This subject, 6.082 (soon to be renumbered 6.02 as part of our new curriculum for the Class of 2011 and beyond) is available to current students *now*, and is a great opportunity to experience unique and important material in a hands-on way --- and can be used for *department lab* credit or for *EC-x* (unrestricted engineering concentration elective) credit. Check it out!

Many students have noted the lack of a Communication and Signals Department Lab -- here's your chance! Or use it as your "X" elective.

Join us for the second run of a new EECS core course on the structure and design of communication systems. Using current communications technologies as examples, we?ll investigate analog and digital signaling, measures of information, the frequency and time domains, physical models of wired and wireless channels. Considering communications networks, we?ll talk about shared access, naming, transport, compression, security and authentication. Best of all, you?ll get to experiment with your own communication components and algorithms in the lab! 4 EDPs.
