Development of Undergraduate Digital Signal Processing Laboratory For Electrical Engineering Majors at University of Nebraska

该项目通过将实际的数字信号处理实验室经验整合到课程中来满足改善数字信号处理本科教育的需要。通过将理论和实践结合起来，促进本科生对数字信号处理概念的学习。数字信号处理器实验室由十个基于微型计算机的数字信号处理器“实验室”组成，它们使用现成的计算机、插入式DSP协处理器板、模拟音频输入/输出系统以及商业和定制软件的组合组装而成。初级学生使用预先存在的软件进行实验和家庭作业，而中级和高级学生实际上是为DSP微处理器编写程序。与目前本科工程教育的情况不同，通过这种方式培训的学生直接接触到当前DSP芯片和其他硬件的能力和局限性，从而使他们能够设计和实现未来在这个国家的通信和电子行业的DSP应用。

This project addresses the need for improved undergraduate education in digital signal processing through the integration of practical DSP laboratory experience into the curriculum. Student learning of digital signal processing concepts at the undergraduate level is enhanced by introducing the theoretical and practical considerations together. The DSP Laboratory consists of ten microcomputer-based DSP "Labstations" assembled using off-the-shelf computers, plug-in DSP coprocessor boards, analog audio input/output systems, and a mix of commercial and custom software. Beginning students use pre-existing software for experiments and homework assignments, while intermediate and advanced students actually write programs for the DSP microprocessor. Unlike the present situation in undergraduate engineering education, the students trained in this manner are directly exposed to the capabilities and limitations of current DSP chips and other hardware, thereby allowing them to design and implement future DSP applications in the communications and electronics industries in this country.
