Objectives and Contents
Objectives of the Course Unit	To learn basic control system modelling and analysing techniques
Contents of the Course Unit	Introduction to control: open loop and closed loop control. Modelling: transfer function, block diagram, signal flow graph, state equations. Feedback control system characteristics: sensitivity, disturbance rejection, steady-state error. Performance specifications: second-order system, dominant roots, steady-state error of feedback systems. Stability: Routh-Hurwitz criterion, relative stability. The root locus method. Frequency response methods: Bode diagram, performance in the frequency domain, Nyquist stability criterion, gain margin and phase margin, Nichols chart.
Contribution of the Course Intending to Provide the Professional Education	This is an introductory course on control systems for engineering students. The subject of control systems is highly multidisciplinary: with strong foundations in engineering and mathematics, and extensive usage of computer software and hardware, it is about the ability to address and solve problems in a variety of disciplines, ranging from aeronautical to electrical and chemical engineering, to chemistry, biology and economics. The course is designed with this nature of the subject in mind. The aim is to present the concepts of feedback control theory. This is done by giving a clear exposition of the basic principles of frequency and time-domain analysis techniques, and also by introducing the student to the notion of computer-aided analysis.
