This is a course for non-electrical engineering majors that explores both theoretical and practical aspects of designing electronic systems. First, the course investigates conversion between digital and analog signals, an essential operation for almost all battlefield information systems. Next, the course covers the engineering science (tools and techniques) required to analyze and design communication, signal processing, control and power systems. Simultaneously, we introduce simulation as an essential part of the design process. Finally, cadets complete the conceptual phase and either simulation or implementation of an electronic system design that has military relevance.
