themotivation for creating them, engineering communication programs are commonly administered at theschool level, with each school having the freedom to implement instruction in a way that best fits withits particular sequence of laboratory, design, and capstone courses. As a result, within any oneengineering college, a variety of successful writing program models can exist. The choice of paradigmreflects not only the communications norms of the particular disciplines, but also the constraintspresented by the number of students enrolled in each school and by limitations on staff and resources.At Georgia Tech, several models of meeting the technical communications requirement have beendeveloped. Within the College of Engineering (COE), some schools

Food Engineering CoursesAbstractThe How People Learn (HPL) framework1, 2 was used to redesign two food engineering courses,Introduction to Engineering Design (EI-100) and Food Chemistry (IA-332), to further promotean interactive classroom while integrating multiple formative assessments by means of Tablet PCtechnologies3, 4. The HPL framework highlights a set of four overlapping lenses that can be usedto analyze any learning situation. In particular, it suggests that we ask about the degree to whichlearning environments are knowledge, learner, community, and assessment centered1, 2.

-PhDsABSTRACTThe digital filter used most often in digital signal processing (DSP) is the Finite ImpulseResponse (FIR) filter because it is the easiest to design and it is always stable. An interestingdemonstration of the design and implementation of a FIR filter can be shown using MATLAB.The Remez function in MATLAB can be used to generate the filter coefficients for the lowpass,highpass, bandpass, or bandstop filter. MATLAB can be used to generate a set of sinusoidalsignals that can be observed in the time domain and frequency domain. The appropriate filtercan be applied to pass or block one or all the signals. In addition, MATLAB provides a graphicuser interface tool, the Filter Design and Analysis Tool (fdatool), that can be used to generate thefilter
