Text Book
Signals and Systems by Alan V. Oppenheim, Alan S. Willsky and S. Hamid Nawab, 2 nd Edition, Prentice-Hall, 1997 (Chapters 6 to 10).
Course Objectives
The objective of this course is to apply knowledge of mathematics and engineering to make important insights on the signals (that is a stream of data) and the systems (that process these signals). Both continuous and discrete time signals and systems are considered.
Tutorial (10%): Graduate attribute
On top of the technical content of this course, you will also be practicing important skills that all engineers must have, namely the ability to use important engineering tools. The engineering tool that you will be using in this course is MATLAB. MATLAB is a powerful tool for analysis and modelling as well as software prototyping of algorithms. During tutorials, tutor will be supervising you in solving some MATLAB based problems using computer. You are supposed to solve these MATLAB based problems and submit the solution to the tutor on due date. There will be a question in the final exam related to tutorial. Attendance for these tutorials is compulsory.
Assignments and Quizzes (10%)
There will be five assignments with solutions which are to be studied. There will be five quizzes corresponding to these assignments. All five quizzes will be marked and the lowest mark will not be considered. Please note that if you do not attend a quiz, you will receive a grade of zero for that quiz. No make-up quizzes will be given for any reason. Dates for these in-class quizzes will be announced one week before each quiz.
Midterm Exams (30%)
There will be two c losed book exams related to material covered up to the exam date. Each of these exams will have value of 15%. Students not participating in the midterm exam will receive zero for their midterm grade. If a student has legitimate reason not to attend the midterm exam, he/she should immediately inform the instructor (either before or immediately after the exam). Midterm exams will be held in class on Wednesday Oct. 27 and Friday Nov. 26.
Final Exam (50%)
There will be a comprehensive exam related to the material of the whole course which is closed book. Time and location of the exam will be announced by the University.
Passing Grade
To pass the course, you should get at least 50% in the overall grade.
Academic Code of Conduct
All Concordia University students must abide by the University's code of conduct which can be found in section 17.10 of Concordia University Undergraduate Calendar.
