RELEVANT COURSEWORK
Robotics I
Studied the mathematical tools and methods to model and control robotic movement in three dimensional
space with an emphasis on the use of Matlab for control algorithms.
Constructed a three-link planar robot arm and used a microcontroller to implement control algorithms to
move the arm to specified locations while avoiding obstacles.
Engineering Probability
Studied the applications of the key concepts of probability and statistics to electrical and computer
engineering problems.
Money and Banking
Studied the monetary roles of financial institutions in the economy and the trends in economic and
organizational aspects of these financial institutions.
Studied macroeconomic theory in relation to fiscal policy aimed at reducing problems of inflation and un-
employment.
Studied the mathematical tools used to analyze the trading of financial assets and analyze risk of financial
assets.
Signals and Systems
Studied the complex mathematics related to time and frequency domain analysis of signals, how systems act
on signals (i.e. low pass filters, frequency and time modulation), how to design systems for certain tasks
through signal filtering, and converting between continuous and discrete time signals.
