Digital Signal Processing for the Liberal Arts Student

Many of today´s most popular consumer electronics products rely, to some extent, on digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms and chips. The development of this course had the primary goal of educating students outside electrical engineering about some basic signal processing concepts and applications. For this reason, the focus of the course is on the breadth of applications and includes some hands-on experiments to emphasize important concepts. A secondary goal of the course, through the presentation of many different applications, is to allow students to think about new applications in their fields of study. By completing a project at the end of the course, students have an opportunity to explore in more depth an existing/novel application of signal processing
