When the students knew what they had to do fortheir entire semester, they were able to plan better around their other activities.This led to lower number of student asking for extensions on due dates anddeadlines. Also, the students loved that the course was very organized, structuredand made available to them early.III. Feedback from StudentsTable 2 shows the feedback from the students about the redesigned class in Fall2013. 14 students completed the feedback in 2012 and 29 students providedfeedback on 2013.

Some courses may not require a full-scale laboratory, but a few SDR-based projectswill benefit the students tremendously. The software nature of the SDR-based laboratoryplatform makes it possible to build the laboratories in modules, and

With more sturdy (and expensive) water bottles, thisproblem was alleviated. Implementation cost is primarily the water bottles: this could benegligible if the instructor plans ahead and saves bottles from a single manufacturer. Otherwise, Page 24.1107.8cost should be on the order of five dollars, depending on class size.

Based on our conflicting results, and our small femalesample size (n=12), we conclude there was not enough data collected to appropriately drawmeaningful conclusions for this engineering and technology course.

ProjectsThe projects can be divided into three groups: introductory, software, and software/hardware.Introductory projects are given to familiarize students with the programming environment andthe language. They also give students a good idea of what is expected and allow them to plan forlater projects. Software projects are mostly centered on electrical engineering concepts such asthe fast Fourier transform, convolution, digital filters, or the statistical processing of largeamounts of data. The projects which involve both software and hardware make use of theWindows phone programming interface, internally constructed hardware, or the FEZ boards5which provide a C# interface to a high speed ARM processor.
