This course is a combination of EE 350 material (a required EE course) and EE 380 (an EE elective). For EE majors, it wouldn't meet any degree requirements because it doesn't cover enough of EE 350 to count in lieu of EE 350 and it covers too MUCH EE 350 material to count in lieu of EE 380. This course could possibly be useful for students in other Engineering majors who want a quick exposure to control systems.
