DSP for practicing engineers: an online course for continuing DSP education
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent rapid increase in applications of DSP has generated a need for technical personnel with a DSP background. Until recently, most DSP education has been at the graduate level, so many practicing engineers are developing a need for additional DSP education. At Georgia Tech we are delivering an online continuing education course that is targeted at these engineers. The 12-week course is comprised of three interconnected tracks in DSP system theory, real-time implementation principles, and laboratory assignments with MATLAB and the latest fixedpoint TI DSP chips. The course was designed after a needs analysis performed by Texas Instruments training specialists. It is intended specifically to provide a full semester’s course in a way that is adapted to the schedules and circumstances of practicing engineers. In this paper we describe both the content of the course and the technology for delivering it online.
