We define sixlearning stages that assimilate the standardization process and identify key learning objectivesfor each. We discuss our experiences when employing the proposed methodology at BarcelonaTech in Spain, compare the approach with an equivalent class at Virginia Tech in the US andmake the following observations: (1) The complexity of standards need to be abstracted andpresented in a form suitable for a given class. (2) Educating about cellular communicationsstandards is most effective when students are immersed

The feedback information was collected through the class survey. Basedon the assessment and class survey, most students liked the proposed procedure and believed themethod was practical. The assessment based on the quiz also showed the grades with theproposed procedure were significantly improved. This paper presents the practical graphicalprocedure for drawing the diagrams as well as the results of the class survey and the assessment.1.

face significant challenges that prevent broadernational success [1-3]. Educators have increasingly realized that relying solely on traditionallectures is ineffective for engaging a new generation increasingly connected to the digital world,and have therefore initiated numerous efforts to integrate technology into the teaching-learningprocess [4, 5]. In addition to this, there is an increasing recognition that learning complexengineering concepts can benefit from more in-depth clarity pre-requisites than previouslyunderstood [6]. Teaching-learning models that blend technology with traditional lectures to ensurequality of instruction have been reported promising for engaged and effective learning of higherlevel skills [7, 8].

The testing effect is based on the premise that learning isimproved when students engage with newly acquired information by challenging themselves toanswer questions about the content instead of using other means of interacting with the content,such as rereading a text. The testing effect has been established in laboratory research studies[1]. To translate this finding into educational practice, classroom research studies [2]-[6] aim todefine the conditions for which the testing effect remains robust in authentic classroom settings.In the classroom domain, a testing effect
