Abstract
This article aims to develop a simulation program using GUI-MATLAB in telecommunication engineering course. The instruments used in this research are the GUI-MATLAB based simulation program for signal processing subject including 1) basic signal, 2) modulation signal, and 3) voice signal. The sample group consists of 30 students who registered in the Principle of Communication System course at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna. The research results are as follows; 1) the result of evaluation of developed GUI-MATLAB simulation program assessed by 5 experts, shows that the quality of the simulation program is more appropriate, 2) the efficiency of the GUI-MATLAB simulation program is consistent with the standard criteria of Meguigans’s formula (equaled to 1.10), and 3) the students’ satisfaction is at high level (mean = 4.45, S.D. = 0.33). Therefore, the developed simulation program can be applied and developed in the teaching of telecommunication engineering and related as well.
