Specific tools will be provided for setting project goals and objectives, managing interfaces between component subsystems, working in design teams, and tracking progress against tasks. Students from a variety of disciplines will conceive, design, implement, and operate a system involving electrical, information, and mechanical engineering components. This course presents the fundamentals of modern multidisciplinary systems engineering in the context of a substantial design project. 3 units (2-0-1), 6 units (2-0-4), or 9 units (2-0-7) first term 6 units (2-3-1), 9 units (2-6-1), or 12 units (2-9-1) second and third terms units according to project selected: first, second, third terms. The course emphasizes examples from the electrical circuits (e.g., energy and data converters, wired and wireless communication channels, instrumentation, and sensing), while providing some exposure to other selected applications of the deterministic analysis tool (e.g., public opinion, acoustic cancellation, financial markets, traffic, drug delivery, mechanical systems, news cycles, and heat exchange). Introduction to deterministic methods of system analysis, including matrix representations, time-domain analysis using impulse and step responses, signal superposition and convolution, Heaviside operator solutions to systems of linear differential equations, transfer functions, Laplace and Fourier transforms. Modeling of physical systems by conversion to mathematical abstractions with an emphasis on electrical systems.
