Finally, we conclude with asummary of our findings and recommendations for other communication experiments.PreliminariesRecommended Hardware and Development EnvironmentThere is a wide selection of SDR hardware available, with many good choices for the purposespresented herein10. Given the requirements of the projects, the recommended choice is theHackRF One open-source SDR, along with ANT500 antenna11. The HackRF One offers half-duplex transceiver capability, sampling rates up to 20 MSPS, operating frequency of 1 MHz to 6GHz, USB powered connection, SMA RF connection with programmable gain, and

on co-ed groupprojects that showed that boys tend to take on more valued project roles and control access totools and materials, while girls end up in administrative roles [15], [16]. To evaluate the successof a single sex approach, researchers have examined single-sex after school programs and specialgirls-only programs within co-ed schools. For example, Fadigan and Hammrich [17] examined amuseum program for girls and showed that the program created a space for girls that supported apositive sense of self.On the other hand, there are practitioners and researchers that critique the idea of separating girlsby saying, for example, that girls need, eventually, to work in mixed spaces therefore it is best tofocus on their ability to navigate

This ability would enable the student tocommunicate ideas in subsequent design classes with peers on teams as well as contribute insome work settings. Learning to follow engineering graphic conventions was the base leveloutcome. Many of these conventions can be enacted algorithmically, much as a CAD systemcan automatically generate orthographic projections given

This struggling included fundamentalprerequisite issues on drawing the correct free-body diagrams in three dimensions, connectingthe loads with their respective normal and shear stresses, and resolving the correct directions andstress distributions for combining the calculated stresses.The issue is particularly important because the topic is a fundamental building block for MachineDesign and any solid design project that engineers tackle. Furthermore, the issue was particularlydeemed

mechanism for ensuring course consistency was the course andsubordinate lesson objectives, as approved by the department program director. In all cases, theseobjectives were not altered, either to increase or reduce content.Using lesson objectives as the guiding parameter, lesson restructuring followed a generallyconsistent pattern. First, any lessons under the 40 class format that were “drop periods” (used toprovide students with compensatory time) were eliminated from the schedule. Additionally,lessons used as working group sessions for larger projects and laboratories were rolled intoadjacent lessons that presented new material. It should be noted that this action reduced workinggroup session time from 55 minutes to a shortened period as allowed

Nonetheless,the fast development and updates on the area of RTOS may cause the knowledge learned fromone specific RTOS outdated in some time and not applicable to another RTOS.Traditionally, teaching and learning RTOS are implemented in the following ways. First, weteach the students the design principles of RTOS and show them a ready-to use commercialRTOS. We call this a “top-down” approach. The benefit is that students will be able toimmediately deploy that specific RTOS [1].
