ES 201 Systems II

First and second order systems, e.g. RC/RLC circuits, population dynamics, will be observed and modeled in a lecture and lab based course to further understanding of systems thinking as a generalizable methodology applicable in a wide range of engineering and other contexts. Laboratory exercises will further student understanding in the applicability and limitations of modeling system behavior. Data acquisition methods and MATLAB will be used to measure, analyze, and simulate system behavior. Statistical methods are introduced.
