Abstract :
This paper describes an innovative new integrated lecture/laboratory course for electrical engineering juniors. The course, designed as the second course in a year-long sequence in electromagnetics, brings to life fundamental principles of electromagnetics through study of the circuit, signal, and system concepts used in today´s wireless communication systems. The course is taught in a new lab whose state-of-the-art fabrication, measurement, and computing facilities provide hands-on experience in design, measurement, analysis, and simulation of circuits and systems
