Offered in:ENGIN 104 Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering
Description:
Students will work in teams to build and test electrical circuits and to explore the basics of signal processing and data modeling. The essentials of computer programming are introduced using languages such as LabVIEW and Matlab with the goal of enabling students to use the computer effectively in subsequent courses. Students will develop codes in computer languages such as LabVIEW and Matlab to analyze circuits and to design and apply digital filters. Teamwork, logbook, presentations, and report writing are integral components of the course. No previous programming experience is required. More Info
