Learning outcomes of the course unit

The students will be able to
• understand open/closed loop control system
• obtain a transfer function and state space model analytically from various dynamic systems
• perform system identification
• analyze the system response in the time domain, and frequency domain
• linearize nonlinear systems by applying the Taylor series expansion
• design analog and discrete controllers
• utilize a computer-aided software (i.e. MATLAB) in the context of simulation and design of a controller for continuous and discrete systems

Course contents

• Frequency domain methods
