for Engineering Education, 2016 Communication Systems Theory for Undergraduate Students using MatlabAbstractCommunication theory is one of the subjects that is mathematically intensive and involvesmemorizing numerous equations. This paper describes the use of Matlab and Simulink inteaching communication theory for undergraduate students. The objective of this approach is toprovide an intuitive understanding of the theory without deeply sinking into derivations offormulae. Signal filtering is an inevitable step in every communication system. Generally, filtertheory is a standalone course offered to graduate level students. Using amplitude modulation as acase study, usage of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is discussed in this paper. Frequency

IntroductionMaterial science is an extremely diverse body of knowledge, comprised of conceptsranging from quantum level interactions between atoms, to explanations of the effects ofindustrial processes on material properties. Central to the understanding of these conceptsis the ability to visualize and reason about the somewhat abstract three-dimensionalarrangements of atoms that make up the structure of materials
