  • ECE 477: Digital Processing of Speech Signals

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

    3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 384 and ECE 475; or permission of instructor Applications of digital signal processing to speech signals. Course goals are to reinforce concepts learned in prerequisite courses, to introduce new tools needed to deal with time-varying signals and to have students apply what they have learned to their own voices. A semester design project is a large component of this course. Topics include a& brief introduction to articulatory and acoustic phonetics, hearing and speech perception, time-domain methods for speech processing, short-time Fourier analysis, homomorphic speech processing, linear predictive coding of speech, and applications.

  • ECE 486: Database Systems I

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

    3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 367 or CIS 370 Introduction to database systems from an architectural and functional perspective. The course provides an overview of database systems architecture, computer representation of information, computer data storage, properties of persistent data, database structuring models (relational, object, object-relational, and entity-relationship), transaction processing models, concurrency control techniques, database transaction recovery, and security. These concepts will then be explored by examining and comparing the architecture and operations of database systems such as conventional, real-time, temporal, fault-tolerant, distributed, heterogeneous, secure and others.
