for Engineering Education, 2019 Laboratory Exercises for Signals and SystemsAbstract:Signals and systems is a course that introduces students to mathematical concepts that are used toanalyze systems or signals. In Wentworth Institute of Technology signals and systems was taughtin the conventional way using lecture and readings to explain the theory and by assigning paper-based problem sets of theory and math. Conceptual understanding of the course content remaineda challenge for many undergraduate students. A series of laboratory exercises was developed tohelp students visualize the complex mathematical concepts and gain a better appreciation forhow the concepts are useful in real-world situations. Some of the exercises
