ELEC 320: ABET Course Objectives and Outcomes
Course objectives:
In this course, we will study fundamental concepts related to analog and discrete_time signals and systems. This course provides a foundation for future courses in signal processing/digital signal processing, communications and computer communication networks,and control systems. In addition, we will experiment with cooperative learning
methods.
To achieve the objectives for ELEC 320, we work toward the following
course outcomes.
Course outcomes:
At the conclusion of ELEC 320, students will be able to
By the end of the course, the student should demonstrate the following:
- an ability to identify and use signal models.
- an ability to develop models of engineering systems, physical systems, and social systems.
- an ability to analyze continuous-time system models by applying
differential equations, Laplace Transforms, Fourier methods, and
frequency response methods.
- an ability to analyze discrete-time system models by applying
difference equations, Z- Transforms, Fourier methods, and frequency
response methods.
- an ability to develop computer models using available
software packages for analysis and design.
- an ability to design experiments and perform
error analysis and parameter estimation using least squares techniques.
- an ability to design a hardware or software system and formulate
system specification.
- an ability to communicate laboratory and project results in
written and oral reports.
- an awareness of famous engineers, scientists and mathematicians that
have contributed to the electrical engineering field.
