Section 2532 Implementing a Satellite Earth Station – A Student Project Deborah K. van Alphen, Sharlene Katz California State University, NorthridgeI. IntroductionSince traditional communications engineering courses are largely theoretical and provide littlehands-on experience, they often appear dry and impractical to students. Even in lab sections,students may be asked to design and construct simple modulators and demodulators, but theyrarely have the opportunity to participate in the front-end design decisions necessary for acomplete communication system. Consequently, they often leave

The act ofdesigning and testing the device allows students the opportunity to analyze the conversionprocess using material learned in class and provides a valuable hands-on experience dealing withthe physical phenomena involved (i.e. friction, heat loss, sudden expansion, etc). The project hasbeen administered at multiple universities with students participating in small teams andfeedback gathered through post-project surveys.
