| | 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). |
| | Courses that require this as a direct prerequisite |

| | 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)). |
