Aims and Scope


Control components, development of block diagrams for control systems,
analysis, and computer simulations.  Four design methods: pole placement,
model matching, root-locus, and Bode-plot methods.  Models will be chosen to 
minimize quadratic performance index, ITAE, or by computer simulation.

Computer


MATLAB is available in CAD Lab (Room 281, Light Engineering). How to use
MATLAB will be discussed in the class.  You are 
expected to do some problems in MATLAB.
