Integration of Computational Resources into the Engineering Classroom

这是一项加速奖励，其目标是开发一套在现代台式计算机或工作站上进行的练习和项目，以显着改善工程教育过程。本文的研究将集中在信号处理的工程学科领域，但所开发的技术将在工程教育中具有广泛的适用性。来自五所不同大学的六位经验丰富的教师将在这项研究中合作，组织、编写、测试和制作一本用于正常信号处理课程的练习书。这些练习将以一种完全不同的方式使用计算机，利用计算机的数字和图形功能以及现代交互式软件系统作为改进工程教育方法的基础。

This is an expedited award the goal of which is the development of a set of exercises and projects to be conducted on a modern desk-top computer or workstation to significantly improve the engineering educational process. The proposed research will focus in the engineering subject area of signal processing, but the techniques that could be developed will have broad applicability in engineering education. Six highly experienced faculty members at five different universities will collaborate in this research to organize, write, test, and produce a book of exercises for use with a normal signal processing course. These exercises will use the computer in a fundamentally different way to utilize the numerical and graphical power of the computer together with a modern interactive software system as the basis of an improve engineering educational methodology.
