These projects provide the students involved withhands-on Satcom experience in solving real-world industrial problems. In the first project,one EET student is working with two electrical engineering (EE) students as interdisciplinaryteammates to test the link margin effects of a Satcom receiver due to environmentalconditions such as rain, snow, ice, etc. In the second project, two EET students are alsoteamed with two EE students to test bit error rates for a newly-designed Satcom receiver.

possible that greater interaction with their peers, coupled with improved interaction with their teacher, mayprovide for an increased improvement in our low-performing students. Neha et al. [9] already pointed out that toolarge a gap in performance levels of students can potentially hinder student involvement and interaction in peergroup settings. It may be of value to replace or shuffle the high-performance students in the center aisles so thatstudents with the lowest performance record are not paired with the students possessing the highest.With the shortage of students opting to study science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) type courses, wehope to follow up on this work to determine if strategic seating can be utilized to improve a
