Details on Course Structure:

This course deals with a number of important new concepts. It builds on the basic mathematics courses of your first two years to develop a foundation for the analysis and design of engineering systems. It is important not only to understand the concepts, but also to be able to apply them in modeling and problem solving contexts. We believe the best way for you to learn and be able to use this material is to get as much first-hand, active experience with it as possible. To that end, this course will be combination of lecture segments and tutorial/labs in a sort of workshop/problem solving environment. We will use the lecture segments to introduce the ideas and set up the problems. You will then have the opportunity to work in the labs and tutorials to explore the ideas and solve the problems in a setting where you can get immediate help and feedback from the instructor as needed. Additional problems from the text, as will be given in the lectures, should be done as homework to further reinforce the material. Homework problems and their solutions will be posted on the course web page. Homework solutions will also be provided in the tutorial sessions. Quizzes will be given in class according to the schedule provided below. There will be a closed book midterm test during one of the two hour lectures and a 3-hour closed book final exam. All course related information, announcements and material such as course notes, lab instructions, handouts are available from Ryerson's BlackBoard system at: http://my.ryerson.ca/. The administration of this course will be in accordance with the terms, conditions, regulations and policies contained in the Ryerson 2013/2014 Calendar and the most recent edition of the Student Handbook published by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Please refer to theImportant Notes section for further information.

Laboratory Details: Pay attention to the weekly schedule of Labs (starting from second week)
Matlab Introduction Tutorial (2hrs) It is very important to attend the Week 2 Matlab tutorial scheduled for Week 2 and inform your TA of your lab partner. Signals and Systems Representations (4hrs) In this experiment, you Week (3-4) will work with simple Matlab functions and will explore some signals properties. Time-Domain Analysis of Continuous-Time Systems (4hrs)
In this experiment you will learn how to use M-files in Matlab, and exercise convolution and system properties.

Tutorial Note Chapter 1

Week (5-7)

Chapter 2

The Fourier Series (4hrs) The purpose of this experiment is to

investigate the Fourier Series while continuing to learn how to use Matlab effectively. General Fourier series characteristics will be investigated and Matlab functions that work with Fourier series will be developed. Also, the effects on the Fourier series coefficients due to changing the period of a periodic signal will be investigated, along with the effects of series truncation on signal reconstruction.

Week (8-9)

Chapter 6

The Fourier Transform (4hrs) In this experiment you will investigate

properties of the Fourier transform.

Week (10-12)

Chapter 7

BME532 Learning Objectives:

At the end of BME532, the successful student will be able to: 1. Select and perform strategies to generate information about continuous-time signals (properties such as power or energy finiteness) and systems (properties such as linearity, stability, causality) that may be used to modify, improve, or elaborate a design state (4h)

2. Analyze result of evaluation to detect if a continuous-time system is Linear Time-Invariant (LTI). To discern additional criteria. In case the system is LTI, additional characteristic of the system (impulse response of the system) is calculated to facilitate calculation and evaluation of the systems output (4f) 3. Learn frequency analysis of continuous-time signals and LTI systems and describe differences between Fourier transform and Fourier series analysis. Perform both Fourier transform and Fourier series in hypothetical design and analysis of signals and LTI systems (4d) 4. Illustrate concepts of continuous-time signals and systems through graphical presentation of their properties (7d) 5. Read and appropriately respond to technical and non-technical written instructions. Cites evidence to construct and support an argument. Produce four lab reports using appropriate format, grammar, and citation styles for technical and non-technical audiences (7a) Note: Numbers in parentheses (e.g. 10a) refer to the graduate attributes required by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.

IMPORTANT NOTE

1. All of the required course-specific written reports will be assessed not only on their technical/academic merit, but also on the communication skills exhibited through these reports. 2. All assignment and lab/tutorial reports must have the standard cover page which can be completed and printed from the Department website http://www.ee.ryerson.ca. The cover page must be signed by the student(s) prior to submission of the work. Submissions without the cover pages will not be accepted. 3. Should a student miss a mid-term test or equivalent (e.g. studio or presentation), with appropriate documentation, a make-up will be scheduled as soon as possible in the same semester. Make-ups should cover the same material as the original assessment but need not be of an identical format. Only if it is not possible to schedule such a make-up may the weight of the missed work be placed on the final exam, or another single assessment. This may not cause that exam or assessment to be worth more than 70% of the students final grade. If a student misses a scheduled make-up test or exam, the grade may be distributed over other course assessments even if that makes the grade on the final exam worth more than 70% of the final grade in the course. 4. Students who miss a final exam for a verifiable reason and who cannot be given a make-up exam prior to the submission of final course grades, must be given a grade of INC (as outlined in the Grading Promotion and Academic Standing Policy) and a make-up exam (normally within 2 weeks of the beginning of the next semester) that carries the same weight and measures the same knowledge, must be scheduled. 5. Medical or Compassionate documents for the missing of an exam must be submitted within 3 working days of the exam. Students are responsible for notifying the instructor that they will be missing an exam as soon as possible. 6. Requests for accommodation of specific religious or spiritual observance must be presented to the instructor no later than two weeks prior to the conflict in question (in the case of final examinations within two weeks of the release of the examination schedule). In extenuating circumstances this deadline may be extended. If the dates are not known well in advance because they are linked to other conditions, requests should be submitted as soon as possible in advance of the required observance. Given that timely requests will prevent difficulties with arranging constructive accommodations, students are strongly encouraged to notify the instructor of an observance accommodation issue within the first two weeks of classes. 7. The results of the first test or mid-term exam will be returned to students before the deadline to drop an undergraduate course in good Academic Standing. 8. Students are required to adhere to all relevant University policies including: - Undergraduate Grading, Promotion and Academic Standing, http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol46.pdf - Student Code of Academic Conduct, http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol60.pdf - Student Code of Non-Academic Conduct, http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol61.pdf - Undergraduate Academic Consideration and Appeals, http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol134.pdf - Examination Policy, http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol135.pdf - Accom.of Student Relig., Abor. and Spir. Observance, http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol150.pdf - Est.of Stud. Email Accts for Official Univ. Commun., http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol157.pdf 9. Students are required to obtain and maintain a Ryerson Matrix e-mail account for timely communications between the instructor and the students. 10. Any changes in the course outline, test dates, marking or evaluation will be discussed in class prior to being implemented. 11. In-class use of cellular telephones is not permitted. Please turn off your cell phone prior to class. 12. Assignments, projects, reports and other deadline-bound course assessment components ha handed in past the due date will either receive a reduced mark or ZERO. Marking information will be made available at the time when such course assessment components are announced
