Practical examples used information and communication technologies in study of "Signals and Systems"

The study of Signals and Systems is one of the basic subjects of study at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. For a better understanding of this subject, it is necessary for the students to connect theory with the practical examples. The introduction of new technologies discloses great opportunities for a high-quality organization of the study. The purpose of this paper is to shows in detail two examples where theory is linked to practice in order to achieve a better education. The examples have been chosen according to the criteria of proximity, comprehension and actuality. We assume that the majority of students taking Signals and Systems have a basic knowledge of electronics and an elementary everyday understanding of economics. This paper therefore portrays a simple electronic amplifier as the first example and a game based on a simplified economic interaction as the second example of the application of the theory of signals and systems. This is going to show how to bring the theory closer to the students through practical examples by means of ICT.
