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.

迈阿密是一座充满活力的多元文化城市，位于美国、欧洲和拉丁美洲的门户，这一特点造就了佛罗里达州最大的制造业区。 该校是美国三所卡内基二期博士授予大学之一，少数民族学生比例超过 50%，该校不断更新课程，教授不断变化的现代工程知识基础。 此外，该校毕业生中西班牙裔工程师的数量比全国任何其他院校都多，并且超过 60% 的工程毕业生继续攻读研究生课程。 该项目通过机械工程中的信号处理应用来增强现有课程，向传统机械工程学生介绍系统识别、故障预测和无损检测。 这些领域提高了我们学生的仪器仪表和机电系统设计技能。 课程中增加了11个新实验，开设一门新课程并改进六门现有课程。 学生在实验室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。 这些实验是在一组选定的学生的帮助下准备的。 为此项目购买的设备用于各种合同（与当地行业和联邦机构），作为本科生研究项目的一部分。 这些本科生活动产生的资金可用于支持维护费用和未来的改进。 与该项目相关的学生活动针对大三和大四的学生。
