of a distorted picture ofengineering education. The retention of engineering students is a very difficult problem [1].Demanding engineering curricula and ill-prepared students are often cited for poor retention andgraduation among engineering students. The problem is even more significant amongstunderrepresented minority groups. Lack of proper academic mindset and attitude for success andvery limited computer skills were cited as main challenges for incoming engineering students[2]. Also, lack of experience in bringing an engineering design concept to a working prototypeand poor written oral communication skills significantly contribute to the retention problem [2].The Electrical Engineering (EE) Department of the University of Texas at

The two mostwidely used are the traditional Imperative-first paradigm and Objects-first, the rapidly growingapproach that emphasizes objects and object-oriented design. Both place programming first andstart the student with a mainstream general-purpose language.For each strategy, Curricula 2001 provides a guideline for a two-course sequence, but stronglysuggests their three-course curriculum because “the two-course sequence is no longer sufficientto cover the fundamental concepts”.

The term Special FunctionRegisters (SFRs) refers to the specific hardware registers in the 8051 microcontroller. We leavethe higher-level tasks, such as the setting of a time delay based on input data, which take greateffort in assembly language to the high-level language.In the second part of the course, students examine the same three hardware-oriented tasks of datainput

The PC soundcard is used forsignal input and signal output, allowing students to hear the results of their DSP software.Hardware limitations imposed by the PC, while not overly restrictive, do require a bit ofdiscipline and ingenuity on the part of the student. The low-cost of this approach makes it easyfor students to equip their own home or laptop computers for DSP development, so they are nottethered to a laboratory on campus.IntroductionThe laboratory portion of a DSP course in an ECET curriculum is of particular importance due tothe more hands-on, less theoretical nature of the technology curriculum compared
