We provide the students with the equipment to sample and process speech, music, and image signals for the laboratory experiments. The students have access to four Intel Pentium PCs with built-in sound cards. The PCs are equipped with Intel's ProShare teleconferencing package which includes a video camera, video capture, and a microphone/earphone set. Through ProShare, the PCs are networked locally and to the Internet. Each PC also has a MIDI velocity keyboard. Full versions of MATLAB and SIMULINK are installed. For the embedded signal processing laboratories, each PC has a TMS320C50 DSP Kit and Evaluation Module from Texas Instruments Inc. Other available software includes Web browsers and a C++ compiler. Each station has a copy of several books and reference manuals [4][2][1].
