LEARNING OUTCOMES
The course introduces the student to the basic theory of linear dynamical systems and automatic control. Upon successful completion of the course the student will be in position to:
- Identify dynamical systems and their basic characteristics
- Develop differential equation and state space models of common mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and other systems
- Analyze the properties of a system and compute responses using the Laplace Transform
- Analyze closed loop feedback control systems
- Suggest controllers and design closed loop control systems of various topologies for meeting set specifications
Execute the above in a proper simulation environment, such as MATLAB/SIMULINK.
