COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Objectives: This course's objective is control system design mainly for single-input-single-output dynamical systems to improve their performance. This course covers basic control engineering topics including mathematical modeling (using transfer function and state variables), principles of control system design, Laplace transform, system's transient and steady state response, PID control design, root-locus, Bode diagram, polar-plot diagram, stability criteria, frequency response, and control design and analysis in frequency domain.
