Course Summary: This course introduces the basics of systems, modeling and control.  Focusing on linear and time-invariant systems, this course provides analytical tools to evaluate stability and performance (transient and steady state response) of those systems.  It considers systems represented in frequency domain (transfer function) as well as time-domain (differential equations, state-space representations). Various design tools are taught including PID controllers.

 Course Objectives: The objectives of this course are

1. to acquaint the students  with basic methods of modeling of electrical,  mechanical and other dynamic systems.
2. to introduce analysis techniques of linear time-invariant systems (LTI) in both time-domain and frequency-domain.
3. to introduce control techniques to design a feedback control system in both time-domain and frequency-domain.
4. to provide graphical analysis and design tools such as  pole zero maps, block diagram reduction,  Bode Plots, Root Locus  –  all applied to examples of real-world systems.
5. to instill simulation (eg. Simulink, MATLAB) and hardware skills with application to control engineering.
