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, Oct. 17. The lectures are in room 106B3 Engineering Hall at 9 AM and in room 269 Everitt at 10 AM and 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., Thurs., Sept. 25, Thurs., Oct. 23, and Thurs., Nov. 20. To compensate for the evening tests, class will be canceled on the Friday after each test. The final for ECE 210 is tentatively scheduled for Fri., Dec. 12.

Homework: Written assignments will be made weekly on My.ECE and will be due on Wednesdays at 4pm in the homework box in the basement. The homework box 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 Sept. 22.

Textbook: Required: Kudeki & Munson, Analog Signals and Systems Prentice Hall, 2008. Daily reading assignments are shown in the Course Calendar.
