Abstract:

We are developing a sophomore course to serve as a first course in electrical engineering. The course focuses on discrete-time systems. Its goal is to give students an intuitive understanding of concepts such as sinusoids, frequency domain, sampling, aliasing, and quantization. In the laboratory, students build simulations and real-time systems to test these ideas. By using a combination of high-level and DSP assembly languages, the students experiment with a variety of views into the representation, design, and implementation of systems. The students are exposed to a digital style of implementation based on programming both desktop and embedded processors.
