Learning Objectives describe specific skills that students should acquire in a course. Students should be able to
Course Topic & Learning Objectives TIME DOMAIN ANALYSIS: Introduction, Signals Identify common signals (rect, sinc, impulse, step, ramp, tri, exp, sinusoids). Describe more complicated signals in terms of simpler ones. Sketch signal results of simple operations (time shift, time reversal, etc.). Determine periodicity (and period) of a signal or signal combinations. Understand & utilize the properties of the impulse (delta) function. Systems and Classification Describe a system in terms of operators. Apply basic operations of time scaling, time reversal, time shift, amplitude scale and shift, d/dt, integral Determine if a system is: linear or nonlinear, time-invariant or time-variant, causal or non-causal, instantaneous or dynamic, stable or unstable. Analysis of Systems via Differential Equations Find response to system modeled by differential equation via method of undetermined coefficients. Find ZIR and ZSR. Sketch response. Identify forced and natural responses. Determine impulse response from differential equation (directly or via step response).

Apply the properties of linearity (superposition) and time-invariance to predict system responses to multiple, delayed, or derivatives of input signals.
Analysis of Systems via Convolution Evaluate convolution integral analytically and graphically (by ranges). Draw sketches of flip & slide process. Apply properties of convolution (convolve with impulse, commutative, associative, linearity). Use convolution with h(t) to find relaxed system response, including step response. Determine stability via h(t).
