Real Time Communication Systems With PCsAbstractCommunication system classes have been traditionally taught with a lecture-only format.However, the proliferation of new concepts and algorithms in communication systems makes itincreasingly hard for students to master them only through mathematical derivations.Furthermore, without a hands-on demonstration of how the algorithm is used in real-lifeapplications, students without strong mathematical skills can become frustrated and generate aretention problem in EET/CET/EE programs. To overcome this problem, the theory taught inlecture has been complemented with laboratory experiments and class projects. However, manytraditional communication systems’ laboratory experiments are related to various

A fully adaptive controller will thenbe implemented using PC Matlab to allow for any of the plant parameters to vary and stillmaintain a suitable output. This concept can be used in Senior Design Project Course as well asin Master Programs in developing nations with limited resources.The popularity of the PID controller and the increased use of microprocessors have led to adigital version of the algorithm for use in

This is similar to Konvalina, Wileman and Stephens'(1983) finding that 228 students that completed an introductory computer science course hadsignificantly more mathematics background than the 153 that withdrew.Mathematics is always considered in these models because, "there is a belief that the conceptswhich a student has to comprehend in order to master mathematics problems are similar to thosefor programming. Mathematics aptitude is thus often a pre-requisite for acceptance intocomputer science" (Bryne & Lyons 2001, p. 51).
