Whence 582/682?
- Over one-third of engineering time is spent on
writing, editing, and preparing reports and oral
presentations. - A 1987--1991 survey of OSU Engineering alumni and
employers showed preparation mismatched to
importance on four topics - writing skills, oral skills, problem solving,
teamwork. - A.B.E.T. encouraged increasing both design
experience and teamwork.
EE582/682 was introduced in 1995

From Student Feedback
- More team time during regularly schedule hours
- 16 team hours
- 7 lecture hours
- 6 presentation hours
- More lab access
- 10 hours/week open lab (and by appointment)
- Lab shared with EE508
- Review meetings (weeks 2, 4 and 8)
- Peer evaluations
- Interim report serves as first iteration on the
final report - Clarity in schedule, expectations, and evaluation
criteria. - Link with EE582

Resources for Success
- Instructors office hours and lab hours (14
hours/week) - Communications Primer and two lectures
- Basics of digital communications
- Pointers to further information
- Web Links at course web page
- Starting points for RF components, antennas,
coding, PC I/O, FCC - Free-ware on-line and Matlab toolboxes
- Texts on reserve at SEL
- EE582 preparation

Hints for Success
- Start early
- Make good progress before other courses become
intense - For reporting, reserve time for editing
- Team-work
- Identify tasks and partition effort among team
members - Take advantage of course resources
- Test sub-systems and pay attention to interfaces
- In software, leave parameters as variables (for
easy mods) - Respect team-mates
- Have fun building a working device
