Engineering faculty members at Bucknell University have established a course required for freshman engineering students and open to liberal arts students. The course has been designed to stimulate and enhance student interest in all the engineering disciplines at Bucknell. The course ranges broadly across small groups, faculty-lead recitations, laboratory experiences, student design projects, traditional lectures, and guest speakers. The exploring engineering course has completed its second year. The authors describe the course, the changes made since the initial offering and the impact on the students and faculty involved. They also present and interpret student evaluations of the course.(4 refs)

An Integrated Environment For Filter Design, J.K Andersen, Maurice Aburdene Nov 2012

An Integrated Environment For Filter Design, J.K Andersen, Maurice Aburdene

Maurice Aburdene

Analog filters and direct digital filters are implemented using digital signal processing techniques. Specifically, Butterworth, Elliptic, and Chebyshev filters are implemented using the Motorola 56001 Digital Signal Processor by the integration of three software packages: MATLAB, C++, and Motorola's Application Development System. The integrated environment allows the novice user to design a filter automatically by specifying the filter order and critical frequencies, while permitting more experienced designers to take advantage of MATLAB's advanced design capabilities. This project bridges the gap between the theoretical results produced by MATLAB and the practicalities of implementing digital filters using the Motorola 56001 Digital Signal …

Wow! Linear Systems And Signal Processing Is Fun!, Maurice Aburdene, Kundan Nepal Nov 2012

Wow! Linear Systems And Signal Processing Is Fun!, Maurice Aburdene, Kundan Nepal

Maurice Aburdene

We describe a recent offering of a linear systems and signal processing course for third-year electrical and computer engineering students. This course is a pre-requisite for our first digital signal processing course. Students have traditionally viewed linear systems courses as mathematical and extremely difficult. Without compromising the rigor of the required concepts, we strived to make the course fun, with application-based hands-on laboratory projects. These projects can be modified easily to meet specific instructors' preferences. © 2011 IEEE.(17 refs)

The Discrete Pascal Transform And Its Applications, Maurice Aburdene, T. Goodman

Maurice Aburdene

We introduce a new discrete polynomial transform constructed from the rows of Pascal’s triangle. The forward and inverse transforms are computed the same way in both the oneand two-dimensional cases, and the transform matrix can be factored into binary matrices for efficient hardware implementation. We conclude by discussing applications of the transform in

Parallel Vector Processing Of Multidimensional Orthogonal Transforms For Digital Signal Processing Applications, M. El-Sharkawy, W. Tsang, Maurice Aburdene Nov 2012

Parallel Vector Processing Of Multidimensional Orthogonal Transforms For Digital Signal Processing Applications, M. El-Sharkawy, W. Tsang, Maurice Aburdene

Maurice Aburdene

The performance of the parallel vector implementation of the one- and two-dimensional orthogonal transforms is evaluated. The orthogonal transforms are computed using actual or modified fast Fourier transform (FFT) kernels. The factors considered in comparing the speed-up of these vectorized digital signal processing algorithms are discussed and it is shown that the traditional way of comparing th execution speed of digital signal processing algorithms by the ratios of the number of multiplications and additions is no longer effective for vector implementation; the structure of the algorithm must also be considered as a factor when comparing the execution speed of vectorized …
