Anultrasound range sensor was used (just for the proof-of-concept since this would obviously notwork in a space environment) with two reaction control jets to maintain the proper distance. Acomputer simulation was developed so that various control algorithms could be tested.

the following reasons: • Business and engineering students tend to study differently. Engineering students at Penn State Behrend tend to work on assignments in a familiar laboratory, whereas the business students tend to work on assignments at home. • The schedules of business and engineering students make it difficult for teams to find a time for everyone to meet. Additionally, many students work 20-40 hours per week at outside jobs, further complicating the coordination of mutually convenient out of class meetings. • The skill sets of business and engineering students are different, so communication issues become more important. For example, the engineering students may need to spend more time

While MATLAB simulations areuseful for teaching the basic theory, many of these concepts are more easily taught toundergraduates if appropriate real-time demonstrations and laboratory experiences are available. The challenge of transitioning from MATLAB to real-time hardware is often the expense and asteep learning curve for the students. This paper describes a real-time DSP educational platformbased around the programming ease of MATLAB and the low-cost Texas Instruments C6711digital signal processing starter kit. Classroom uses of this platform are discussed.1. IntroductionWhile there are many interesting real-time audio DSP applications to choose from, we havefound the relatively simple
