About the Course: ECE 210 is the first mathematically oriented course in the electrical and computer engineering curricula. The course begins by building on the circuit analysis concepts you learned in ECE 110 and then progresses into the more abstract world of Fourier and Laplace transforms. Much of what we will do will rely on your background in calculus. Our goal will be to apply mathematical tools to the analysis and design of signal processing systems, culminating in a thorough understanding of an AM radio receiver and the ability to design simple filters. ECE 210 deals with the processing of continuous-time, or analog signals. The follow-on course, ECE 410, covers the processing of sampled, or digital signals. ECE 211 is the first half of ECE 210. Students in ECE 211 should attend lectures through Friday, October 16. The lectures are in room 218 Ceramics Building at 9 AM, in room 1310 Digital Computer Lab at 10 AM, and in room 165 Everitt Lab at 1 PM. Further details about ECE 210/211 can be found in Course Goals and Instructional Objectives document.


Exams: Exams will be combined for all sections of ECE 210 and 211. ECE 210 students will take three evening tests and a final exam. ECE 211 students will take just the first two tests. The second test will serve as the final exam for ECE 211 students. Times for the tests are 7:00-8:15 p.m., Thursday, September 24, Thursday, October 22 and Thursday, November 19. To compensate for the evening tests, class will be canceled on the Friday after each test. The final for ECE 210 is scheduled for Friday, December 11 from 8-11 a.m.


Homework: Written assignments will be made weekly on the link "Homework Assignments and Homework/Exam Solutions" and will be due on Wednesdays at 5 p.m. in the homework box which is is located in the basement of Everitt lab across from room 60. Late homework will receive NO CREDIT. The lowest homework grade will be dropped for 211 students and two lowest homeworks will be dropped for 210 students.


Labs (only ECE 210 students): Five bi-weekly laboratory assignments will be given, beginning the week of September 21. More information about the labs on the following link: Lab Syllabus and Assignments


Textbook: Required: Kudeki & Munson, Analog Signals and Systems Prentice Hall, 2008. Daily reading assignments are shown in the Course Calendar. If you choose to use course notes from a previous semester, it is your responsibility to ensure that the content is the same. In particular, ensure that the homework problems are the same.
