| | 5. | COURSE OBJECTIVES |
| | 1. Provide introductory, fundamental concepts in feedback control systems, design and analysis techniques (Criterion 3(c)). |
| | |
| | 2. Students will apply knowledge gained in mathematics, physical sciences and engineering courses to derive mathematical |
| | models of typical engineering systems to be controlled (Criterion 3(a)). |
| | 3. They will learn the roles of the control engineers in multi-disciplinary teams, they will hopefully learn how to identify, |
| | formulate and solve control problems (Criteria 3(d),(e),(k)). |
| | 4. Hopefully they will gain experience in technical writing, and improve communication skills (Criterion 3(g)). |
