Course Prerequisites

Prereq: 551 or grad standing.

3. PREREQUISITES BY TOPIC

Signals and systems (step and impulse responses, pole-zero diagrams, transfer functions, Bodeplots); a minimal knowledge

of classical design of feedback control systems (basic principles of feedback, typical performance objectives, PID

controllers, and stability).

5. COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. Students will apply knowledge gained in basic mathematics, physical sciences and engineering courses to derive

mathematical models of typical engineering processes (Criterion 3(a)).

2. They will hopefully learn the role of a control engineer in multi-disciplinary teams (Criterion 3(d)).

3. The course will show how to characterize modeling uncertainty, and formulate and solve robust controller design

problems (Criterion 3 (c),(e)).

4. The course will provide an in-depth presentation of control system analysis and design tools, with emphasis on computer

aided design (Criterion 3(k)).
