theymay reconstruct classroom demonstrations, and do much more.In the demonstrations, frequency-response plots, pole/zero maps, and time-domain responseplots in both domains are easily created and modified, and are programmatically linked. Theplots are also annotated in a variety of ways to help emphasize relationships among them. All ofthe plots have interactive capability, and display much more information than simple line graphs.Making changes in any of the plots automatically causes appropriate changes to be made in allthe other plots. This removes from the instructor the burden of creating, managing, and updatinginterrelated plots.This method can be used, for example, to enhance discussions of (1) zero-order-hold and bilineartransformations

Finally, the paperlooks at the student response to the project and the creativity of their submissions.1. IntroductionMany students have difficulty when encountering computer organization for the first time. Thisis due partly to the unfamiliarity of the material, but is also because computer architecture as adiscipline is different from the fields that students encountered earlier. Unlike calculus,computer design has little underlying theoretical foundation. Instead, from its beginnings,computer design has always been a process of trial and error, with modern computers beingdesigned the way they are because “it works best”, rather

On the surface,this sounds like a simply step, but in reality, it was not. Significant time and effort wasput into the determination of the criteria. There are multiple courses that can benefit fromthis decision, so all of them needed to be represented. In the end, the follow criteria wereestablished for making the decision: Table 1 – Criteria Serviceability

The successful use of computer algebra systems does not implythat mathematical skills are no longer at a premium: such skills are important as ever.However, computer algebra systems may remove the need for those poorly understoodmathematical techniques which are practiced and taught simply because they serve asuseful tools. The usefulness of this approach will be evaluated by direct observation andformative assessment, and feedback from other educators will be highly appreciated.1.

This batch processing of real world radio signals allows for a tremendous amount of classroom flexibility in the discussion of software defined radio topics.1 IntroductionThere is a great deal of interest in the DSP algorithms necessary to demodulate communicationssignals. While a number of existing courses cover these topics, the use of real world communi-cations signals to develop and test these algorithms can be problematic.

challenging economic times, it is somewhat reassuring to know that some unstable financial accounts are actually a good thing!1 INTRODUCTIONIt is widely known that even in the classroom “first impressions” are long lasting. Given thisfact, we believe that the first impressions that our students develop related to either discrete-timesignals and systems (DTSS) or digital signal processing (DSP) should be both memorable andinspirational. Pedagogically, it also makes considerable sense during a topic’s introduction togive a complete overview of that material before continuing on into the details. This approach toteaching has wide ranging consequences. Specifically it can, • Create a framework upon which the course is based • Encourage
