Moving DSP into new curricular areas

Abstract

The Telecomputing Laboratory, established under the NSF Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement program, was designed as a dual-use facility to serve students in both digital signal processing (DSP) classes and an innovative "telecomputing" class dealing with distributed multimedia processing. The telecomputing class involves students in computer engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. In this class, we have brought the basic principles of DSP to students with a limited background in systems through integration with basic principles of networking, multimedia, and computer architecture.
