Compared to a previous version of the lab where a kit radio wasassembled, students in the new lab appear to gain a more thorough understanding of radiooperation. They certainly have a greater appreciation of PSpice.Based on the performance of the radios, results of design projects, and student feedback, it isanticipated that this lab will continue to evolve and improve.References1.

The theoretical result and the result fromct_conv overlap. f1(t) is the impulse response of a series RC circuit with a time constant of 1 s(the output is the voltage across the capacitor). The same result can be obtained from circuitsimulation software. Having the students obtain the result from circuit simulation helps toremind them that convolution provides useful results in the real world. The result from a circuitsimulation program (LTSpice4) is shown in Figure 7.

new laboratory assignments. Based on improvement in student grades andpositive feedback from students in a survey, the laboratory activities seem to enhanceengagement and learning. The laboratory exercises helped the students develop a practicalunderstanding of the abstract concepts of signals and systems, including time domain, frequencydomain, and S domain.To help students develop a way to relate the abstract equations of signals and systems toconcepts they have already learned, some of these activities should be based on phenomena theyalready are familiar with, such as electrical circuits. By having the students make measurements,tables, and graphs, they can start to visualize the relations between familiar phenomena, and newtheory and

essentially a programming class, the importance of the PLC was limited due to the “softwareonly” approach to the lab. Further, the original curriculum was developed around a procedurallywritten lab. While it was acceptable to use procedural instructions in some instances for learningactivities, it generally did not support conceptual learning of the material. This was articulatedwell by Eiriksdottir et al. who stated that: “Specific instructions help initial performance,whereas more general instructions, requiring problem solving, help learning and transfer.”2Finally, because the system was originally developed in the mid 1990’s, the hardware andsoftware were both out of date and difficult to support. Not only had the limited maintenanceresulted in

they didn’t seem applicable to ourapplication, plus their computational and resource requirements were thought to be too extensive.Implementing the entire TCP/IP protocol stack was out of the question, as our system had limitedcomputing resources that needed to be dedicated to the sensor tasks. However, selectiveimplementation of portion(s) of the stack could be appropriate 3. Since the TCP/IP protocol usesSLIP for data transmission over serial lines, it seemed reasonable to investigate how SLIPhandled the task.It turns out that SLIP is similar to our original approach of terminating a packet with an LF+CRpair. However, SLIP does not assume that the packet contains only printable ASCII characters.SLIP uses a single termination character (not
