In this case, the DSP program can be given to the students,and they only need to modify the filter coefficients and the threshold value. Alternately, theproject can be used as a programming exercise, where the appropriate values of the filtercoefficients and the threshold are given to the students, and they write the DSP code toimplement the algorithm.

experience, we have identified five key measures to easethe transition and enhance the educational experience: 1) use "real-world" projects to motivatethe learning process and introduce them at the beginning of the semester; 2) follow establishedkeys to using groups successfully; 3) ensure sufficient "coverage" by having students learn basicmaterial outside the classroom, which also fosters life-long learning; 4) team teach courses; and5) use laboratory sessions for group-learning activities. While the concepts have been tested onupper-level courses (junior, senior, graduate), we feel they are appropriate for lower-divisioncourses as well.INTRODUCTIONLocal and national surveys consistently point to several weaknesses in engineering education

The intent of the trackingsystem is to maintain a perpendicular angle from the surface of the panel cells to the sun’semitting light rays in-order to maintain optimal power storage throughout the course of the day. Improved design and development of an omni-directional solar tracking system can beconsidered for implementation at an industry scale for achieving optimal power
