This course provides an introduction to Electrical and Electronics Engineering. It introduces the students to basic concepts of signals and systems through extensive use of digital computation. MATLAB, which is one of the most widely used computing languages in engineering, is used throughout the course. The general objective is to motivate beginning engineers to connect mathematics and computation to engineering problem solving. Covered topics include mathematical representation of signals and systems, sinusoidal signals, spectrum of signals, periodic signals, Fourier representation, sampling, quantization, aliasing, FIR filtering and convolution as well as the MATLAB programming environment, syntax and programming essentials.
