Course Catalog Description
This course and its follow-on course EECS16B focus on the fundamentals of designing modern information devices and systems that interface with the real world. Together, this course sequence provides a comprehensive foundation for core EECS topics in signal processing, learning, control, and circuit design while introducing key linear-algebraic concepts motivated by application contexts. Modeling is emphasized in a way that deepens mathematical maturity, and in both labs and homework, students will engage computationally, physically, and visually with the concepts being introduced in addition to traditional paper/pencil exercises. The courses are aimed at entering students as well as non-majors seeking a broad foundation for the field.

Time conflicts are not allowed for this class. If you are added to the waitlist and you qualify for the reserved seating, double-check to make sure that you do not have any time conflicts.
All reserved seats will expire at the beginning of the adjustment period (8/17/20).
***Email ee-scheduling@eecs.berkeley.edu for enrollment questions. See this 16A enrollment FAQ: https://eecs.berkeley.edu/resources/undergrads/faqs/EECS16A-enrollment ***
Lab 107 only has 7 open seats. This is on purpose as the rest of the seats in this lab are for CS scholars. (CS scholars: You will be enrolled in this lab before the adjustment period begins.)
We do not issue enrollment permission codes for this class. Any seats under the enrollment permission category are reserved for CS Scholars.
***Details on Mode of Instruction: ***
While the mode of instruction is "remote" there are many synchronous parts of the class where we expect students to participate. In particular, students will be expected to attend a lab section and a discussion section remotely on zoom at a specific time. Lab modules will require check-offs that can only be completed during the specified times assigned to the student. Students will be sent a lab kit that they can use to complete their labs at home and they will be guided through this during the lab sections. Discussion sections will likely have a completion element as well, we will update here once policies are finalized. Lectures will be recorded and can be viewed at any time. However, course conflicts are not permitted, and no accommodations will be made for students who have a final exam conflict due to enrolling in another class in the same exam group. show less
