Hi
What you are taught in DSP and the project you actually carry out are two different things. Writing a DSP routine to run on a PC and writing one for a microcontroller are vastly different. While you definitely need to know the theory of DSP, I think it will not be enough to implement a complete project. You will need guidance from somebody who has undertaken such a project before, so make sure your project guide (or anybody else) can help you there. You can always learn on your own, with the Great Internet as your guide, but that will take longer :-))
