annual earnings. According to U.S. Bureau ofLabor Statistics, the overall employment of electrical and electronics engineers is projected togrow 3 percent from 2019 to 2029, about as fast as the average for all occupations 1. However,minorities continue to be underrepresented in science and engineering fields as reported by theNational Science Board, Science & Engineering Indicators 2. Hence, it is essential to enhanceundergraduate EE education in historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) and minorityserving institutes (MSI) to achieve the goal of diversifying and improving minority students’interests and academic achievements.Over the last two decades, the modern EE systems have changed significantly due to theincreased complexity

anyfrequency between 25 MHz – 1700 MHz, and receive at an instantaneous bandwidth up to 2MHz (reliably). The complex baseband samples are sent to the host computer over USB 2.0,where they can be processed using DSP, such as in GNU Radio. The RTL-SDR can be used forreceiving signals like FM, ADS-B, and RDS, but it is extremely limited because it cannot gohigh enough to reach the 2.4 GHz ISM band, and the 2 MHz bandwidth limit means studentscould not see “full” signals that were wider than 2 MHz, which is a fraction of most modernsignals. For example, most LTE signals have bandwidths of 10 or 20 MHz.For the second time teaching CMSC498X, in 2019, we were able to provide each student with aPlutoSDR, a $150 SDR made by Analog Devices that can both receive
