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.

来自奥本大学和伊利诺伊大学香槟分校的团队正在开发最先进的无线工程课程，并拥有丰富的实践经验。利用高级设计项目和大师项目，研究人员正在构建一个 4G 无线工程沙箱（4G Sandbox），其灵感来自于 Telcordia 开发的研究测试台。 一旦建成，4G 无线沙箱将成为奥本独特的本科无线工程学位课程的核心部分。编程作业和实验室项目将在沙盒上开发。 4G沙箱是由教职员工在研究生和本科生的协助下通过项目设计和建造的。 4G Sandbox 项目涉及奥本大学计算机科学与软件工程 (CSSE) 和电气与计算机工程 (ECE) 两个系的教职员工和学生，以及伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校电气与计算机工程系的一名教职员工和学生。 4G 沙盒是一种独特的基础设施，将为奥本新无线工程项目的学生提供综合实践体验。从无线工程课程毕业后，学生将熟悉 4G 无线电信系统，并能够在此类系统上创建、设计和实施新功能或应用程序。研究人员预计 4G 沙盒将成为一种模型，帮助全国许多其他教育工作者实施有意义且有用的实验室练习和与无线工程相关的项目。该 4G 沙盒项目将通过适合项目成熟度和完成程度的一切方式进行传播：教育会议和期刊论文、网站，可能还包括研讨会。改进后的课程将培养出具有实践经验的高技能劳动力。
