(Explanation: this represents a rough estimate of the time spent by an average student on the class. Your actual workload may be less or greater than the estimate (projects are open ended and the time commitment depends on how many candidate designs you develop and their complexity; if you get a hard-to-find bug in a matlab code in a HW it can slow you down a lot) . Federal regulations require 4 credit classes to exceed 180 hours)
