Inculcation of Life Philosophy through DSP Concepts

Abstract

Engineering education is a training that encompass learning the theoretical knowledge of concepts, and real time application domains. The role of engineering is also bound by ethical values and the understanding of social and cultural values. In this context a new approach has been designed to facilitate learning of life philosophies through Digital Signal Processing (DSP) concepts. To facilitate learning process, skits based on core DSP concepts were developed using simple day to day tools and performed with learners. The concept was introduced with simple analogies. Then students were made to participate in skits corresponding to key concepts. After the skits, learners were educated about the correlation with Life philosophies. Three case studies were taken up for this study. We found that the inculcation of life philosophies through simple skits, helped learners better to understand the concepts as well the moral values of life.
