Section 2532 Implementing a Satellite Earth Station – A Student Project Deborah K. van Alphen, Sharlene Katz California State University, NorthridgeI. IntroductionSince traditional communications engineering courses are largely theoretical and provide littlehands-on experience, they often appear dry and impractical to students. Even in lab sections,students may be asked to design and construct simple modulators and demodulators, but theyrarely have the opportunity to participate in the front-end design decisions necessary for acomplete communication system. Consequently, they often leave

professional designers inengineering, visual and performing arts, architecture, and science were six key themesabout the experience of designing. These themes, which were discussed in theexperiences of all ten participants in this study, included getting starting on a design,collaboration as a key aspect, the importance of a strong content base, the ever-changingnature of the design space, the role of context, and the challenge and satisfaction ofseeing a design task from beginning to end.IntroductionDesign tasks have been classified as specific types of problems, 1, 2 and the designapproach has been labeled as a specialized way to view and complete a problem3.

At this point, we must emphasize that more data is required to reflect the definiteimpacts of this project on engineering and science students. So far, we have not launched theproject among a wide number of students. We intend to use this pilot project in Spring of 2010.As of now, only limited numbers of students have actually utilized the IVLP system and, overall,we have received positive feedback from them. In two cases, our students have reported minorsoftware bugs which we have corrected. However, in the past several semesters we offered ourstudents the option of

When they’re askingquestions, explaining things thoroughly, and keeping the class interactive, it’s so much more enjoyable.That kind of teaching makes me feel like I’m part of the learning process, and it motivates me to stayinvolved.

The existingexperiments have become dated and in many cases have devolved to demonstrations by theteaching assistants, with little hands on experimentation by the students. This has resulted inseverely decreased student satisfaction with the labs. An extensive redesign was performed todevelop hands-on, open ended lab experiments that allowed students increased control over theoutcome of the experiments. Pre-lab homework assignments require students to develop labprocedures, research sensor specifications, and develop virtual instruments in NationalInstruments’ LabView.

In this fashion, hardware control is easily integrated into a Windowsapplication. Furthermore, OLE is a great educational tool because it modularizes the applicationat hand. This allows a number of students of differing skill levels to take part in programdevelopment.With using OLE as a software building tool, development, management, and enhancement ofsoftware is drastically simplified. Likewise, software is less prone to errors and less time is spentin development.1. IntroductionThis paper is organized into six sections.

Many engineering programs face the challenge ofrecruiting and retaining a diverse student body [25], [34], [35]. Also, the engineering curriculumis a hands-on and practical curriculum that leaves faculty with even less time and resources foradvising.When considering these components, advocates for professional academic advisors highlight thatacademic advisors are not divided among teaching, research, and service commitments.
