Agreat reading material for students to understand the procedures and requirements of the mostimportant subjective and objective speech quality measurements is the paper “speech qualityassessment” by Loizou [17].Speech intelligibility is best measured subjectively by a panel of listeners, who will try toidentify words, phrases or sentences. One of the traditional tests is the modified rhyme test(MRT). It is designed by linguistic specialists in 1960’s and still used by audio and speechresearchers today [18]. MRT asks listeners to listen and select one of six words, half of whichdiffering by the initial consonants, and another half differing by the final initial consonants.

, was not ready in the beginning of the semester. After the computer setup,hardware and software installation, and other issues were solved, we only had less than twomonths left to do the lab projects and design project. With their senior design, other courses, andpart-time jobs, the students didn’t have time to work on the projects outside the dedicated labsessions.Another comment by the students is that some training on GUI design and S-function inMATLAB will be helpful. They did some work on GUI design with the GUIDE component ofMATLAB. However, they didn’t complete the integration of the GUIs with their systemsbecause they didn’t have time to figure out how to display multiple dynamic trajectories (forteam A) or static shapes together with

“design” is emphasized in this course. As a matter of fact the juniorelectronics courses (ELE342 and ELE343) constituting prerequisites for this course alsoemphasize design but at a smaller scale and using discrete BJT and off-the-shelf ICs rather thanat the chip level using CMOS technology. This emphasis on “design” in our electronics sequence Page 14.888.2of courses has been implemented starting with an NSF grant to establish and develop a“Computer-Integrated-Electronics” Laboratory (C.I.E.
