Summary on Grant Application Form
The proposed Training Package aims to provide a thorough and in-depth understanding of the theory and practise ofmodern digital signal processing. In particular the programme will provide specialized training in the areas of multimediasignal processing and intelligent signal processing that is unavailable elsewhere. At the end of the course students will beaware of current standards and algorithms being used at the forefront of the signal processing field and have a fitllunderstanding of the problems and challenges involved in their practical implementation.The programme is in response to a growing skills shortage in IT industries for highly qualified engineers in signal processing. Pump-priming is therefore essential to start this programme, which, we anticipate, will become economically viable within the first five years, given the level of industrial interest in both the courses and their graduates. Funding is being sought to help cover development costs and to fund 10 studentships per year for the period of EPSRC funding. We expect that the initial intake for the course will be approximately 15-20, with the aim of growing by about 5 students a year with a final number of between 35-40 students by October 2005.
