SPEN, an NSF-sponsored effort, is based on four technologies: Connexions, interactive simulation tools,Quadbase question/answer system and OpenStax Tutor. It seeks to develop materials that alloweducators to break away from traditional textbook-lecture-homework education, and create a newframework based on an engaged community of educators, students, and industry

and supporting software for teaching digitalsignal processing (DSP) concepts to undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students.The proposed approach creates an interactive learning environment based on mobile studiopedagogy. A series of studio projects have been developed, each of which requiresimplementation and testing of DSP algorithms on data received by student-owned SDRs. Datasources include signals of opportunity as well as instructor-generated test signals. The result is amobile learning environment in which students can visualize and apply abstract theoreticalconcepts, implement real-time algorithms, and rapidly test their designs using real-world data.IntroductionSoftware-defined radio (SDR) technology has transformed

We faced the similarchallenges when trying to add lab activities to the course. After searching for some well-knowneducational technology companies[8-10], we found ourselves at an awkward situation, on one handwe don’t have enough fund to purchase advanced well-developed/equipped lab benches, on theother hand the ones within our budget don’t serve the learning objectives of the course well.There are many published papers in the field of renewable energy education[11-16] with some ofthem addressing the broad scope of renewable energy[11, 12, 14] and the others presenting labactivities for mechanical engineering or non-engineering
