This project will foster illustration, interpretation, and integration of theoretical concepts in communication, signal processing, and control systems through the use of a modern computer laboratory. Undergraduate students will be exposed early to a state-of-the-art networked computing system, the X- Window environment, and several high-level computational tools. The hands-on laboratory experiments in an introductory lab course will develop in the sophomore students the ability to simulate waveforms, noise, simple filters, and basic linear systems. To enhance the pivotal course in signal and system theory, the junior level students will experiment with the numerical simulation of a broad variety of signals and systems. In the laboratory courses associated with the senior level courses, students will experiment with the simulation and design of realistic communication, control, and signal processing systems. In addition, the laboratory will be an important resource for senior design projects. This laboratory will provide students with better insight into the fundamental concepts of communication and control. At the same time, it will better prepare students for both modern industry and graduate school. Equipment to be purchased includes: 26 X- Window terminals, additional processors, memory and disk drive for the existing Sparc-class server, and networking hardware. The ease of use of this equipment by undergraduate students will be achieved by developing an optimized X-Window graphical user interface, course materials, class projects, an electronic library of problems and solutions, and by providing the students with an introduction to modern computing and simulation software within the first laboratory course.

该项目将通过使用现代计算机实验室来促进通信、信号处理和控制系统中理论概念的说明、解释和集成。 本科生将尽早接触最先进的网络计算系统、X-Window 环境和几种高级计算工具。 介绍性实验室课程中的实践实验室实验将培养大二学生模拟波形、噪声、简单滤波器和基本线性系统的能力。 为了加强信号和系统理论的关键课程，初级学生将尝试对各种信号和系统进行数值模拟。 在与高级课程相关的实验室课程中，学生将尝试现实通信、控制和信号处理系统的仿真和设计。 此外，该实验室将成为高级设计项目的重要资源。 该实验室将使学生更好地了解通信和控制的基本概念。 同时，它将帮助学生更好地为现代工业和研究生院做好准备。 需要购买的设备包括：26 个 X-Window 终端、额外的处理器、用于现有 Sparc 级服务器的内存和磁盘驱动器以及网络硬件。 通过开发优化的 X-Window 图形用户界面、课程材料、课堂项目、问题和解决方案的电子库，以及在第一门实验室课程中向学生介绍现代计算和模拟软件，将实现本科生使用该设备的简便性。
