Engineering Systems Analysis Instructor & Contact Information Dr. John Smith, Professor of Electrical Engineering Course Description This 3 credit course provides students with the mathematical foundation for the System Engineering Program. It will address the fundamentals of mathematical tools that are part of the System Engineering Program. The topics covered are both linear and nonlinear differential as well as vector and matrix algebra. Students will learn to recognize the types of differential and the proper method to use and to solve them. Vector algebra deals with the basics of vector spaces and matrix algebra will cover matrix manipulations. Learning Objectives Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to: Describe, using real world examples, the role of differential in engineering Recognize the various types of differential, and execute the appropriate method to arrive at a solution for each type Determine the analytical solution for each class of differential Describe, using real world examples, the role of linear algebra in engineering Carry through the process of using of linear algebra to perform matrix manipulation Required Text(s) and Materials Michael D. Greenberg, Applied Engineering Analysis 2nd Edition, Prentice Hall 1998. ISBN: 0133214311 Course Policies All course material is available to you on CourseWorks. I will be posting to the course bulletin board information to remind you what is available and what you should be working on. Material is provided on a lesson by lesson basis, and is presented to you as Web pages, Microsoft Word documents (.doc), or Portable Document Format (PDF). Material that you submit for course will be placed in the appropriate module on CourseWorks. Class Participation There will be discussion boards for students to discuss among themselves different aspects of the course, and I will participate in the discussions when it is appropriate. I encourage people to work together on homework assignments. Use the discussion board to post your questions and
to read the responses from your classmates. Exams are on an individual basis. Any questions on exams should be directed to me. I will add information to the exams if there many students are experiencing particular problems. Assessment / Grading Homework assignments will be given weekly. Due dates will be specified in the course calendar, but are typically due one week later. Homework will constitute 20% of your final grade. Doing the homework promptly and carefully is necessary for learning the material. A reasonable amount of collaboration with fellow students is allowed and encouraged on homework. However, each student must turn in his or her own written work which reflects his or her own understanding of the material. Exams : Two take home tests will be given. You will have as a minimum 2 weekends of time to complete the exam. You are expected to work alone on this exam, and are free to use whatever material that you have your disposal. Late exams will not be accepted unless there are mitigating circumstances. Each exam is worth 40% of your grade.
