Integrating the courses of digital electronics and signal processing by median filters

Rapidly developing technology enables engineers to create more and more complex methods and systems. This rapid development and complexity of systems is a great challenge to contemporary technical education. In this paper we will describe how we have tried to integrate a couple of engineering courses so that the courses can benefit from each other and the students get an idea how different engineering topics are interrelated. It is supposed that the integration of several courses helps students to cope with the complexity of modern engineering. The integrating element between the courses is the design, simulation and synthesis of a median filter, which is simple enough that it can be implemented as a student project work during an elementary digital electronics course while also being a very useful example in a basic signal processing course. In addition, it provides further challenges for more advanced courses, in our case the advanced digital electronics course.
