ElectromagneticsElectromagnetics is a rather challenging topic for many physics and engineering students, as theelectric and magnetic fields are invisible and the mathematics is very complicated. Therefore,without the help of CAD software, students often feel that this abstract theory has littleconnection with the real world. As a result, students tend to memorize a few equations, butcannot apply them in practical problems. There are many advanced EM field simulation softwarepackages available, and we adopted QuickFieldTM, which is very easy to use and its limitation in2D simulation is not an issue for this class.The first project assigned in this course was in the area of electrostatics, and the topic wascapacitive sensor. As the capacitance depends both on the geometry

One cannotdirectly relate findings from an afterschool program to those of in-classroom settings, which isproblematic for this study. However, this research study focused on teacher knowledge and theafterschool setting still required the teacher to present new ideas to students and then work withthem as they designed their final projects.
