Anyone familiar with the area ofSDR will know that it requires a heavy background in DSP and communication system theory.Because the CS undergraduates taking this course were unlikely to have any of this background,the first half of the course acts as a DSP and wireless communications primer, essentiallycondensing several courses that are normally taught at the graduate level within ECE.

MATLAB integrates computation, visualization andprogramming in an environment that is easy to learn and use.From the point of view of its usage, MATLAB is mainly an interactive system.

The lower percentage ofadmitted students could reflect selectivity in admissions and therefore a more committed studentbody; many times, this more often reflects whether the school is publicly or privately owned. Ahigh percentage of students on teaching assistantships may reflect an interest and involvement inteaching, but it may also show higher time demands on the graduate students.It appears from the analysis that our notions were not unreasonable.

Many tenure-track professors in the UnitedStates are evaluated heavily on their research contributions to the university, but for otheruniversities, quality instruction is a top priority.What is quality instruction? ASCE ExCEEd Teaching workshops define “good teaching” basedon the ExCEEd (Excellence in Civil Engineering Education) Teaching Model1. The six mainfocus areas of the teaching model include; structured organization, engaging presentation,enthusiasm, positive rapport with students, frequent assessment of student learning, andappropriate use of technology.

. Research can also take on the form of contacting otherIAC’s that may already have investigated similar problems. Finally, research may be acquired byformulating the problems, applying engineering fundamentals, generating outcomes and building adatabase to support theories.Students also learn the importance of economics. Students calculate the cost savings of theproposed changes and the cost of implementing each recommendation. Then the studentscalculate the simple payback. A recommendation is proposed only if it has an estimated paybackof less than 48 months. Ideas that do not meet the 48-month restriction are placed in a separatesection of the report. Frequently, this type of recommendation does not payback but is includedbecause it is the right

I find that the morefrequent problem is students using spreadsheets from previous years to do their computationoften with little understanding. This is a very common form of cheating. It is frequentlyaccompanied by plagiarized reports because the students do not adequately understand theimplications of the results. In my courses, these reports are submitted electronically. As a resultI have an extensive file of old reports for comparison when there are questions.Plagiarism is a serious problem on research reports as well as lab reports.

It is therefore expected that students should be reasonably proficient inpresenting their results in written form. It is clear from their narrative descriptions in the surveythat they have not necessarily internalized the entire data reporting process. Descriptions focusheavily on writing tasks and calculation tasks, but tend to forget the higher order tasks ofscientific and academic argument.
