The IEEEpaper5 presents more information about the undergraduate course. In the graduate course,students are asked to do a term project on DSP with a written report which can besubmitted online using the iWebfolio system. We have found both MATLAB andMATHCAD to be useful software packages for DSP courses, students can use studentversions or access them at the Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) Center in the college.We will next present DSP theory, course topics, examples using software packages andfinally present some conclusions as to the pros and cons of using software tools and theusefulness of having laboratory or

Such difficulties can be reported back to the design office for proper dispensation.Project Approach and ExecutionThe original NSF grant that spawned this project made use of a laboratory-grade flatbed recorderto make a record of the dynamics of the control loop studied by the student. This worked well inthe classroom. However, such a device is far too expensive and far too delicate to withstand theabuse one encounters in the field. When this project began, there was little available in the wayof equipment designed specifically for the proper collection of data in the field for the purpose athand. One consideration was the use of a hand-held oscilloscope. However, the cost

These meetings consisted of knowledge anddocumentation exchange, where the Chemical Engineering researchers would describe theirgoals and provide the EET group with documentation and other equipment specifications.These meetings also provided a forum for exchanging contact information and specifics re-garding laboratory location, access and safety. These aspects cannot be over-emphasizeddue to basic unfamiliarity across disciplines. For example, EET students are much lessaccustomed to chemical laboratories while Chemical Engineers are less familiar with theramifications of issues such as insufficient or improper grounding techniques.

All studentsalso attend a common one-hour lecture each week. A majority of the lectures are by guestexperts, and have covered a wide range of topics related to engineering design, communication,and community service. The long-term nature of the program has required some innovation inthe lecture series since students may be involved in the program for several semesters. This hasbeen addressed by rotating the lecture topics on a cycle of two to three years and by creatingspecialized lecture supplements called skill sessions that students can

Laboratory tours with high interaction andless repetition were easily the most popular tours. While the feedback received on some labswas negative, it was not interpreted as a sign that the particular lab tour should be discontinuedbut rather that it needed to be retooled. An example would be having the students observe robotsmoving in one of the labs versus the excitement generated when students were able to control therobots. On the other hand, the lab where students were allowed to handle research materialsseemed to make more of an impression. Visiting wind tunnels was

There are also programs where the emphasis of thecourse is on the study of instrumentation and programmable logic controllers.One difficulty in teaching control systems is to provide a good balance between theory and practice. Byincorporating a laboratory component, it could help to provide some connection between the abstractcontrol theory and the real world applications.In the present paper we describe the educational experience gained by including team-based projects intothe control systems course. In these projects students design and implement different controllers forautonomous navigation in a mobile robot.
