and supporting software for teaching digitalsignal processing (DSP) concepts to undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students.The proposed approach creates an interactive learning environment based on mobile studiopedagogy. A series of studio projects have been developed, each of which requiresimplementation and testing of DSP algorithms on data received by student-owned SDRs. Datasources include signals of opportunity as well as instructor-generated test signals. The result is amobile learning environment in which students can visualize and apply abstract theoreticalconcepts, implement real-time algorithms, and rapidly test their designs using real-world data.IntroductionSoftware-defined radio (SDR) technology has transformed

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
