Application of Generative AI in Experimental Teaching of Communication Principles

Generative AI, a cutting-edge technology, involves artificial intelligence models capable of producing new data or contents based on task inputs. The Principles of Communications, a required pivotal course for aspiring telecommunication engineers, leverages communication system experiments to bridge theoretical concepts with real-world applications. This paper delves into the utilization of Generative AI in designing communication system experiments from both the teacher's and students' perspectives. Specifically, we explore how teachers can employ Generative AI to craft experiment prompts and guide ChatGPT to generate desired lab results. The methodologies outlined in this paper are not limited to telecommunication courses but can be extrapolated to other experimental disciplines, offering a valuable resource for teachers and students.
