5. COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. Teach the fundamental concepts of continuous-time and discrete-time system theory.

2. Apply theory to engineering problems (Criterion 3(a)), such as systems modeled with linear differential equations and

linear difference equations (Criterion 3(e)).

3. Apply multi-variate linear regression to identify FIR systems. (Criterion 3(b)).

4. Teach time domain techniques (convolution and solution of differential and difference equations) and frequency domain

techniques (Fourier series and Fourier transforms), emphasizing tools which can be implemented in analysis and design

(Criterion 3(c)) via the computer package Matlab (Criterion 3(k)).
