CET 4864 Principles of Feedback Control Systems
Introduction to feedback control theory concepts (positive and negative). Transient and steady-state analysis using Laplace transforms. Bode plots and stability criteria. Lab work includes the use of mathematical analysis and simulation.
This course introduces students to the theory and practice of control systems engineering.
The text used emphasizes the practical application of the subject to the analysis and
design of feedback systems.
The study of control systems engineering is essential for students pursuing
degrees in electrical, mechanical, aerospace, biomedical, or chemical engineering.
Control systems are found in a broad range of applications within these disciplines,
from aircraft and spacecraft to robots and process control systems.
Control Systems Engineering is suitable for upper-division college and university
engineering students and for those who wish to master the subject matter
through self-study. The student using this text should have completed typical lower division courses in physics and mathematics through differential equations. Other
required background material, including Laplace transforms and linear algebra, is
incorporated in the text, either within chapter discussions or separately in the
appendixes or on the book’s Companion Web site. This review material can be
omitted without loss of continuity if the student does not require it.
