implementation becomes rapidly complex as the length ofthe code word and the uncoded message increase. As a result, most coding theory uses a (7,4)code in which the code word has seven bits of which four bits contain the information.2 The coderesults in a manageable number of 128 code words of which only 16 form valid codes. Theredundancy is used for error correction. Now suppose a (15,7) code is used allowing 32,768possible code words for which only 128 are valid information codes. This complexity can bereduced by using several functions in the Matlab Communications Toolbox, providing a uniquelearning opportunity for the engineering technology student.INTRODUCTION2Channel coding refers to the class of signal transformations designed to improve

Usability referred to the ease ofuse during lectures without disturbing the flow of instruction and more importantly studying theimpact of incorporating such a technology in a traditional lecture-based classroom on students.As a result, during the Fall 2011 term two separate classes were selected to conduct the study.Class 1 was a Freshmen Engineering Clinic I which is

This assignment was incorporated into the seminar as either a 20-hour or40-hour project depending upon how many modules of the course the senior year student wasotherwise engaged with. The Action Technologies® workflow model was used assuring the customer’sconditions of satisfaction would be met. This novel module allowed students to learn the four key stepsof: preparation, negotiation, performance and acceptance. The 14 ECE seniors involved in this pilotchose from nearly 20 available projects and got to decide which projects would best apply their skillsetsas electrical or computer engineering

The MQP is similar to senior design projects implemented at otheruniversities, focusing specifically on developing engineering solutions to technical problems; assuch, student teams are generally major-specific.The IQP is in many ways the cornerstone of the WPI Plan; whereas in 1970 there were otherschools that had capstone design and humanities projects as a part of their STEM curriculum, thefaculty observed a need for a project in which engineering skills would be built in a societalcontext. This was due primarily to the failure of post-war technological progress to deliver on theutopian promises of the 1950s: despite incredible scientific breakthroughs

In the lab portion of the course students were providedwith a menu of three design projects, asked to rate their interest in the three projects, and splitinto small teams according to these ratings. In a given semester the three projects centered on atheme such as water balloon launching technology or small vehicle technology. The averageinterest rating for all projects was rated as 3.58-3.65 on a 1-5 Likert scale while the averageinterest rating of
