Teaching Digital Speech Processing for Telecommunications
نویسنده
چکیده
The communication focuses on the educational environment for teaching "Digital Speech Processing" at undergraduate, graduate and PhD levels in the Department of Telecommunications from Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Emphasis will be done to reveal particular successes and drawbacks in order to set up and to develop a modern curriculum during the last four years. This educational environment has been set up to cover special issues on speech processing, but from an engineering applicative point of view: that of telecommunications. The teaching infrastructure is tailored to the local conditions, but it can be adopted as an overall model for other universities. The conclusions will refer to a critical analysis of education in the above mentioned field in our department, possibilities to improve teaching resources and teaching methods, but also proposals to move from "classical" education to an open and continuous one based on electronic information interchange.
