Once adigital filter is designed and its frequency responses are verified via MATLAB, the designedfilter will be implemented in real time using either a direct form I (see Figures 5 and 6) or adirect form II, as shown in Figure 7. As we can see, Lab 5 also introduces to the students analternative to implement an IIR filter in a direct form II, which is widely used in many fixed-point DSP. This topic will be studied in our advanced DSP course in detail. Applying the sameverification procedure depicted in Lab 3, students will evaluate the filter performance using thesignal generator and oscilloscope. These two labs foster students with a

But what we‟re recommending relates mainly to a holistic understanding of mechanicsprinciples, a qualitative understanding of „what affects something else‟, and an expanded graspof definitions. It includes additional structural design principles. The usual adjuration to„calculate problems first by hand‟ is re-interpreted as „take steps to validate and benchmark yourFEA approach‟.Of course the feeling that students need to master mechanics concepts in order to use FEAeffectively is not unusual. What distinguishes our perspective is the idea that FEA use needn‟t bedeferred until after the mechanics classes – introducing it early in the curriculum and using it

The instructor found that both populations struggled. Thenovice programmers struggled with mastering the basics of algorithmic thinking. Manydid not appreciate that they would not learn to code by simply watching the instructor inclass or copying code straight from the text. The more advanced programmers struggledwith the particulars of MATLAB, most especially the variable number of arguments tobuilt-in functions. They also brought the preconception that they already knew how toprogram and were therefore frustrated that what should have been an easy class turnedout to be a
