Therefore fundamentalsof radio regulation are necessary for all academic, commercial and military users who want toutilize a frequency band width for wireless application. Furthermore radio frequency spectrum isalso an expensive resource, and it needs special attention. By teaching the current topic inwireless communications course, the future graduates of electrical and computer engineering willlearn to use the radio spectrum frequency efficiently and free from interferences. This paperstarts with background of radio regulation and spectrum efficiency and after those licensing,regulation and

However, traditional engineering education andengineering courses typically have not been conducive to ‘study abroad’ type environments.This paper presents a case study where a basic Manufacturing Systems course taught at a campusin the United States within an engineering program has been adapted for teaching as part of theSemester At Sea program. General guidelines for adapting such engineering courses for globalrelevance are also presented. Finally, we show that student learning and student satisfaction didnot suffer (but actually improved).BackgroundThe Semester At Sea Program operated by the Institute for
