It was completed and shared with the State over the summerof 2012 by summer students and their professors when the document went through its finalrevisions. This paper reports on general aspects of the EAP in order to provide the context and thenfocuses on the important relationship between project-based coursework and studentemployment opportunities. Some of the challenges in the academic environment include thesometimes competing goals of (1) providing relevant projects based upon real industry need, and(2) the accompanying expectations of professional

Page 23.469.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Electric Vehicle Circuit and Electrical System Senior Lab ProjectAbstractAs part of a multidisciplinary team, electrical engineering students worked with computer andmechanical engineering students to create a small-scale electric vehicle. The major tasks of theteam were design and performance prediction; fabrication of the vehicle, control circuits, andcomputer data acquisition board; system integration and testing; racing the vehicles against otherteams; and comparing performance data to predictions. This paper will discuss the electricalengineering students’ design efforts for the project. The
Enhance your DSP Course with these Interesting ProjectsAbstractStudents are often more interested learning technical material if they can see useful applicationsfor it, and in digital signal processing (DSP) it is possible to develop homework assignments,projects, or lab exercises to show how the techniques can be used in realistic situations. Thispaper presents six simple, yet interesting projects that are used in the author’s undergraduatedigital signal processing course with the objective of motivating the students to learn how to usethe Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and how to design digital filters. Four of the projects are basedon the FFT, including a simple voice recognition algorithm that determines if an audio recordingcontains “yes” or

students intheir senior year were recruited to take part in this pilot course. The effectiveness of the researchcourse is evaluated based upon the actual contributions of each assigned project, thedissemination of the results, and self-assessment of the students on a survey given at theconclusion of the course. This initial attempt at an undergraduate research elective is evaluatedas a partial success based upon the goals and objectives laid out at the beginning of the course.All the students made substantial progress in their research but were not able to fully completetheir projects. The primary reasons for this partial success were the optimistic goals set for theprojects and the competing demands on the students’ time during their final

They also examine practices that were realized in various course projects and assignments, and analyze the differences and similarities between their experiences in industry and their learning experience from the course. After the session, the students combine their perspectives from both retrospection and examination to reflect on how they will perform differently in their next co-op rotation or work assignment.
