Course Objectives

This course aims to establish a strong knowledge base for students on the principles and theories of feedback control systems. Throughout the course, students will develop a profound understanding of fundamental concepts like feedback loops, error signals, stability, and performance metrics. By the end of the course, students will have a solid grasp of these essential elements, enabling them to analyze and design effective feedback control systems with confidence.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Recognize the fundamental concepts of open-loop and closed-loop feedback systems,
(2) Express the mathematical models of dynamical systems using transfer functions and block diagrams,
(3) Utilize the Root locus method to investigate control systems,
