Analyze and solve engineering problems using linear algebra and integral and differential calculus of functions of several variables. Boundary-value problems in mechanics, fluid dynamics, and electrostatics. Examination of electrostatics, magnetostatics, and fluid and wave mechanics using vector differential and integral calculus. Introduction of approximation and error analysis methods as fundamental engineering tools.

Application of laboratory instrumentation to the investigation of active and passive circuit characteristics; introduction to computer-aided design, analysis, and testing; development of report writing and oral presentation skills.

Mathematical characterization of continuous-time systems using time- and frequency-domain concepts. Properties of linear systems described by ordinary differential equations. Fourier analysis of signals and system frequency response functions. Applications to communication and control systems. Introduction to system simulation using computer methods.

This course covers topics related to architectures for embedded processors, hardware and software aspects of interfacing, handling interrupts, low-level programming including debugging of real-time systems, and embedded application implementations. Laboratory exercises will reinforce theoretical and applied concepts using an embedded architecture and develop report writing skills. Programming experience required. This course is required for CE majors and is optional for EE majors.
