For example, tipping is the reason behind several accidents and recalls and theresulting injuries and deaths. For instance, 200+ fatalities were caused by furniture tippingbetween January 2000 and April 2022.

A focus on the networking aspect of the RTOS kernel wasexplained by teaching the CAN bus. The emphasis was to make clear the networking part of theRTOS [9]. Laboratories were developed for teaching RTOS. For example, a virtual machineenvironment was introduced to reduce the setup time [10]. A commercial grade open sourceRTOS, FreeRTOS, was taught to show the deployment of RTOS. The emphasis was on using theFreeRTOS but not designing an RTOS [11]. The approach in [11] is a “top-down

Engineering is a process, not a body of knowledge. Hence, it isquite different from much of the elementary-level science content. However, the scientificmethod is also a process, so engineering can grow naturally from the laboratory and exploration-based aspects of the science curriculum. Also, science provides the knowledge base forengineering. There does seem to be a tendency to slip back from

While MATLAB simulations areuseful for teaching the basic theory, many of these concepts are more easily taught toundergraduates if appropriate real-time demonstrations and laboratory experiences are available. The challenge of transitioning from MATLAB to real-time hardware is often the expense and asteep learning curve for the students. This paper describes a real-time DSP educational platformbased around the programming ease of MATLAB and the low-cost Texas Instruments C6711digital signal processing starter kit. Classroom uses of this platform are discussed.1. IntroductionWhile there are many interesting real-time audio DSP applications to choose from, we havefound the relatively simple
