The system renders several promising features: portable, low-cost, simple, and compact in size, to name a few. In this paper, we first introduce the components and the mechanism of the RF measurement system. We then present a laboratory exercise that designed for an antenna radiation pattern study using the developed system. Detailed lab procedures and results collected from a recent upper-division communication systems course in an EET program are provided. The lab results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed system. Additional assessment data from students’ feedback further

One of the first initiatives of the college was tostrive to have a common first year among all its engineering programs (Aeronautical,Civil, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, and Software Engineering). Having a commonyear would allow first year engineering students to switch degrees with no impact to theirschedule.One course used by most engineering majors was “CS223 Computer Programming forEngineers” which was originally taught in FORTRAN then migrated to C in the mid90’s. The course taught up to structures in C and was basically a C programming coursetaught by predominantly adjunct professors. The
