Control System

Course Description

The aims of the subject are to understand the purpose of a control system: to describe a general process for designing a control system: to handle the design gap effectively while accomplishing necessary trade-offs in complexity, performance, and cost in order to meet the design specifications: to encounter the modeling and control of modern, complex, interrelated systems such as traffic control systems, chemical processes, and robotic systems: to learn the foundations of feedback theory and linear system analysis, and it integrates the concepts of network theory and communication theory.

On the completion of the course, the student are expected to be able to understand and control segments of their environment, often called systems, to provide useful economic products for society: to control many useful and interesting industrial automation systems: to have the knowledge of the use of control design strategies for improving manufacturing processes, the efficiency of energy use, and advanced automobile control system.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Upon the successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

  • understand and control segments of their environment, often called systems.
