E4509: DSP for kids in Splash Fall 2015 (Nov. 07 - 08, 2015)
We are surrounded by many many devices such as cell phones and tablets that use advanced digital signal processing tools to make our lives easier. Most of us cannot imagine our lives without them. However, very few of us know what is running the show behind the curtains. Signal processing courses are not taught until advanced levels of electrical engineering. At that time, the curriculum doesn't make sense and it's typically taught in a very abstract and complicated way. In this class, we developed a simple introduction to signal processing curriculum for anybody in high school. The topics will include: - Analog/Discrete/Digital - Sampling theory and aliasing - Fourier series/Fourier transform - Frequency response - Audio signal processing - Digital image processing
