Indicators (SPIs) -
SPIs are a subset of the abilities a student will be able to demonstrate upon successfully completing the course.
Outcome 1 (Students will demonstrate expertise in a subfield of study chosen from the fields of electrical engineering or computer engineering): 1. Solve linear, time-invariant differential equations. 2. Model physical systems by the state-space approach. 3. Analyze reachability, controllability and observability of linear systems. Outcome 2 (Students will demonstrate the ability to identify and formulate advanced problems and apply knowledge of mathematics and science to solve those problems): 1. Design feedback controllers for closed-loop stability and eigenvalue assignment. 2. Design Luenberger observers for output feedback. Outcome 3 (Students will demonstrate the ability to utilize current knowledge, technology, or techniques within their chosen subfield): N/A
