In this article, we describe and discuss the design-based approach for signal processing education at the undergraduate level at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney. The electrical engineering (EE) undergraduate curriculum at UNSW Sydney includes three dedicated signal processing courses as well as a design course that involves a major signal processing task. Design- and project-based teaching permeate the curriculum and form a primary method of content delivery to not only cement the understanding of theoretical concepts but also strengthen students? ability to apply these concepts to practical problems.
