-levelunderstanding (i.e., breadth) of a modern digital communications device while focusing onseveral key aspects (i.e., depth) in the design and implementation of these systems. However,learning how to use an actual software-defined radio platform for prototyping digitalcommunication systems is often a lengthy, tedious, and complicated process. As a result, thistechnology is usually not employed within the undergraduate curriculum due to the relativelyshort duration of a typical undergraduate course, e.g., 7-14 weeks. Conversely, if the laboratoryexperiments and SDR modules have been pre-packaged for the students enrolled in the course,this would allow for a controlled exposure to SDR experimentation while simultaneouslyenabling the hands-on learning

However like Jimmy, Kimmy’s response to this question seems to also fit with herearlier assertion that communication is an important engineering skill; it could be for this reasonthat Kimmy seeks to involve herself in socially oriented extracurricular activities.Through Jimmy’s and Kimmy’s responses, we can begin to see how a student’s expectationsmight play an important role in

Students should actively participate in their ethics education,and it should not be separate from their engineering education. It must be relocated “from theperiphery of the curriculum to its core by empowering students to investigate ethics in the waysthat are most meaningful to them” [20]. A proven methodology for doing so is a “modified versionof the Critical Incident Technique (CIT), which asks students to locate an ethical problem in afilm, text, or TV program, and then briefly to describe the problem, analyze its ethical dimensions,and indicate

To ensure quality of learning, mini-project-basedteaching and learning activities must be aligned with, and supported by, authentic assessmentactivities.
