Miami is a dynamic, multicultural city at the gateway of the United States, Europe, and Latin America, a characteristic that has created the largest manufacturing region in Florida. The school, one of the nation's three Carnegie II doctoral-granting universities with more than 50 percent minority students, is continuously updating its curriculum to teach the constantly changing knowledge base of modern engineering. In addition, the school graduates more Hispanic engineers than any other institution in the nation, and more than 60 percent of its engineering graduates continue on to graduate programs. This project enhances the current curriculum with signal processing applications in mechanical engineering to introduce conventional mechanical engineering students to system identification, failure prediction, and nondestructive testing. These areas enhance the instrumentation and electromechanical system design skills of our students. Eleven new experiments have been added to the curriculum to open one new course and to improve six existing courses. Students use state-of-the-art precise measurement equipment in laboratories to learn the basics of monitoring and analysis techniques. The experiments were prepared with the assistance of a select group of students. Equipment purchased for this project is used for various contracts (with local industry and federal agencies) as part of undergraduate research projects. These undergraduate student activities generate funding to support maintenance expenses and future enhancement. The student activities associated with this project are targeted towards juniors and seniors.

迈阿密是美国，欧洲和拉丁美洲的门户的动态多元文化城市，这是佛罗里达州最大的制造业地区的特征。 这所学校是美国三所卡内基II博士学位大学，拥有超过50％的少数族裔学生，他正在不断更新其课程，以教导现代工程学不断变化的知识基础。 此外，学校毕业生的西班牙裔工程师比全国任何其他机构都要多，其60％以上的工程毕业生继续从事研究生课程。 该项目通过机械工程中的信号处理应用增强了当前的课程，以将传统的机械工程学生介绍到系统识别，失败预测和无损测试中。 这些领域增强了我们学生的仪器和机电系统设计技能。 已经在课程中添加了11个新实验，以打开一门新课程并改善现有的六门课程。 学生在实验室中使用最先进的精确测量设备来学习监测和分析技术的基础知识。 在一群学生的协助下准备了实验。 该项目购买的设备用于本科研究项目的一部分，用于各种合同（与本地行业和联邦机构）。 这些本科生的活动会产生资金，以支持维护费用和未来的增强。 与该项目相关的学生活动针对初级和老年人。
