EEN-412
Credit Hours: 3+1
Pre requisite: Complex Variables and Transforms
Objectives: This is basic level course on classical control systems. The
objective of this course is to give the students firm grasp of
the essential principles of linear control systems. This course
covers techniques required for analysis and design of
controllers for linear time invariant systems in frequency
and time domains. The concept of stability, transfer
function, state-space, step-response, root-locus, Bode plots,
Nyquist theorem, RH stability criteria Root Locus design and
design via state space are covered.
Course Learning Outcomes CLO 1: (C3, C5): Acquire knowledge required for control
(CLOs): analysis of linear time-invariant control systems and apply
these given techniques to real-world problems.
Develop a mathematical model using input/output
Differential equations, Transfer Functions and State Space
for Linear Time Invariant electrical, mechanical systems,
rotational, system with gears and electro mechanical
systems.
CLO 2: (C4): Investigate the stability of Linear Time Invariant
complex engineering systems using Routh’s Criteria, Root
Locus, Bode plots and State Space analysis.
CLO 3: (C5): Develop the ability to design a compensator to
achieve desired closed loop response for a system using,
Root Locus, Bode plots and State Space.
CLO 4: (C5): Develop the ability to use Matlab/Simulink for
modeling and simulation of complex engineering systems.
