Prerequisite(s): ECE 20100 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND ME 27500 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND MA 26400 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- Course Learning Outcomes 1. Develop a mathematical model generally consisting of ordinary differential equations for a given system. 2. Determine the equilibrium conditions, and where appropriate, obtain a linearized model for a nonlinear system. 3. Rearrange the equations that make up the system model in a new form suitable for an analytical solution and use them to build and simplify block diagrams. 4. Solution for a first order system by the method of time domain response. 5. Use Laplace transform method to find the time response, to determine the role of the transfer function on the system response, and where appropriate, to find the time constraints, damping ratios, and undamped natural frequencies. 6. Use a suitable software (i.e. Simulink - Matlab) to simulate and analyze the behavior of the dynamic systems. 7. Use block diagrams and computer simulations as aids in modeling and analysis of dynamic systems. View Class Schedule
