To provide an analysis skill of the continuous-time signals
and systems as reflected to their roles in engineering
practice.
To expose students to both the time-domain and
frequency-domain methods of analyzing signals and
systems.
To illustrate the potential applications of this course as a
pre-requisite course to communication engineering and
principles, digital signal processing and control system.
