these tools is the reinforcement of student understanding of theoretical principles by meansof enhanced graphical aids. Simulation results can be used effectively in the classroom toemphasize the characteristics of devices and show the similarities and differences that existbetween actual and theoretical characteristics. The simple graphical nature of the simulationoutputs tends to help students understand the operation of mathematically complex systembehaviors. Another equally important advantage is the preparation for analysis and the design ofmore complex systems than those that can be treated with pencil and paper, much like the onesstudents will see in industry. With these tools, instructors can assign complex design problemsthat otherwise

materials are abstract and the concepts are difficult to understand. Currentlypublished textbooks include computer exercises/projects to help students learn the concepts,primarily, the development of an intuition for randomness. But most of these computerexercises/projects are pure theoretical, which do not have a clear link with real applications. Inthis paper, we will report the effort made to design application-oriented computer projects as acomplement to current textbook resources for a graduate-level class. Most of these projects aredesigned based on the applications of probability and random processes in Digital ImageProcessing and Digital Speech Processing, two major areas for the application of this knowledge.Image and speech signals have

the testing; so it appears that team performances on thefirst project were discriminated primarily on the basis of the written reports (25%) (grades from10 to 105) and the team quizzes (15%) (grades from 49 to 94). The second eight-week projectwas a paper study, and grading was based on team quizzes and a written report. In any event, theauthors conclude that “the average performance of [gender] homogeneous teams is slightly betterthan that of heterogeneous teams.” Their limited data indicted that nine all-male teams outperformed three all-female teams by about 3%. The all-male teams outperformed the ten equallydistributed teams (two males and two females) by 6% and two teams with one female each by22%.In a third study4, team performances of
