Thispreliminary study focuses on electrostatics content in a junior level electromagnetism course inan Electrical Engineering (EE) program. Students find electromagnetism to be one of the mostdifficult courses in the upper-level EE curriculum. Electromagnetics is difficult for students tolearn due to the required competency with vector calculus. Topics are especially challenging toteach without tangible applications [3].The authors created an active learning environment within a junior-level Electromagneticscourse by utilizing in-class tutorials with an electronic response system. The intent was toincrease student’s ability and confidence in performing vector calculus required to

Thereare several reasons cited in literature4-6 for this achievement gap. Some of these reasons are socio-economic status, strength of curriculum and disparity between school districts. In addition to thesestructural challenges, student engagement and motivation play an important role in learning.

these codes were written [4, 5]. Yarmus [18] and Russell [17] articulate the first line ofthinking. While there are differences in the tones of their arguments, both argue that engineers’ professional societies should use their members’ technical integrity and exemplary ethics as ameans of raising the status and stature of the profession. Unfortunately, by framing engineers’professional integrity as an unwavering platform upon which enhanced occupational statusshould be advocated, they leave little space for critique or improvement in this realm.Hill et al. and Andrews adopt the second line of reasoning.
