Electronic Communications courseThis paper discusses one of the projects in ElectronicCommunications II course which gives students the opportunity tothink and apply their knowledge in electronics, communicationsand mathematics to design, build and test frequency modulatedcommunication transmitter. The course is also designed to meetABET general criteria 3: Student Outcomes (b, d, e). Thetransmitter consists of four blocks. There is audio source blockwhich is a computer to provide the audio signal that needs to bemodulated, a frequency modulator circuit that is used to combineboth the audio and the high frequency carrier, a high frequencyoscillator circuit that generates above 88MHz and below 108MHzcarrier, a power amplifier to

Based ona free-body diagram, the system differential equation is expressed in (1). Using LaplaceTransform, this time-domain equation leads to a position-to-external force transfer functiongiven by equation (2). Once the transfer function is derived, a set of parameter values (m = 0.1kg, b = 1 N*s/m and k = 2 N/m) is used to obtain the system transfer function shown in (3

; however, there remains a lack of cohesiveengineering thrusts in primary and secondary school curricula [7]. This gap misses a hugeopportunity, as engineering design encourages students to critically think about importantsocietal challenges and link their work immediately to tangible outcomes which would promotecontinued interest in STEM. Hence, there is an emergent demand for (a) students who have hadsignificant, hands-on engineering and design experiences and (b) trained K-12 teachers who canimpart engineering and design principles to their students.
