BackgroundProject-based / Problem-based learning (PBL) has been increasingly prevalent throughoutengineering curricula. Pedagogically, both approaches are similar: students work collaborativelyto address complex, ill-structured problems which reflect problems encountered in real lifewithin engineering. In this pedagogical approach, students engage in self-directed learning togather relevant knowledge and identify knowledge gaps; instructors serve as coaches to helpstudents identify necessary information to solve these problems. Problems are framed to fosterskills in knowledge acquisition and problem solving, as

They first design a digital clock using the VHDL hardwaredescription language to implement a hardware-based design. Then they use a soft-core processorwith a hardware timer and a general purpose input/output peripheral module to design aninterrupt driven microcontroller implementation of the same digital clock system. The studentsare asked to reflect on the design process and analyze the hardware

Despite the obvious pressures to meet the demands of atechnologically advanced and industrialized nation, engineering education at virtually all USinstitutions still follows a traditional model that dates back to the middle of the 20th Centurydesigned to emphasize theoretical content reflecting a postwar embrace of science byengineering programs.

. This is not entirely borne out by otherassessment results. As mentioned above, project completion rates are very high. However, thequality of the final programs varies considerably, though it is difficult to judge consistently. Webelieve that this variation in quality reflects variation in student understanding of programmingand problem solving and would indicate that students may be overly optimistic about theirabilities. Quiz results provide another possible point of comparison. We have collected quizresults for questions related to problem solving but have not yet completed a numerical analysisthat would provide a comparison with student self-assessment. Our first impression is thatstudents are overestimating their abilities. There appears

The students’ likelihood to employ the tutorials forfuture projects very strongly correlated to the usefulness of the tutorials for the exercises, as well.Where the tutorials apply to exercises, the students seem to believe that they would also beapplicable to other practical tasks. This very strong correlation suggests that exercises may berecognized as being practical and realistic if the tutorials’ applicability to them extends beyondthe classroom. If this were the case, then it will be important to ensure that exercises foradditional tutorials reflect real scenarios in radio engineering. One motivational aspect withinExpectancy-Value Theory is the idea of utility value, which serves to motivate learners to engagein learning

Hence, there are actually two data elements per sample, and with twicethe data, it is possible to obtain Hz of signal bandwidth while sampling at Hz. Note thatsince the time-based data is no longer real-valued, the resulting spectrum is no longer conjugatesymmetric such that the center frequency is not a center reflective point. The developer needsto be cognizant of this fact when processing signals, in particular, when isolating signals andapplying symmetric filters or converting the complex-valued signal into a real-valued (floating-point format).Signals used in SDR processing are normally complex in

The pupils willlikely not remember your words, but they will remember the interesting things you show them. b) Don’t Spam the PupilsThere is nothing more time consuming than written and verbal correspondence.

The infra-red receivers providedelectrical signals as receive-signal inputs to the nodes. Having wireless optical signals made theproject a bit more interesting to some students. However, the network-node implementationswere otherwise the same as they would have been with an electrical bus. It was decided that theadditional complexity and logistical difficulties in setting up the wireless optical networkoutweighed the positive aspects of having implemented a wireless network.Message transmission format: Each transmission for the message-exchange course
