Given the wide use of fiber optic technology in industry and high-end consumer electronics, the use of optical fiber should be more widely taught; however, limited available resources in the provision of laboratory hardware has increasingly marginalized the educational quality of fiber optic communications courses. This paper presents two models for implementing fiber optic communications laboratories...
Communications laboratories for electrical engineering undergraduates typically require that students perform practical experiments and document findings as part of their knowledge and skills development. Laboratory experiments are usually designed to support and reinforce theories presented in the classroom and foster independent thinking; however, the capital cost of equipment needed to sustain...
This paper presents a comparison analysis between two engineering software platforms, Matlab/Simulink & PSIM, which are used as major educational tools in the teaching of power electronics and electrical drive courses, in additional to conducted research in these fields. The comparison analysis is based on studying the design simplicity of the module, time consumed in building of the module, accuracy,...
Engineering education today is undergoing unprecedented array of challenges, especially in the teaching and learning process. Among other challenges in this area students now require multiple stimuli, they have very low tolerance for monotonous static content, and they are highly mobile. To address some of these challenges, the authors have conducted a pilot study with Learner Agent Objects (LAO)...
A remote instrumentation model used to perform modern RF and digital communications experiments over the internet is presented. The setup allows for highly cost effective and pedagogically rigorous mechanism of instructions for students in situations where traditional laboratory equipment is either unavailable or at a premium cost. In the model, a switch matrix is used to eliminate the need for students...
