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.

Software Usage

MATLAB with Control System Toolbox (https://www.mathworks.com/products/control.html)
