Abstract :
An approach developed at Northeastern University for undergraduate DSP education that bridges the gap between theory and practice is described. It combines a traditional lecture component of DSP theory with a hardware-based laboratory component containing experiments and projects. The course organization and the laboratory are examined, and an illustrative project, a single-sideband modulator, is described.<>
