CRCD/EI: Combined Research Curriculum Development in Signal Processing for Communications

通信信号处理（SP-COM）是一个专注于与下一代数字通信系统的基础设施，硬件和算法相关的研究领域。CRCD/EI项目的主要目标是通过让本科生沉浸在最先进的通信和信号处理研究中，为他们提供科学和调查经验。实现这一目标的方法采用的课程策略包括：a）在现有的四个初级和高级课程中融入以研究为导向的模块，B）提供一个新的高级本科课程，名为“信号处理和通信研究导论”，c）将高级顶点项目纳入PI正在进行的研究活动，（d）建立大一和大二学生暑期研究营沿着拓展计划。该项目将通过在本科课程中持续的研究暴露来灌输科学探究的过程，从而影响学生的学习。几个SP-COM的研究课题，如那些处理信道均衡，源和信道编码，沉浸在课程的框架内，这个CRCD项目。CRCD的课程和单元至少包括一个独立的计算机实验室经验。 ASU的Java-DSP（J-DSP）基于Web的仿真环境用于这些实验室。学生可以在网上访问J-DSP，进行计算机实验练习，并提交电子实验报告。重要的教学基础和研究的课程过渡的战略形成与in-structional专家的协助。传播和评估战略包括：每年一次的《公约》和《公约》研讨会、《公约》和《公约》互动网站、在研究和教育刊物上发表文章、通过工业伙伴进行工业传播。

Signal Processing for Communications (SP-COM) is an area that focuses on re-search associated with the infrastructure, hardware, and algorithms of future generation digital communications systems. The primary objective of the CRCD/EI project is to provide scientific and investigative experiences to under-graduate students by immersing them into state-of-the-art communications and signal processing research. The methods employed to accomplish this ob-jective use curriculum strategies that include: a) immersing research-oriented modules in four existing junior and senior level classes, b) offering a new senior level undergraduate course entitled "Introduction to signal processing and communications research," c) the integration of senior-level capstone projects in the ongoing research activities of the PIs, d) the institution of summer research freshman and sophomore camps along with an outreach program. The project will impact student learning by instilling the process of scientific inquiry through a continuous research exposure in the undergraduate curriculum. Several SP-COM research topics, such as those dealing with channel equaliza-tion, source and channel coding, are immersed in courses within the framework of this CRCD project. CRCD curriculum courses and modules involve at least one self-contained computer laboratory experience. ASU's Java-DSP (J-DSP) web-based simulation environment is used for these laboratories. Students can access J-DSP on the web, perform computer laboratory exercises, and submit electronic lab reports. Significant pedagogical foundations and strategies for the transition of research to the curriculum are formed with the assistance of in-structional specialists. Dissemination and assessment strategies include: an annual CRCD workshop, a CRCD interactive web site, publications in research and education journals, industrial dissemination through industry partners.
