This is the lab component of EET 315. Emphasis is on measurement and analysis of communications signals and evaluation of communication systems.

Theory of communications systems utilizing digital signals. Includes coding, multiplexing, digital modulation, information codes, and error detection codes.

This course is the laboratory component for EET 413 lecture. Students will design, build, and troubleshoot such circuits and systems as modulators, transceivers, line coders, multiplexers, fiber optics and data acquisition systems.

This is the first of a two-course capstone experience. Students will develop a career portfolio, review soft skills, and gain approval for a formal proposal for a senior project. The project will be completed in the second course in the sequence.

This is the second of a two-course capstone experience. Students will build the project approved in the first course and complete their project with the requirement of project presentation.
