Résumé:
Teaching mathematical intensive engineering based
courses to undergraduate Information Technology students poses
a great challenge to instructors. In this paper we provide an
efficient and effective method for teaching digital and analog
modulation to undergraduate students enrolled in an Information
Technology program which does not require a strong foundation
in mathematics as in the case of an Engineering program. The
used approach utilizes Matlab packages, Simulink, and
Communication Blockset to simulate analog and digital
modulation techniques avoiding the derivation of any
mathematics formulations and without coding. A survey that was
distributed to Information Technology students who were taught
using this approach showed a high level of satisfaction in
understanding all modulation concepts.
