Interactive tools for signal processing education

The Signal Processing Instructional Facility (SPIF Lab.) is an educational laboratory featuring interactive multimedia for teaching concepts related to linear systems theory and signal processing. The goals of the SPIF lab are to augment, enhance, and interconnect sophomore, junior, and senior level courses with the common thread of linear systems and transforms by unifying the experimentation medium. In this fashion, physical phenomenon is returned to the forefront of engineering education. The major components of the new laboratory are a family of dynamic Mathematica Notebooks (a form of hypertext) and interactive applications which utilize dedicated DSP microprocessors.<
