the Mathscript code generated by J-DSP for the design shown in Figure 5.The processing uses the Peak Picking block in J-DSP, which selects the highest components orfirst few components from the DFT coefficients based on the choice made. The reconstructedframes after peak picking can then be handled in LabVIEW to create output files with playbackfeatures. The model created in LabVIEW is illustrated in Figure 6. An assessment quiz was administered before (pre-quiz) and after (post-quiz) the hands-onlaboratory exercise. Some of the questions posed are itemized below:1.

-based demonstrations previously mentioned. This new board interconnects aTexas Instrument (TI) C6711 or C6713 DSP starter kit (DSK) to an Analog Devices (AD)quadrature modulator (AD9857). This modulator is capable of operating at up to 200 millionsamples per second (MS/s), with a resulting carrier or intermediate frequency of up to 80 MHz(i.e., 40% of the system’s sample frequency). An onboard 32-bit direct digital synthesizer (DDS)is used to generate the carrier waveform values. Baseband 14-bit in-phase and quadrature (I/Q)data are presented to the modulator, which can be programmed to interpolate the data at rates of4x to 252x. The AD9857 is interfaced to the DSK using an Altera Cyclone FPGA. The FPGAprovides queuing of the I/Q data, and the

At the time,each of the engineering technology programs (civil, electrical, and mechanical) had their ownfreshman course of two credits and didn’t really want to change. This change would add anadditional two credits to the curriculum which, under university guidelines, would mean that twocredits would have to be dropped elsewhere in the curriculum. Additionally, while the Page 11.835.2undergraduate engineering programs were four-year programs, with ninety percent of theirstudents starting as new freshman, the four year engineering technology

These four processes are used with the attitudes of introversion (I) and extraversion(E) and the orientations to the outside world as judgment (J) and perception (P).Isabel Myers developed the following work expectations for the eight preferences [2
