You may think you are exempt from explaining the problem because thereader has solicited responses by preparing an RFP and must therefore know what theproblem is.

The foundation of Fourier theory withregard to signal analysis is the understanding of how sinusoids compose periodic signals. Thehighly mathematical, abstract, and theoretical concepts are difficult for the students to visualize.Most students have no conscious personal experience with this phenomenon, so when the theoryis described, they have no foundation on which to build.We are trying to improve motivation and learning by creating application-oriented hands-onactive-learning opportunities for
