The complexity of teaching electromagnetics and transmission line analysis concepts presents significant challenges for 1-year long postgraduate taught (PGT) students, who often engage with the subject primarily through theoretical instruction. This paper examines the value of embedding non-assessed experiential learning opportunities to reinforce knowledge and build technical skills in transmission line theory, practical terminations, and radio frequency (RF) design. This intervention presents reflections on the effectiveness of experiential learning in reinforcing student knowledge and confidence. The success of this approach has been evaluated through indirect performance indicators, such as improvements in coursework performance, lab engagement levels, and qualitative feedback from instructors. This approach can be adopted by other Higher Education providers to enhance students' learning experience by incorporating practical activities that strengthen the connection between theory and practice.
