Control Systems

Course Objectives

The aims of this course:

  • To help students understand the modern control system and their role in society.
  • To understand the mathematical model of systems.
  • To understand the differences between controlling the transient response and the steady-state response of a system.
  • To explain the concepts of stability of dynamic systems.
  • To describe the Root Locus Concept.
  • To understand the Frequency Response Methods.
  • To understand the Fuzzy Logic.
  • To learn about MATLAB programming.

Learning Objectives

The successful completion of this course, Student will be able to:

  • Give illustrative examples of control systems and describe their relationship to key contemporary issues.
  • Recognize that differential equation can describe the dynamic behavior of physical systems.
  • Utilize linearization approximations through Taylor series.
  • Explain the central role of error signals in analysis of control systems.
