“…2. The main part of the project description provided to students in 2008 is given below: "You are required to design a spectrum analyser that will take an audio input signal x(t) and decompose it into N frequency bands x 1 [n] … x N [n]. The audio signal will be sampled at a rate of f s ; the centre frequencies and bandwidths of the band-pass filters are detailed in an appendix.…”

Project based learning (PBL) has become more popular due to its student centered nature of learning compared to traditional modes of learning. However, it is not always feasible to implement it due to several reasons. At the University of New South Wales, the PBL mode was trialled on an introductory Digital Signal Processing course for two consecutive years and the evaluation was previously reported. After that, based on the experience of PBL implementation, some elements of PBL have been incorporated with traditional mode of teaching to enhance the traditional mode and that enhanced traditional mode have been continued. The experience of enhancing the traditional mode with components derived from PBL, particularly the inclusion of conceptual design presentation and laboratory tests, are promising. This paper presents the task description of PBL and experience of how some of the components of PBL can be utilized to enhance the traditional mode of teaching.

“…Today many products are embedded with DSP microprocessors and therefore engineers require a thorough understanding and depth of knowledge of DSP. The desire of engineers for education in DSP is acknowledged in [1] and the need for a DSP course in a tertiary electrical engineering degree program is emphasized in [2].…”

The objective of this paper is to suggest a more rigorous and complete DSP curriculum that will meet corporate needs to produce "industry ready" DSP engineers from the ranks of students with undergraduate degrees. A study of many Digital Signal Processing (DSP) curriculums across the world was conducted to determine the level of DSP theory, application, and lab exercise activity that was currently being offered to engineering students. Curriculum guidelines on DSP from the ACM/IEEE Joint Task Force on Computer Engineering Education were examined to help guide the development of an "ideal" DSP curriculum.

“…Over the past decade there has been tremendous growth in the use of modern digital signal processors (DSPs) in control and other applications. While courses offered in electrical and computer engineering cover such topics as mobile and digital communications, [1][2][3][4][5][6] and image and sound encoding and decoding, few courses focus on the use of DSP in real-time control of electrical machinery. On the other hand, there is a growing need in industry for engineers who can perform control design and system integration for various applications in motor control.…”

In this paper, a test bench was developed for teaching purposes to enhance power electronics and real time control of a brushless d.c. motor. Particular emphasis was placed on PWM techniques and theoretical signal generation using a MATLAB/Simulink environment and experimentally with a DSP programming kit. First, a model was developed in MATLAB/Simulink derived from electrical and mechanical equations for the 120° mode. The control strategies implemented involved two PWM techniques, namely soft and hard switching. The system was built in such a way that students are able to carry out modelling and confirm their results through the test bench using these techniques. The approach used has been effective in generating student satisfaction. Improvements in student learning are evident with regard to the drive control applications, either as a variable speed drive or in embedded systems.
