gratification. Rapper Kanye Westunderscores higher education as being unnecessary to financial success in his “School Spirit Skit 2” onhis College Dropout CD. Although not all rap music caters to the belief that higher education is futile,many rappers flaunt a lifestyle that appears to be more glamorous and more financially successful thanthat of the 9-5 career tract. Because many of the poorer youths (and their families) feel disenfranchised,many of these African-Americans become attracted to this lifestyle in an effort to raise their self-esteem,obtain power, admiration and respect from others, and be noticed by women. Rapper Ludacris states, It’s a fact. The gold back then, and the diamonds now…we wear that to get women. That’s all

Engineers, like most professionals, are interested in solving real world problems. Theory ofcourse in an important foundation, but an important way to get the attention of students is tofocus on practical cases. Case studies taught in the curriculum must include scenarios thatengineers are most likely to encounter in their own careers. As with law and medicine,engineering is a learned profession. As a profession, engineering constantly involves expertjudgment and discretion in the performance of services. Engineers are expected to use theireducation and

Thus, topics are not presented in the context ofrealistic applications. While such an approach may be ideal for preparing motivated upper-levelstudents for future careers in signal processing, it is not suitable for students with no priorexperience in the field. The signal processing laboratory being developed at Duke University ismodeled, in part, after existing successful signal processing laboratories, but introduces twoinnovative features. First, the new laboratory will be integrated into multiple courses from thesophomore to senior level, rather than a single course. Second, the laboratory exercises will
