The week-long course was designed for the faculty members of engineering teaching and research institutions as well as practicing engineers. The course was conducted in two-parts. Theoretical classes were held in the first half of the day on each of the topics, while the follow up tutorials were held in the second half of the respective days.
The Seminar was inaugurated by Prof. S.Datta, Pro-VC, Jadavpur University on Monday, July 7, 2008. Prof. S.K.Sanyal, former VC, Jadavpur University, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. On the first day, i.e. July 7, 2008, the lecture on Discrete Time Signals was delivered by Prof. S. Munshi and that on DFT and FFT by Dr. A. Chatterjee of Jadavpur University. IIR filters were discussed by Prof. S. Munshi and FIR filters by Dr. A. Chatterjee on July 8, 2008. The topics of Random Process, correlation and averaging techniques and median filtering were taken up by Prof. S. Munshi on July 9, 2008. Dr. A.
