ENGR 012. Linear Physical Systems Analysis

This course (including the lab) will provide you with an introduction to time-domain and frequency-domain approaches involving the measurement of, modeling, solution to and analysis of linear dynamical systems that occur in many engineering disciplines. The course is designed to enable you to gain experience in closed-form and numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations governing the behavior of single- and multiple-dimensional systems. You will have an opportunity to explore system responses due to impulse, step, sinusoidal, and general inputs. System response characteristics such as superposition, stability, resonance, amplification, and attenuation will be considered.
