The Albert Nerken School of Engineering of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art requests $63,780 to develop a Wireless Communications Systems Design Laboratory. This will make available facilities for undergraduate electrical engineering students to undertake design projects in wireless systems such as cellular telephony, personal communications systems PCS), indoor and outdoor radio, and mobile communications. The laboratory will be used by undergraduate students in their Junior and Senior years. In the Junior year, students will be introduced to the analog and digital circuitry and the instrumentation used in wireless communications system design in well-defined projects of limited scope. In the Senior year, students will work in engineering teams on year-long design projects. The students will be involved with all aspects of engineering design, including preparatory theoretical studies and literature searches, hardware, software and system design, project management and scheduling, component selection and ordering, and written and oral presentation and demonstration, all under the guidance and oversight of an expert faculty advisor. Cooper Union requests equipment consisting of test and measurement systems which accommodate the highly complex signal formats employed in wireless communications systems, and which can simulate and measure imperfections in the signal generation and reception and in the communication channel. In addition, the College requests equipment to establish a modular experimentation system based upon the VME bus standard, controllable by SUN workstations. This experimentation system will enable students to concentrate on only certain components and subsystems within a complete functioning wireless communications system. Students will be able to undertake projects in wireless communications, a field fundamental to maintaining this nation's global competitiveness.

库珀科学与艺术促进联盟的阿尔伯特·纳肯工程学院申请63,780美元用于开发无线通信系统设计实验室。这将为电气工程专业的本科生提供设施，使他们能够从事无线系统的设计项目，如蜂窝电话、个人通信系统（PCS）、室内和室外无线电以及移动通信。该实验室将供大三和大四的本科生使用。在大三时，学生将会在有限范围的明确定义的项目中，学习无线通信系统设计中所使用的模拟和数字电路及仪器。在大四，学生们将在工程团队中进行为期一年的设计项目。学生将参与工程设计的各个方面，包括预备理论研究和文献检索，硬件，软件和系统设计，项目管理和调度，组件选择和订购，书面和口头陈述和演示，所有这些都在专家指导老师的指导和监督下。库柏联合要求由测试和测量系统组成的设备，以适应无线通信系统中采用的高度复杂的信号格式，并且可以模拟和测量信号产生和接收以及通信信道中的缺陷。此外，学院要求设备建立基于VME总线标准的模块化实验系统，由SUN工作站控制。该实验系统将使学生能够专注于完整功能的无线通信系统中的某些组件和子系统。学生将能够从事无线通信领域的项目，这是维持美国全球竞争力的基础领域。
