Abstract
Project-Based Learning (PBL) can significantly motivate students to learn engineering concepts. This paper reports on the experience at Princess Sumaya University for Technology of utilizing PBL to enhance the teaching of wireless communication course. In the project, students are asked to collect real world measurements of cellular towers signal power. The data is then plotted versus distance for different environments. Students are asked to share their measurements and compare them to expected theoretically predicted values using known path loss models. This paper describes the project and the feedback collected from students.
