The project is developing an undergraduate course on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) that includes laboratory experiments. The course presents the most important DSP algorithms appropriate for an undergraduate course and requires no extensive Hardware Description Language (HDL) or DSP knowledge as a prerequisite. Students are learning to develop DSP systems in real world settings with real world problems and state-of-the-art equipment and tools. The investigators are making all material, including online quizzes and tests, available through the Blackboard learning system. This web-based access enables a continuous information flow between students and the material developers, and it facilitates the use and evaluation of the material by other instructors and industrial advisors. By providing students with a relevant "hands-on" design experience using state-of-the-art equipment in this very important emerging field, the investigators hope to enhance the retention of the large number students from underrepresented populations in their program. Outside evaluators from academia and from industry are ensuring that the appropriate topic, tools, and procedures are being covered. Students are evaluating the material using the University's course evaluation process and student learning is being evaluated using student exit surveys, focus group evaluations, and alumni surveys. The investigators are planning to disseminate their work via journal publications and major conferences presentations. In addition, faculty members from four other institutions are committed to use the material in courses at their institutions.

该项目正在开发一个本科课程的数字信号处理（DSP）与现场可编程门阵列（FPGA），包括实验室实验。该课程介绍了适合本科课程的最重要的DSP算法，不需要广泛的硬件描述语言（HDL）或DSP知识作为先决条件。学生将学习在真实的世界环境中使用真实的世界问题和最先进的设备和工具开发DSP系统。调查人员正在通过黑板学习系统提供所有材料，包括在线测验和测试。 这种基于网络的访问使学生和材料开发人员之间的信息流持续不断，它促进了其他教师和工业顾问对材料的使用和评估。 通过在这个非常重要的新兴领域使用最先进的设备为学生提供相关的“动手”设计经验，研究人员希望提高来自代表性不足的人群的大量学生在他们的项目中的保留率。 来自学术界和工业界的外部评估人员正在确保涵盖适当的主题、工具和程序。学生正在使用大学的课程评估过程和学生学习评估材料正在使用学生退出调查，焦点小组评估和校友调查。调查人员正计划通过期刊出版物和主要会议介绍来传播他们的工作。 此外，来自其他四个机构的教员承诺在其机构的课程中使用该材料。
