EG 4369 Control Systems - 3 semester hours
Introduction to the fundamentals of automatic control systems including the analysis and design of control systems for various engineering applications; Topics include modeling of physical systems using both transfer function and state space models. System responses; performance and design criteria; Control system characteristics; stability; sensitivity; steady state errors and transient response; Stability analyses using Routh-Hurwitz, Root-locus; Nyquist, and Bode methods; Lead and lag compensators and PID controllers design using root-locus method; Frequency-response analysis; MATLAB and SIMULINK are used to aid in the analysis and design of control systems; The laboratory work is designed to introduce the student to modern techniques needed for the design and implementation of automatic control systems. Prerequisite: EG3372 Signals and Systems.
