Handbook

The course involves three core competency components, as follows: Electronic Circuit Design: Devices, amplifiers, tuned circuits, opamp circuits, etc. Control System Design: Feedback and stability, linear control, non-linear control, data acquisition and sampling, etc. Signal Processing Design: Filter design, frequency response, spectrum analysis, BIBO analysis, etc. The elective component of the course involves competency components in at least one of the following areas: Power System Design: Transformer, motor, power electronic converter, power factor, harmonics, etc. Networked Communications: Computer programming, socket programming, network protocols, distributed asynchronous systems, estimation and exploitation of local and system-wide timing information, etc. Physical Communications: Modulation schemes, robust detection of signals in noise, multiplexing and interference suppression, efficient bandwidth utilization, error control, etc. Laboratory assessment requires the design, construction, and understanding of working solutions to specified problems.
