AB  -                  Using Active Learning in Teaching ElectromagneticsActive learning (AL) is the process of engaging students in activities that require them toreflect on ideas and how they are using those ideas. The focus of AL is on studentlearning rather than faculty teaching. Research in a variety of disciplines has identifiedthe effectiveness of active learning approaches in learner retention of content, improvedstudent attitudes and increased student achievement. What is defined as Active Learningand research-based outcomes of implementing it in teaching will be presented.The Electromagnetics course at South Dakota State University (SDSU) is a four-creditjunior-level course. This highly abstract course is a good candidate for using AL inteaching since student engagement and motivation would be of high need and valuethroughout the course. The use of AL in teaching this class at SDSU engaged students intheir learning through the use of an interactive visualization software tool, use of theStudents Response System (clickers), use of a tablet PC, in-class solving problems,leading discussions in the classroom, and other approaches.The readiness of the students, their level of engagement, challenges and limited successof these approaches are identified through peer observations, surveys, results of thestudent assessment tool (IDEA) with added questions and will be presented. In addition,tips from personal experience and best practices on implementing AL in teachingElectromagnetics will also be presented.
