If theproposal was rejected as unsuccessful, the students could make the necessary correctionsto their proposal and resubmit it. Reasons for rejecting proposals were varied andincluded: incomplete proposals, inadequate information, unrealistic proposals, etc.Project PlanUpon having their proposal accepted, the team received a communication indicating theyneeded to prepare and submit a master plan. Recognizing that the success or failure of aproject often rests in the quality of the project plan, the detailed plan must show how

Simple: The interface should be very simple to use and should provide common defaults wherever possible so that students who have yet to master signal or system concepts are not discouraged or confused. Flexible: The interface should be flexible and configurable enough to be of continued use after students have mastered basic concepts.

Society’s ability to address these global challenges requires the technicalknowledge of scientists and engineers with master’ s or doctoral degrees 1. These globalchallenges will not be addressed solely by Ph.D.s in the academy but also by Ph.D.s in business,government, and non-profit organizations.

Humanists claim that the state-of-the-art scientificknowledge techniques that engineers learn in their college curriculum have a limited shelf life.

We found that relatively few universities have such a track. One example is theUniversity of Colorado – Boulder, which has a “Wireless System Master of Science Track” [2].The track requires students to take one course from each of the five core areas plus someelectives. The courses are chosen from different disciplines. The five core areas are Standardsand Regulatory Landscape, Wireless Systems, Networking, Software, and a Focus Course.
