• Knowledge of the lecture content is recommended for a successful participation in the workshop. But, usually, passing the written exam is not a prerequisite for taking part in the workshop. Vice versa, the attendance of the workshop is also not a prerequisite for taking part in the exam.
• The following applies to students of the Bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (ETIT), Mechatronics and Information Technology (MIT) as well as Biomedical Engineering:
  According to the module handbook, the module "Signals and Systems" consists of two parts. The first part of the module, corresponding 7 ECTS, comprises the lecture and the tutorial with the corresponding written exam in the winter semester. The second part is the course  "Signals and Systems - Workshop", corresponding 1 ECTS, in the summer semester. Thus, the entire module "Signals and Systems" corresponds a total of 8 ECTS.
• Students of other degree programs, please refer to your respective module handbook to see which parts make up the module applicable to your degree program.

An important aspect of the study of electrical engineering and information technology is programming, which is prerequisite in the further course of the studies. During this laboratory, the students get in touch very early with the programming of embedded systems and signal theory in general. The contents include getting to know the microcontroller hardware basics such as embedded programming, control of peripheral units (IO ports, AD converters) and data acquisition and processing. In the field of signal processing, important aspects of signal theory such as the composition of signals from sinusoidal signals (Fourier series), the sampling theorem or quantization are linked to practice. Finally, the knowledge will be used to perform a real-time analysis of audio signals.
