Abstract
A course on fixed-point algorithm design using a single sideband (SSB) communication project has been offered three times. The course emphasizes system cost and performance to simulate industry constraints. Students have found the course motivational, and there is a significant need for the topic in industry. Efforts to assess the effect of the course on conceptual understanding are discussed, as is a plan for an associated text
