ECE 313 (also cross-listed as MATH 362) is an undergraduate course on probability theory and statistics with applications to engineering problems primarily chosen from the areas of communications, control, signal processing, and computer engineering.

 

EE and CompE students must complete one of the two courses ECE 313 or Stat 410.

Credit: 3 hours.

Graduate students in the ECE Department cannot receive unit credit for ECE 313.

Prerequisite: ECE 210


 

About This Section

This section has separate homework and exams from the other sections (A, B, C, D and E). While all sections will cover the same theoretical material, the sections A, B, C, D and E are the standard ECE 313, whereas this section, which is strongly recommended for computer engineering majors, will consider many examples from computer system performance, reliability, and network performance analysis, and the like. Through student projects, the class will be introduced to hands-on measurements and analysis of computer systems and networks. Analysis of the data thus gathered will introduce students to the whys and wherefores of real-life statistical problems in the reliability and performance analysis of computer systems and networks, and their solution.
