceived directly. In addition, the vector relationship between the fields and theircorresponding responses in a medium is even harder to ‘see’. This non-intuitive nature of E&Mfields has been consistently one of the main obstacles for generations of engineering students intheir study of optics and E&M wave theories. On the other hand, optics and E&M wave theoriesare now becoming key components of core engineering knowledge as they have becomeincreasingly important in modern industries and electrical engineering practices. Optical fibernetworks, for example, are the backbone of the Internet and voice communications. Optical fibercommunications relies heavily on photonic and opto-electronic technologies.

The effectiveness of the new kitcould be confirmed by quantitative analysis, and also qualitatively in the class. It could also beseen that the students’ interests in the course were improved.However, further analyses would be required to confirm the effectiveness, since the new kit wasused in 2007 for the first time and only one term’s data was available.7.
