Abstract

Instruction in communication and many other upper division EE courses have traditionally been limited to lecture sessions. With the proliferation of multimedia-capable platforms and software this situation has changed significantly. This paper documents our two year effort on the development of a MATLAB-based practicum for a senior level communication course. Detailed timetable and experimental material are presented. The second part of the paper describes integration of the web into the course content and comments on its impact
