Goals
This course is designed to give junior Electrical Engineering
students an introduction to the analysis and design of control systems
and its applications.
Topics
- Basic definitions and classifications of control systems.
- System representations: Block diagrams and signal flow graphs.
- Mathematical models of mechanical and electrical systems.
