In the fall 2012 class, the syllabus was modified to state that the best 13 out of the 14 (six labs plus eight quizzes) were counted towards the final grade, most students selected to work on the lab so that they can drop a low grade in quizzes.The educational impact of these labs was best seen in the performance of the students on the linecoding lab. In that lab, they were required to research four line coding schemes such as bipolarNRZ and differential Manchester, then implement each one as a masked subsystem in Simulinkusing any method of their choice. This served as both a learning experience and an evaluation oftheir accumulated Simulink skills. The
