Abstract :
This work reports the implementation of two multidisciplinary postgraduate courses on intelligent signal processing, which have been taught at FEEC (School of Electrical and Computer Engineering), University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. The first one is devoted to high-order statistics (March-June/2000) and the second one, to blind deconvolution (August-December/2000). The adjective “multidisciplinary” concerns the participation of students of different backgrounds and research fields. The main difficulties associated with establishing an effective communication among the students and the lecturer is discussed, and the motivation level of students is evaluated. This experimental evaluation points out good results as well as drawbacks, and the main challenges of multidisciplinary education are discussed
