In spite of the severe financial crisis in higher educationand in the state, his salary was increased more than 50 percent and contract extended to 7 years.The administration stated that this was due to market conditions and the monies would comefrom the athletic department, not from state funding.

Using Inexpensive Hardware and Software Tools to Teach Software Defined Radio Abstract Signal processing topics such as software defined radio are more easily taught by using demonstra- tions and laboratory experiences that pique the students’ interest. This paper describes a new, inexpensive software defined radio educational platform based upon M ATLAB and the Texas Instruments C6713 dig- ital signal processing starter kit. We describe the various hardware and software issues and discuss how such a platform can be used in the classroom.1 INTRODUCTIONSoftware defined radio (SDR) is a topic that is becoming

among engineering undergraduate students, EEI aims to assist students tobegin consciously developing their emotional intelligence, and to be more fully prepared for theirprofessional and personal lives. One of our main goals is to help students to bring awareness oftheir own emotions to their life experiences, and to develop the skills to recognize and work withthe emotions of others.As current research on emotional intelligence (EI) has demonstrated, EI is a significant indicatorof personal and professional success. Further, both industry and academia recognize that the bestengineering students will have well-developed inter- and intrapersonal skills in addition to theirtechnical skills.

The instructor actsas a scribe, writing down their summarized comments. I have used this assignment in mytechnical communication class with the third question. It usually results in one of the bestdiscussions we have all semester. The procedure gives students time to think about theirresponses and to use writing as a means of recalling stored information.
