信号与系统的基本概念与分析方法是通信、控制与信号处理领域重要的理论基础。随着现代科技的迅速发展,越来越多的学科会将信号与系统课程纳入本科教育培养方案。借助网络手段,笔者对美国麻省理工学院电气工程与计算机科学系所设置的“信号与系统”课程进行了调查研究,在此基础上,对课程的定位,以及课程基本信息、教学方法与基本要求、学生成绩评定等课程基本结构做客观的介绍,旨在为中国同类课程的教学改革提供可以借鉴的参考资料。

The basic concepts and analysis techniques of signals and systems are important fundamentals for communication, control and signal processing fields. With the rapid development of modern science and technology, it is sure that more and more disciplines will take the signals and systems course into their undergraduate eduactional programs. By means of the internet, we investigated the signals and systems course offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in MIT. The course orientation and the basic course structure including the basic information, teaching methods and basic requirements as well as grading were objectively introduced, which is an useful reference for the teaching reform of alike courses in our country.
