Department of Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energy, Oregon Institute of Technology Abstract This paper focuses on the implementation of a laboratory section for an undergraduate course in engineering electromagnetics. This fall, both campuses of the Oregon Institute of Technology adopted a laboratory section for EE 341: Electricity & Magnetism with Transmission lines, a required class for all electrical engineering students. This paper will discuss the content of those labs, outline the challenges we faced when altering a well-established class to include a laboratory section, and discuss the outcomes that we have seen so far. Engineering electromagnetics is a required class within the majority of electrical engineering programs, yet the class is typically offered without a laboratory component. We have seen that including a laboratory component has positive effects like helping students better visualize and understand the concepts covered in this class. Given that electromagnetics is fundamental to modern technology, we believe a meaningful, hands-on experience in this area is crucial for the success of undergraduate electrical engineering students.
