At the end of this course, students should be able to design, construct, and assess electronic systems to measure, monitor, and/or control physical properties and events. The course spans the traditional electrical engineering areas of circuits, signals, systems, and digital information processing using modern computer tools, such as Labview and Matlab. The course includes a laboratory and provides 4 semester hours of credit.
Prerequisites: MATH 102; PHYS 102, in particular, an understanding of, and ability to analyze basic R-L-C circuits in the dc and transient time domain. See the Learning Objectives.
