student’s engineering habits of mind [8].New Course Notes & Pre-class Reading Quizzes:New PDF searchable course notes were co-developed by a senior undergraduate student assistantand the course instructor the summer before the course offering. Appendix A summarizes each ofthe topical areas of the course notes. The notes are built in complexity both in terms ofphysiological systems and mathematical concepts. The course notes assumed no prior knowledgeof System Characterization beyond the ability for students to identify if the system is open orclosed, and the extensive property of interest based on pre-requisite course knowledge. ChapterOne is focused on System Characteristics (i.e. Dynamic vs. Static, Casual, Time-Invariant, Linear,Stability
