seems to be one that uses both types of exercises: non-real-time and real-time. Withregard to non-real-time exercises, it’s clear that interactive learning, exercises, and demonstrations to stu-dents using off-line methods are very useful for helping them to build an initial mental model.2–6 However,taking the next step by requiring students to make the transition to real-time DSP implementations has beenshown to cement a more complete understanding of DSP topics.7Since the late 1990’s, the authors of this paper have reported on proven DSP teaching methodologies,hardware and software solutions, and various DSP tools that have helped motivate both students and facultyto implement real-time DSP-based systems, and thereby improve education in
assignments. The tool takes a log file witha simple format as described above, which is the default for zyBooks (and hence immediately usable for2,000+ courses), but any auto-grader, commercial or custom, can have their log files auto-converted tothat format for importing to our tool as well. Assignment: Find max of three values Spec: Given three input integer values, output the max value. If input is 5, 9, 3, output is 9. --------------- Student1's submission (S1): #include using namespace std; int main() { int x, y, z; cin >> x >> y >> z; if ((x > y) && (x > z)) cout << x; else if ((y > x) && (y > z)) cout << y; else cout
in which students evaluated the efficacy of UI design(s) byapplying commonly reference usability heuristics and redesigning the UI(s) for optimal usability.Performing well in the report assignment, students found it and the module useful in expandingtheir critical thinking skills, building their roles as researchers and designers, preparing them forinternships and jobs, and creating portfolio artifacts. In completing this report, students gainedlifelong skills in understanding design and its impact on the user, society, and the economy.References[1] “User Interface Design Basics.” [Online].

The regularly used technical skills are committed to memory and external information resources are not needed in these cases. More complex problems and problems with multiple possible solution paths for which they have to evaluate the quality of the different solution paths will create difficulties for the individual.

Using theMELearn ELMS, a marked improvement in student learning and mastery of the fundamentalconcepts, as measured by exam scores, has been documented for three engineering courses. Mostrecently, a new feature was added to the system that allows students to enter appropriate equationsas answers. The problems were designed to encourage student familiarity with identifyingappropriate equations and using a system of equations to solve for various dependent variables, anexample being, deriving an equation for thermal efficiency of complex systems.References[1] R.

This microcontroller allows for both fixed-point and floatingpoint DSP.The board itself does not include audio resources and the K65’s DAC is only 12-bits. Becauseaudio is the primary application used in the DSP labs, another board (i.e., a CODEC board) isrequired to provide these features.In-House designed CODEC boardThe CODEC board is based on Texas Instrument’s TLV320AIC3007 Stereo Audio CODEC.This CODEC has many configuration options and requires a low chip count for basic audioinputs and outputs as can be seen in Figure 1.

looked to compare male and femalestudents throughout the essay, as there seemed to be a difference between the two genders. Theyfound that males are less likely to ask for help when needed and that female students had ahigher “trigger point” (the grade at which they decided to seek out SI). [3] With the use of theirfindings, they were able to further improve the SI in their class.A study in 2008 by T. Bowles, A. McCoy, and S. Bates focused on if the student will graduateon time instead of the student’s grade. They believe that it is more important to look at long-termoutcomes, such as graduation rates, rather than just course performance. [4] They had 3,905people fill out their surveys and they found that SI attendance increases the probability
usually limited by theacquisition rate of the data acquisition card and the computing power of the PC, the basicfunctionality can compare with that of more expensive equipment. This lower speed ofoperation and basic functionality is adequate for educational laboratory exercises.In this case, the novel VSA system provides a user interface that has much of the basicfunctionality of standard hardware VSA’s, but with the limitation that bandwidth is constrainedby the 1.25 MSa/s sampling rate of the DAQ. The system provides real-time plots of I/Qconstellation as well as signal spectrum displays. The user interface is described as well asexample laboratory experiments, where students get hands-on experience with a variety ofsignals including BPSK, QPSK
