Digital Signal Processing
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
Digital signal processing (DSP) is the mathematical manipulation of digital signals—such as audio, video, or sensor data—using algorithms to filter, compress, analyze, or transform them, often via techniques like the Fourier transform. Electrical engineers and software developers apply DSP in fields ranging from telecommunications and audio engineering to medical imaging and radar systems.
