Abstract

The scope of a modern electrical engineering curriculum presents a challenging problem. It is quite difficult to design a well rounded and encompassing curriculum in a rapidly evolving field such as electrical engineering. In this paper, signal processing tools are presented which allow the student to see immediately the advantages of these techniques and their limitations in electric power quality. Three signal processing techniques are considered: discrete Fourier transforms; wavelet filters; and discrete short-time Fourier transforms. The paper explains how the course material and teaching style respond to various requirements for an integrated design experience.
