We recently merged a few capstone design teams with the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) student competitions. The outcome and benefit of the change are clear. The students are more motivatedand willing to adopt new technologies in their project courses. Through competitions, students learned how tocomplete the project in the context of system.

The signalprocessing techniques are similar to those used in radar and sonar echolocation systems.5 Thesoftware performs all of the measurements with no guesswork left to the user. Figure 1.

The infusion of hands-onlaboratory exercises has been used over the last three years of teaching this course withtremendous success. For Fall 2008, the course consisted of a two-hour lecture and one three-hourlaboratory session each week, with the course credit hours remaining at three. The combinedlecture/lab offering has been assisted by generous contributions from the USF faculty whodeveloped the WAMI Lab and RF/Microwave Circuits courses, which have been adapted ashardware and software lab experiences for the Baylor course and used in Fall 2008, and byAgilent Technologies [5] which donated Advanced Design System

The power line carrier communications allowed the utility customer display unitto be highly portable, requiring only an outlet to get both power and communications. From our educational perspective, this project was highly desirable because it utilized all the students inthe class on a single system. It required a wide range of electrical engineering knowledge, so all students madesignificant contributions to the success of the design effort. The class organized into three teams, eachresponsible for a particular portion of the project. This project’s size affords a unique educational opportunityfor the students to experience multi-team coordination
