ECE 2026 is a 3 credit class with a lab requirement. It is a requirement for both electrical engineering and computer engineering majors.[1] The course emphasizes discrete-time signal processing and linear, time-invariant systems. MATLAB is used for all labs in order to create examples of linear, time-invariant systems.
