On the Use of the Computer for Teaching Communication Engineering

This paper reports on a pedagogic project on the use of the computer to aid in the teaching of communication engineering. The computer is integrated into the educational activities in several courses on different levels. The aim is to investigate the effect on the pedagogic process and to study how the computer could be most profitably used. An account is given of various computer activities with examples from courses on both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The project is evaluated from both an educational and an economical point of view.
