Thus, the graduate student participation in the workshops indicates alevel of interest that justifies offering these learning opportunities.This paper describes the process for organizing the workshops, as well as the objectivesand approaches used for each topic. It also outlines the key principles and contentintroduced in each workshop and reports the graduate students’ evaluations of thesessions.Workshop on communications and teachingAt the USC College of Engineering and Information Technology, as in other engineeringcolleges, engineering graduate students participate in undergraduate

As the course proceeds, the students incorporate morecomplexity into their model. The help from instructors and the teaching assistant is providedcontinuously. When the projects are completed, students submit them as full-scale reports andpresent them in front of the class, with students involved in the evaluation of the presentation.The project and the presentation constitute the largest part of the final grade: 40-50%. About30% are reserved for two intermediate exams and 20-30% to homeworks. Page 7.964.2 Proceedings of

Withregard to non-real-time exercises, it’s clear that interactive learning, exercises, and demonstrations to stu-dents using off-line methods are very useful for helping them to build an initial mental model.2–6 However,taking the next step by requiring students to make the transition to real-time DSP implementations has beenshown to cement a more complete understanding of DSP topics.7Since the late 1990’s, the authors of this paper have reported on proven DSP teaching methodologies,hardware and software solutions, and various DSP tools that have helped motivate both students and facultyto implement real-time DSP-based systems, and thereby improve education in
