EE 581 - Fuzzy Set and Applications

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course introduces students to the basic concepts of modeling uncertainty in systems through the use of fuzzy sets. The underlying concepts of fuzzy sets are introduced and their role in such applications as semantic interpreters, control systems and reasoning systems is presented. Students gain firsthand experience of fuzzy sets through a class project. (prereq: Senior standing in CE, EE, or SE)
