Control Systems

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the study of linear control systems, their behavior and design and use in augmenting engineering system performance. This is accomplished through classical control methods that employ the use of Laplace transforms, block diagrams, root locus, and frequency domain diagrams. Topics include: Laplace transform review, system modeling for control, fundamentals of time response behavior, stability analysis, steady-state error and design, feedback control properties, PID control, root locus analysis and design, and frequency response design.
