American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 An Introductory Communication Systems Course with MATLAB/Simulink-Based Software-Defined Radio LaboratoryAbstractIn recent years, software-defined radio (SDR) has become increasingly popular in electrical andcomputer engineering education as a tool for teaching communication systems, networking, anddigital signal processing. Adoption of SDR has been enabled through decreasing hardware costs,mature and widely available software development tools, and educational resources aimed ateffectively utilizing SDR in undergraduate education. A survey of the current engineeringeducation literature shows that SDR technology has been widely adopted in advanced digitalcommunications and

theydeveloped the backstory of what students imagined their programming of a robot wouldsimulate. For example, one group of students imagined their robot to simulate car technologythat would sense children in the parking lot of a playground who the driver could not see, and thecar technology could stop the car before it struck a child. Over the second half of the semester asstudents worked on the project, students were to continually think about how their programscontributed to society or to solving social problems, how they incorporated perspectives ofpotential clients into the design, and what creativity and critical thinking they brought to theproject. Through these labs, students highlighted the importance of engineering design-thinkingto both
