Many computer-oriented studentsdiscover an unexpected link between computers and the mathematics of signal theory, and havepursued further study in traditional DSP courses at the senior and graduate level.2. DSP FirstThe idea of using signal processing as the first course in electrical engineering is not new. Somehave proposed teaching analog signal processing prior to circuit theory, so that a systemviewpoint is presented prior to the details of circuit implementation. Our approach has been tostart with digital signal processing, and then move into analog systems. This matches quite wellwith the everyday experiences of most of our students who have expertise with softwarepackages that might contain DSP capabilities

CurriculumAbstractAs the United States tries to remain technologically competitive with other nations the demandfor engineering professionals is expected to increase. Since the early 1990‘s, many K-12engineering outreach programs have been incorporated into middle schools either through hightech electives or in tandem with the State prescribed math and science curriculum with the intentof fostering student interest in science and engineering. In spite of both approaches the ratio ofscience and engineering degrees awarded annually to the college aged population in the U.S. isless than in other countries. Furthermore, the number of underrepresented minorities earningthose degrees is 12% according to the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering

Turner says: “This rethinking involves the nature ofthe science that we do (more integrated), the way that problems are defined(collaboratively), the role of the scientists in the process (more engaged), and the tools fordelivery (more user friendly)”. These economic and social pressures require thateducators rethink or redesign how material is presented to students. One approach toimplementing these changes is to modify the traditional, lecture-based science andengineering education technique to include one of guided inquiry and multi- or inter-disciplinary project performance.
