However, little isknown about the effectiveness of such techniques in engineering courses with multipleprerequisites in mathematics and physics. Preliminary data from this study demonstrate thatafter implementing transparent assignments in Electrical Engineering Fundamentals, 61.3% ofstudents reported being more confident of their ability to

Advances ingeneration (5G) cellular networks - including millimeter software defined radio (SDR) [2] allow instructors to usewave transmission, ultra-wideband wireless less expensive equipment to develop new educationalcommunications, and multiple-input-single-output (MISO) laboratories. For example, some of our teachingantennas – helped develop laboratory experiments for laboratories at Texas A&M University use USB donglesundergraduate engineering students. The experiments not (e.g., DVB-T RTL USB [3]) that act as an SDR receiver,only teach students about 5G technologies, but also how to operating between 50 and 2200 MHz.use real-time spectrum

As one of the best deep learning structures,Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is highly automated and requires little priorknowledge. Also, a customized CNN can be quickly built without a large database, if apre-trained network is provided. These advantages make CNN suitable for undergraduateresearch.
