Automatic Control Systems
The first course in control systems introduces: Introduction to feedback control systems, Block Diagram Representation , Signal Flow Graph, Analyzing the performance of control systems either in open or closed loops, transient-response analysis and steady state error analysis, basic control actions (PID), tuning methods of PID controller, Steady State Error analysis, stability analysis through the Routh-Hurwitz. Software simulation primarily with MATLAB and laboratory experiments will complement and supplement the theory.
Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying engineering fundamentals, basic science and mathematics. Practice research techniques and methods of investigation as an inherent part of learning. Plan, supervise and monitor implementation of engineering projects. Analyze mechatronic system using scientific, mathematical and computer-based models and asses the limitations of particular cases. Identify and classify the performance of mechatronic systems and components through the use of analytical methods and Modeling techniques.
