Relationship to Program Outcomes:


This course relates to Program Outcomes 1, 3, and 5 as stated at:
http://www.eng.uci.edu/dept/objective_electrical.

Design Content Description:


1. The course focuses on developing a thorough understanding of
digital communication systems by using a series of specific examples
and problems. These illustrate and require the student to understand
analysis and design of modern digital communication systems.
2. The course focuses on design of basic digital communication systems
in building blocks. Specific examples include digital modulators,
receivers, optimum detectors, phase locked loops, synchronization
systems, and error correcting codes. These and other design
examples make up 50% of the lecture time and 50% of the
homework problems.

Approach:
Lectures: 100%
Laboratory Portion:

Grading Criteria: The grade in this course is based on homework, a midterm examination
and a final examination which are weighted as (10% Homework + 40%
Midterm + 50% Final). The homework is assigned weekly. Letter
grades are based on a curve about the median score, which is a B- grade.

Estimated ABET Category Content:


Engineering Science: 2 credit units or 67%
Engineering Design: 1 credit units or 33%
