Withthese practical tools “in-hand” as well as their “hands-on” education, EET graduates will findmore opportunities available in areas outside the mainstream of technical occupations.Ultimately, this combination of skills will provide EET graduates with an effective track forcareer advancement.This paper will discuss the curriculum details necessary to achieving these objectives.

ABET Criterion G, an ability to communicate effectively, includes the ability tocommunicate orally. This criterion has often been met by offering a traditional speech class.While these courses are very effective in providing an opportunity to practice and master theskills needed for competent public speaking, the set of skills required to deliver an effectivetechnical presentation is very different. They include: audience analysis, research, organizationof material, the selection of appropriate media, and the creation of effective graphics.

The DSP market place will grow 20% in 1998 to the $3.9billion level, and is forecast to grow to the $13.4 billion level in 2002 according to analyst WillStrauss [1]. These dramatic changes in the use of digital signal processing, and our need tocompete in the global market, dictate the necessity for our graduates to possess a hands-onknowledge of DSP technology and its implementation.DSP education as with any new technology was a specialist field.
