The goal of the course is to teach basic DSP theory as well asprinciples specific to the implementation of DSP algorithms on a fixed-point processor. Thecourse length is designed to be roughly equivalent to a one-semester university course. It will bedelivered asynchronously over the Internet as described below and it takes about 12 weeks tocomplete. Due to the breadth of the material covered, students will gain a firm foundation in basicDSP principles and learn skills needed to implement DSP algorithms but they will not be expectedto become experts in the field

In many universities, it is impossible to find a faculty member in the teaching of thisadvanced method. There are not many other universities offered the similar course. AtUniversity of Pittsburgh, the application of the DEM as a computer aid in a geotechnicalprogram was attempted (Lobo-Guerrrero and Vallejo 2006), where the simulation of astandard laboratory test and different cavities inside a rock mass were introduced tostudents.Objective of the Course and ActivitiesThe objective was to teach students numerical analysis methods-focusing on DEM.

Many may not fully understand the differences between a BTU and a Calorie, a Wattand a VA, what a KWh is on their electric bill, why there are different grades of gasoline (and what“octane” means), and the foundational place in industrialized civilization of the heat engine. Thus,the central – but not sole – aim of the Energy ELG is to teach the science of energy and therefore topromote energy literacy.
