The evaluation data shows promising results inwhich students continue to apply their gained DSP knowledge to their career development. It isvery encouraging to teach the real-time DSP in the engineering technology program. Real-timeimplementations play a great part in our ECE and ECET programs, therefore, our real-time audioproject showed the significant benefit to students, since they could experience the theoreticalmath being applied and

Students will be brought to the microfabrication laboratory andshown basic manufacturing techniques of the microprocessors that have become acomponent of their every day life. Early exposure to engineering concepts will increasethe student’s understanding of the technical world around them. An example of a simpledemonstration is to have the students create a simple black and white computer generateddrawing.

. Page 22.883.6 Literature on women and engineering A primary concern of educators in engineering is the underrepresentation of women inthe math and science. Many explanations have been offered toward understanding the inequalityin representation of women in engineering fields of study, academic departments, and inengineering careers. Researchers in the social sciences argue against traditional explanations thatcite a paucity of the number of women with the ability to contribute to science to explain thecurrent low rate of women’s participation.4 Rather, they note that there is strong evidence thatsocialization barriers contributing to impaired self-confidence and low expectations regarding thepotential for
