Steven,

Of course you don’t see any wires, the instruments just arrived. Or they’re about to get shipped to the UMass lab. I assume the school has plenty of test leads, but students first need an introduction to the instruments’ operations and opportunities to read the manuals. That’s what smart engineers would do, right, RTDM?

“Only the really smart leading edge, bleeding edge engineers survive.”

What do you mean by “survive?” There are many ways to survive. Some engineers go into marketing or sales. Some go to law school or medical school. I once had an eye doctor with an EE degree. Does that mean he didn’t survive? Some engineers go into finance. Some even become editors who get through 20 years of layoffs without losing a job. Are we not survivors?
An applications engineer at NI went into marketing and is now CEO. Does that mean he didn’t survive?

“I don’t see any cables into any if the equipment.”
Could it be that the professor asked students to clean up the lab for the day?

I don’t see any cables into any if the equipment. intermodulation, interference, frequency sharing. Tackle some of the issues with limited bandwidth and the need for high data rates. Lots of challenges out there. Way different than cdma, amps, pioneer preference licenses. Only the really smart leading edge, bleeding edge engineers survive.
