other members of the community; an example of this hazard is interferenceover aeronautical channels during the landing of airplanes in an airport. Therefore fundamentalsof radio regulation are necessary for all academic, commercial and military users who want toutilize a frequency band width for wireless application. Furthermore radio frequency spectrum isalso an expensive resource, and it needs special attention. By teaching the current topic inwireless communications course, the future graduates of electrical and computer engineering willlearn to use the radio spectrum frequency efficiently and free from interferences. This paperstarts with background of radio regulation and spectrum efficiency and after those licensing,regulation and

. This was in contrast to France where in 1795 the École Polytechniquehad been established and had set a model for the scientific education of engineers in Europeand America.” [3, p 1: see also 4]. The great civic (red brick) universities were founded fromthe middle of the century. Even so the number of engineers produced through theirdepartments of engineering was small.1.4. In parallel during the nineteenth century there evolved a system of voluntary elementaryeducation that had begun in the eighteenth century. It had a religious orientation andparticular mention should be made of the Sunday School Movement that had as its objectivethe teaching of children from the poorer classes to read the Bible. But from 1795 someschools for industry were
