Boost Student Comprehension in Telecoms with Interactive 5G Labs.
Teaching complex 5G and telecommunications concepts can be challenging - students often struggle to connect theory with real-world applications. Traditional lecture-based methods may fail to engage, leaving gaps in understanding critical technologies like OFDM, channel coding, and signal modulation.
The Telecommunications Instructional Modelling System (TIMS) bridges this gap by transforming abstract concepts into tangible, hands-on experiments. Designed for EE/ECE/EET educators, TIMS enables students to model 5G systems, measure real signals, and validate theory through interactive labs - boosting engagement and retention.
