. Inaddition, students must take a systems approach to designing the overall SDR transceiver, whichprovides them with exposure to this important aspect of project development. In this paper, we discuss the impetus for the course, the course’s goals and outcomes, thematerial covered, and the integration of the material with a hands-on laboratory component ofthe course. We finish with some recommendations for others seeking to develop and deliver ahands-on SDR course.2. Course Impetus An SDR is a communications system comprised of general-purpose reconfigurablecomponents that are programmed to define its operational characteristics [Mitola, 1995;Buracchini, 2000]. For instance, bandwidth and modulation (SSB, CW, AM, FM, FSK, PSK,QPSK, etc

The student follows these steps, often without significant initiative or forethought, and achieves a successful result. This results in a relatively smooth-running

Using a commerciallyavailable stereo imaging system, students can acquire an image of a wave surface andaccurately measure its characteristics. System configuration and data analysis methodsare discussed. Data generated using this method can be verified using traditional wavegauges, and used for a variety of student project or laboratory experiments. We haveused this system for a laboratory investigation in an Introduction to Computer Visioncourse, and as an experimental platform for independent study by Ocean Engineeringstudents.
