A team from Auburn University and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is developing a state-of-the-art curriculum in wireless engineering with a strong hands-on experience. Using senior design projects and master projects, the investigators are building a 4G wireless engineering sandbox (4G Sandbox) inspired by a research testbed developed at Telcordia. Once built, the 4G wireless sandbox will be a center piece of Auburn's unique undergraduate wireless engineering degree program. Programming assignments and laboratory projects will be developed on the sandbox. The 4G Sandbox is designed and built by faculty members assisted by graduate and undergraduate students through projects. The 4G Sandbox project involves faculty and students from two departments at Auburn University - Computer Science and Software Engi-neering (CSSE) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and one faculty member and students in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineer-ing from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The 4G Sandbox is a unique infrastructure that will offer an integrated hands-on experience to our students in the new wireless engineering program at Auburn. After graduating from the wireless engineering program, a student will be familiar with 4G wire-less telecommunications systems and will be able to create, design, and imple-ment new features or applications on such systems. The investigators expect the 4G Sandbox to become a model that will help many other educators in the nation to implement meaningful and helpful laboratory exercises and projects related to wireless engineering. This 4G Sandbox project will be disseminated through all means appropriate to the degree of maturity and completion of the project: education conference and journal papers, web site, and possibly a workshop. The improved curriculum will produce a highly skilled workforce with a hands-on experience.

奥本大学和伊利诺伊大学Urbana-Champaign大学的一个团队正在开发一门最先进的无线工程课程，并具有丰富的动手体验。调查人员使用高级设计项目和大师项目，建造一个4G无线工程沙箱（4G沙箱），其灵感来自Telcordia开发的研究测试台。 一旦建造，4G无线沙箱将是奥本独特的本科无线工程学位计划的中心部分。编程任务和实验室项目将在沙盒上开发。 4G沙箱是由由研究生和本科生通过项目协助的教职员工设计和建造的。 4G沙箱项目涉及来自奥本大学两个系的教职员工 - 计算机科学和软件工程（CSSE），电气和计算机工程（ECE），以及来自伊利诺伊大学Urbana-Champaign的伊利诺伊大学电气和计算机工程师的一名教职员工和学生。 4G沙箱是一个独特的基础设施，将为我们在奥本新的无线工程计划中的学生提供综合的动手体验。从无线工程计划毕业后，学生将熟悉4G无线电信系统，并能够在此类系统上创建，设计和启动新功能或应用程序。调查人员希望4G沙箱成为一个模型，将帮助全国许多其他教育者实施有意义且有用的实验室练习以及与无线工程有关的项目。这个4G沙盒项目将通过适合该项目的成熟度和完成程度的所有方式进行分散：教育会议和期刊论文，网站，可能是研讨会。改进的课程将通过动手体验产生高技能的劳动力。
