Thecomputer and data acquisition system was switched on for on-line monitoring and plottinggraphs for temperature versus time and distortion versus time. The specimen is inserted into theholder designed for the disc shaped specimen (Figure 1b), and the holder is lowered until a directsymmetrical contact was made with the 2.0-cm diameter heat source. The linear displacementtransducer that measures distortion is simultaneously engaged. The experiment is performed witha predetermined load of 5 N to simulate a force pressing against the core or mold. The load isapplied to the circumference of the specimen.

Students are required to pick filters, designthe filters using the Filter Design and Analysis Tool in MATLAB, then implement and test thefilters on the TMS320C6x DSK. These labs really highlight the versatility of a DSP chip.Student evaluations of both the lecture and the laboratory have been very positive.ConclusionThe increasing use of DSP in engineering applications makes it necessary to include digital signalprocessing courses in the engineering technology curriculum.

In order to be successful in attaining ourlearning objectives we must ensure ‘constructive alignment’ that is, we must design or constructcourse elements with adequate explanation and assessment while also trying to make surestudents are motivated and have obtained the required perquisite knowledge13. Seery et al.14related the work of constructive alignment by Biggs13, Ramsden15, and Prosser16 to develop adeep learning paradigm –that which fosters a deeper learning experience for students– with thefollowing eight points: 1. An interest in background knowledge is important, as a lack of interest can discourage deep learning. 2. Clear statement of objectives and quality feedback encourages deep

Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.
