A Digital Signal Processing Course for communication systems applications

A Digital Signal Processing Course oriented to communication systems engineering students is described. The course structure is presented in the paper together with quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the related features and performances. Specific indicators, related to topic specialization, and student involvement have been introduced in order to perform those evaluations. The very encouraging results obtained from the 1994/95 experience are reported, together with the consequent hints and perspectives for the near-future activity. The potentiality of the described course toward a heavy introduction of computer-aided design supports and tele-teaching within the conventional classroom activity is analyzed and commented upon.
