  Synopsis  

This computer lab is designed to enhance and add to the ECE 380 lecture experience. Important concepts and topics in continuous and discrete signals and systems are explored using MATLAB. Weekly assignments progress in parallel with the ECE 380 coverage to the extent possible.

 

 

  Prerequisites  

Concurrent enrollment in ECE 380

 

 

  Grading  

There will be 12 graded lab assignments, all mandatory, and each carrying equal weight toward the overall lab grade.
No make-up labs without a legitimate reason.

Letter grades will be based on the following scale:

                                              [95-100]  A
                                              [90-95]   A-
                                              [84-90)   B+
                                              [70-84)   B 
                                              [65-70)   B-
                                              [55-65)   C
                                              [45-55)   D
                                              [0-45)    F

Important note: There are no group lab exercises for this course. So I expect all work you turn in to reflect your own effort. Specifically, electronic exchange of program code or results is strictly prohibited. University guidelines regarding academic integrity will be followed if and when any violation is noted.

 

  Lab Assignments
