During the first course in analog communication systems, thestudents are introduced to communication circuits, Fourier series, noise analysis, amplitude modulation,frequency modulation, transmission lines, and antennas. Along with the lecture material, the students meetweekly in the lab for experimentation. Since the fundamentals of analog communications have been inexistence for many years, there is a need to introduce current technology to students in this course. In this paper, an innovative use of current technology within analog communication systems ispresented. This paper describes a laboratory project which uses

Background In 1993 the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering set up the CollegeCurriculum Committee to examine whether a gap existed between its engineering education program andthe expectations of employers. The committee concluded there was indeed a gap, and identified theneeds to retain more freshmen and increase the number of women and minorities in engineering.Simultaneously, Sandra Courter and Katherine Sanders began a teaching improvement project with sixengineering faculty that would be Sanders’ Industrial Engineering Ph.D. dissertation project

Thegroup was to design the controls for the module. At the conclusion of the project, five programs were placed in a common programto run the complete system. Each group was given the operational specifications and theinput/output diagram. There was a video of each section placed on the course web site.So the groups could observe the operation of their section and of the entire system. There were design problems that resulted in burning out several motors. Themotors in the system will not tolerate being stalled. Electronic current limiting will be
