UT Tyler has been awarded an equipment grant that will provide digital signal processor hardware and software for student use in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The Texas Engineering and Technical Consortium/Texas Instruments grant, valued at $15,940, will provide TMS320C64X digital signal processor starter kits hardware along with Code Composer tools for software development, said Dr. Mukul Shirvaikar, associate professor of electrical engineering. “The intention is to expose students to modern real time systems and train them to use state-of-the art tools. This will prepare the students well for industry," Shirvaikar said. “We plan to use the equipment immediately in the Computer Architecture course this semester and in other courses in the near future." TETC is a consortium of Texas public and independent universities that offer engineering and computer science programs and technology companies that employ graduates of those programs. In efforts to increase the number of electrical and computer engineering graduates from Texas schools, TETC has partnered with Texas Instruments to offer DSP hardware and software for student use. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board administers the grant program. Contact person: Emily Battle, (903) 565-5604
