of the junior year courses, electromagnetics has become one of the focuses of the REDproject. It has been noted by several researchers3-6 that students have an opinion that introductoryelectromagnetics is a difficult subject, and teachers also find it a difficult subject to teach. Theyattribute the difficulty to three main factors: 1) the use of vector mathematics which somestudents can view as rather abstract, 2) introductory classes frequently only cover very idealizedsituations which do not have true physical applications, and 3) realistic examples in a laboratorysetting are difficult to create. Dinov, Sanchez, and Christou7 also point out that classes whichrely heavily on mathematics tend to miss other learning modalities such as visual

IntroductionDistance learning is considered to be one of the most challenging areas in the field ofengineering; students who have no or limited access to on-campus facilities, and little to no face-to-face contact with academic staff and fellow students face the risk of not being able to engagein course-work material and can feel isolated. Due to the size and the high cost of the laboratoryequipment, it is often impractical and unaffordable for universities to provide hands-onlaboratory experiences to their distance learners using actual laboratory equipment1.

Two foundational assumptions run through our efforts: (1) theincorporation of active learning modalities supports increased student learning andstudent success; and (2) the willingness to incorporate these changes in teaching byfaculty requires both a supportive local departmental culture as well engagement byupper level administrators. Thus we support faculty changes in their use of research-based instructional techniques focusing on STEM student learning and success in lowerdivision courses and

Many initial reviews and studies compared homework to no homework learning2, 3 andmany of these studies are inconclusive.
