The students learn industrially relevant skills such asrapid design prototyping in Python and Android development of DSP applications in C++/Javafor computationally constrained mobile devices. The course advances in two phases: structuredlabs and team projects. In the first half of the course, a series of structured labs are provided toimplement and analyze real-time DSP systems that utilize fundamental DSP

Several of the key best practices are summarized below: • Utilization of common platforms when appropriate. A single mobile measurement platform is to be used throughout the curriculum in order to minimize costs for students and avoid requiring students to constantly learn new hardware platforms. • Utilization of a flipped lab environment as appropriate. With a mobile studio platform, the weekly lab is envisioned to serve as an open meeting where students can work on their experiments, ask questions, and demonstrate performance, but is no longer the sole work time for building and testing their projects.
