An introduction to the analysis and representation of discrete-time signals. Explores aliasing, anti-aliasing filters, sampling continuous-time signals, quantization, and quantization noise.  Topics include Discrete-time convolution, difference equations, the z-transform, the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform, the Discrete Fourier Transform, the Fast Fourier Transform, and FIR and IIR filters.  Prerequisite: MAT 31044 Calculus III.

An introduction to the fundamentals of mechanical and electronic measurement and instrumentation.   Topics include instrument systems for measurements of pressure, temperature, displacement, force, strain, sound, vibration, and data collection and analysis to reinforce engineering concepts.  Prerequisite: EGR 30012 Engineering Lab I.

Basic concepts of the use of a microprocessor to control external devices is explored.  Topics include assembly language programming, digital logic, subroutines, stacks, input/output techniques, bus structure, sampling analog signals, A/D and D/A conversion, and digital filtering.  Prerequisites: EGR 40000 Digital Signal Processing and EGR 30012 Engineering Lab I; Co-requisite EGR 30003 Microprocessors.

An introduction to the principle concepts and methods of fluid motion.  Topics include pressure, control volume analysis, resistance of fluids, open-channel flow, fluid statics, and dimensional analysis. 

Capstone course in which students apply the skills acquired to the development of a technical solution to an open-ended problem.  Topics include problem statement, specification, design process, building, implementation, testing, and documentation including a written report.
