Abstract :
The multi-disciplinary nature of a DSP laboratory course makes it depend more heavily on the surrounding curriculum than many other courses. We argue that the most effective DSP laboratory courses are tailored to their specific curricula. Based on almost 15 years of experience in designing DSP laboratory courses for three different electrical and computer engineering (ECE) curricula at two different institutions, we present a general philosophy for designing DSP laboratory courses and evaluate our previous course designs as case studies
