Digital Signal Processing/Image Processing: Freshman To Senior Year (original) (raw)

A hands-on project course, which focuses on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) hardware and applications through the use of standard kits, is introduced at the senior level. Since these DSP kits are important and relatively easy to interface, they can be used to introduce first year students to the design and application process of digital Signal/Image processing despite their lack of theoretical background in this subject. This paper discusses one of the experiments conducted by a group of freshman students, and shows that it is not too early to introduce some practical advanced topics to freshmen.
