single die, it is likely that the SoC design methodology will remain a majorfixture in industry for some years to come. As a result, it would be beneficial to provideundergraduate and graduate students with a representative SoC design experience so they canfamiliarize themselves with this important technology.The challenge of teaching modern SoC design, however, is that SoCs are incredibly complexdevices, incorporating complete software stacks, multiple processor cores, specialized high-performance on-chip interconnects, and a mix of proprietary and commercially available digitalintellectual property (IP) blocks that must all work perfectly in tandem to create a fullyfunctional system. The complexity is such that as of 2011, non-recurring chip

for Engineering Education, 2016 Communication Systems Theory for Undergraduate Students using MatlabAbstractCommunication theory is one of the subjects that is mathematically intensive and involvesmemorizing numerous equations. This paper describes the use of Matlab and Simulink inteaching communication theory for undergraduate students. The objective of this approach is toprovide an intuitive understanding of the theory without deeply sinking into derivations offormulae. Signal filtering is an inevitable step in every communication system. Generally, filtertheory is a standalone course offered to graduate level students. Using amplitude modulation as acase study, usage of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is discussed in this paper. Frequency

Additionally, potential employers of our EET graduates arein the automated manufacturing and testing sector of the industry; and that motivated the creationof an instrumentation and data acquisition course2 based on a thorough review of experiment-based data acquisition-supported instrumentation courses at other institutions3-6.

a disjointedthree-course sequence taught over the course of the first two years of the curriculum: MaterialsProcessing, Engineering Design Graphics, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Allthree courses are currently required, as the information they present is certainly all relevant andnecessary for graduating engineers. The manner in which it is presented, however, is in need ofimprovement. In reality, design engineers need to be able to combine and apply the skillslearned in these classes to generate complete designs. IMD will teach students the sameconcepts as the existing courses, only the content will be taught in the context of two designprojects spanning two 10-week quarters.

teaching difficult and abstract technical concepts that, at the same time, havevery real-life applications and implications. It is natural then to expect that the in-depth analysisand study involved in typical PBL experiments or assignments should enhance the understandingof such concepts.PBL typically involves some sort of real problem set-up and execution. In mechanics courses,this usually translates to assigning design project(s) to groups of students11,12,13. Such designprojects are by definition open-ended and have no unique answer or solution. The students thushave to invoke their imagination and try to integrate a host of previous classes (i.e. previousknowledge) in order to solve the problem at hand. This form of learning is considered
