How to Succeed

 

  • Accept that it is your responsibility to learn the material (in spite of the book or teacher)
  • Show up and become engaged with the topics
  • Your main homework assignment is to watch the video to understand the topic in advance so that you can collaborate in the class activities
  • Use you resources for help (internet, classmates, upperclassmen, faculty, the library)

 

Course Learning Objectives:

Conceptual:

  • To learn how to model the system to be controlled in terms of a transfer function
  • Understand the system’s behavior from the transfer function
  • Learn how to use the feedback and a controller to alter the behavior of the system as desired

ABET CLOs:

  1. Evaluate Laplace and Inverse Laplace Transformations.
  2. Understand how to get the transfer function (TF) of a physical system
  3. Identify specifications of a transient response of a second order system. (maximum overshoot, rise time, peak time, settling time)
  4. Determine the stability of the system using Routh’s stability criterion.
  5. Analyze a system error related to a transient response of a control system.
  6. Design a control system using basic control actions. (P., PI., PD., and PID control)
  7. Design a control system using root-locus method.
  8. Sketch Bode plots and use it for system identification and stability.
  9. Use Nyquist diagram to determine the stability of a closed loop system.
  10. Model and analyze the control systems in state space.
  11. Use MATLAB to study a linear system
