A systems theory perspective of electronics in engineering education

We briefly review fundamental concepts related to systems theory and systems engineering. We also review and structure a list of important properties for an electronic system and paradigms and techniques applicable to analysis and design. Then we present two specific case studies, in which the systems theory approach to electronics engineering teaching and research has been very influential.
