Abstract

Due to insufficient mathematical background, electrical and electronic engineering students may have difficulties in handling essential concepts and processes related to their field. For example, it has been observed that students find it difficult to comprehend topics such as Fourier analysis, noise, Maxwell equations and wave propagation etc. The article describes an attempt to approach such concepts in a two-step manner, first the topics are addressed in an introductory way (by means of particular, yet representative, examples and simple mathematics) and, when the students have got the necessary background and confidence, the topics are addressed in a more formal manner. As a case-study, the proposed approach has been applied to topics such as basic signal quantities, Fourier analysis, noise and chromatic dispersion in optical fibers.
