Undergraduate speech processing awareness

Teaching a speech processing course in an undergraduate engineering program is a challenge, especially in a country where research is not a priority. We address the concerns of providing a suitable training to students, of designing a syllabus under many constraints, of keeping students motivated and of finding the appropriate way of grading. Constant innovation has proven to be a key in this course´s success, encouraging our students to choose our program among others. The increase in enrollment over the years is both an achievement and a challenge. This initiative creates academic prospect in the future of several students and promotes the development of the SP area in our University.
