Course Description
The course introduces the use of systems engineering to solve problems related to sustainability. After familiarizing students with Matlab as the computational environment of choice, the lab course will take a top-down problem-oriented approach to teach students basic concepts in data handling and systems thinking. The students will be introduced to problems, applications, and case studies flavored from a wide variety of modern engineering domains, in particular those related to water, agriculture, and the environment. Moreover, students will be exposed to guest lectures in sister domains (such as biomedical engineering) where systems thinking is equally effective. In dealing with problems from these domains, students will learn to use Matlab for applying basic signals and systems techniques such as system modeling, filtering and smoothing, time-frequency analysis, design optimization, and closed-loop control, to name a few.
