§ Undergraduate Courses
EECE 461 Control Systems I, Fall/ Spring semester
(3,0,3). This
course provides an introduction for electrical
engineering seniors to mathematical modeling of physical systems and feedback
control philosophy, which can be used to design single-input/single-output
control systems and to realize desirable transient and frequency response
Co-req:
EECE 444, Pre-Requisites: ENGR 218 and EECE260, both with a minimum grade of C.
Target skills:
-
To
be able to analyze the dynamic behavior of a continuous time invariant system
both in the time domain and in the frequency domain.
-
To
be able to evaluate a given system’s performances (transient behavior, type,
stead-state error, step response parameters ....)
-
To
be able to synthesize a control system to meet given design specifications.
-
To
be able to assess the performance of a control design as applied to a given
plant.
-
To
be able to assess and evaluate the performance of a given system using Matlab before and after the controller synthesis.
