COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This basic course is intended to provide the fundamental knowledge about signals and systems in order to build
a comprehensive foundation for higher level courses such as digital signal processing, control systems, and
communications systems. First part of this course covers various types of signals and their operations followed
by classification of LTI systems. Second part of this course covers Fourier transforms to have frequency-
domain insights.
 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
CLO 1: Apply different operations on signals and examine their output.
CLO 2: Calculate convolution of two signals.
CLO 3: Make a periodic signal through a weighted sum of complex exponential signals.
