    This is a conceptual and introductory course in engineering process and career opportunities. Emphasis is placed on the design and creative process rather than intense mathematics modeling, using examples from different engineering disciplines. The engineering profession and its relation to current national, social, industrial, ethical, and international issues and problems will be discussed. Global energy issues such as the production and consumption of energy, alternative energy resources and engineering solutions will be used to connect engineering to our everyday lives and society. Students will learn how to develop the tools necessary to be successful in school and in industry by using theory and solving real world challenges. Speakers from different branches of engineering will present on a typical day in their lives. This course is designed for engineering majors.

    This course presents an overview of the nature of signals, the algorithms and techniques used to process those signals and the applications to which digital signal processing can be usefully put.Digital Signal Processing is concerned with developing and understanding of the concepts underlying digital signal processing. The concept, structure, organization and characteristics of signals are discussed with an examination of the spectrum of periodic signals and the frequency domain and the distinction between signal and noise, the causes of noise and the effects of noise and other factors on signalquality. Techniques for processing signals are examined including filtering and non-filtering processes. Architecture and algorithms for signal processing are presented;graphical and spectral analysis, fast Fourier transforms and the underlying concepts of digital signal processors. Example applications for digital signal processing are presented including communication signal processing, speech signal processing and sound signal processing.
