Engineering 320 - SIGNALS AND SYSTEMS

The concepts of linear system theory (e.g., signals and systems) are fundamental to all areas of engineering, including the transmission of radio signals, signal processing techniques (e.g., medical imaging, speech recognition, etc.), and the design of feedback systems (e.g., in automobiles, power plants, etc.). This course introduces the basic concepts of linear system theory, including convolution, continuous and discrete time Fourier analysis, Laplace and Z transforms, sampling, stability, feedback, control and modulation. Examples will be utilized from electrical, mechanical, biomedical, environmental and chemical engineering. Required concurrent laboratory. Prerequisites: EGR 220 and PHY 210. Enrollment limit of 20.
