andexperiment with communication algorithms through the writing of software. A diverse set ofSDR software frameworks and hardware platforms exists, many of which have been employed ineducational pursuits to individual advantage and disadvantage [5].The range of learning activities in which SDRs have been deployed mirrors the breadth of PBL.This has included use in guided laboratories for wireless communication subjects [6] up to largecapstone or senior design projects with a significant digital communications component [7]. Alsocommon are extra-curricular design competitions which aim to promote research or educationalobjectives by having teams from different institutions compete to design the best performingsystem for a common problem statement

project were committed to creating products that were not only effective but also socially responsible as well as economic for purchase having quick economic and investment paybacks.- 5: An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. Each MVP was developed by a team of three or four electrical and computer engineering students. The teams worked together to ensure that all aspects of the product, from design to construction, were integrated and aligned with their overall goals. Team members knew that they would be peer reviewed by one another based on the contribution

design competition revealed increasedsatisfaction amongst students, faculty, and industry partners. Following this, the TRUE modelwas adopted as part of the capstone design.In the summer of 2020, only two types of capstone projects were encouraged: (a) TRUEprojects and (b) Student-initiated projects that were reviewed and approved by a facultycommittee through a proposal system. By Spring 2023 (as of the writing of this work-in-progress paper), all capstone design projects in the department of EE have been converted tofit the TRUE project model, which means all capstone projects are real-world projects withindustry/community sponsors/partnerships. While this significant shift has been driven byanecdotal experiences shared by various stakeholders
