Undergraduate Courses BIOENG 1320

BIOENG 1320 - BioSignals and Systems


Instructor: Zeringue

Credits: 3

Term: Fall

Description: This course covers linear systems theory. The emphasis is on understanding the underlying mathematics in a practical sense.

Prerequisites: MATH 0290

Required Texts: "An Introduction to Signals and Systems," 1st edition by John Alan Stuller

Course Objectives:Upon completing the course, the student should be able to recognize linear time invariant systems, determine their impulse response, and use convolution and integral transform techniques to determine their output to various input signals.

Topics Covered: Topics include

  • Complex Arithmetic
  • Properties of Systems
  • Discrete and Continuous Convolution
  • Fourier Series
  • Fourier Transform
  • Laplace Transform
  • Z Transform

Class/Laboratory Schedule:Class meets twice a week for 75 minutes each day. Laboratory meets once a week for 115 minutes.

Lecture: The lecture will focus on a theoretical understanding of linear signals and systems. Lecture time will consist mainly of didactic lectures.

Laboratory: The laboratory will focus more on practical understanding of linear signals and systems. This time will consist of problem-based learning as well as computer-based analysis.
