Catalog Data: Analysis of linear time-invariant feedback control systems. System modeling, time and frequency-domain response, stability and accuracy. Analysis by use of Root-Locus, Bode plots, Nyquist diagram
Prerequisites: EEL 3110 and EEL 3135 (Computer Engineering), or EEL
3112 (Electrical Engineering)
Textbook: Control Systems
Engineering by Norman S. Nise, Fifth
Edition, John Wiley & sons, Inc.
Course Objectives:
Give the students a general background in control systems that will permit them:
Topics Covered:
Course Outcomes
After finishing this course, the student will be capable of:
· applying his (her) knowledge of mathematics in analyzing linear control systems based on it components and the desired needs.
· designing linear control systems to meet the desired needs.
· Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems related to feedback control systems.
· showing an ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams.
· using techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice (MATLAB simulation)
Absence:
Students who are absent from class are responsible for all material covered that class. Any student who is absent during a class test will obtain a zero mark unless he/she is able to produce a documented excuse prior to the test.
The course grade will
be decided using the following weighing of the data:
Test # 1 25%
Test # 2 25%
Test # 3 25%
Project 25%
Tentative Schedule of
Tests
Test # 1: After activity # 10
Test # 2: After activity # 17
Test # 3: At the end of the semester
Missed Test:
Call Instructor BEFORE test time to notify of problem and to make special arrangements with instructor before next class. Make-up test BEFORE next class meeting or make special arrangements with instructor before next class.
Department Criteria
for Incomplete Grades:
An incomplete
grade is a temporary symbol given at the discretion of the instructor for work
not completed because of serious interruption not caused by the student’s own
negligence. An incomplete must be made up as quickly as possible, but no later
than two consecutive semesters after the initial taking of the course or it
will automatically default to an “F” or the grade that the student earned in
the course. There is no extension of the two semester deadline. The student
must not register again for the course to make up the incomplete. Students who
have incomplete grades on their records must remove the incomplete by the end
of the fourth week of the term in which they plan to graduate. Failure to do so
will result in a cancellation of graduation .
In such cases
where the course instructor determines that it appropriate to award a student a
grade of “I” (incomplete) the following steps must be followed.
Using an Official
University Form the course instructor will report the following:
1. The grade
earned by the student to date
2. The missing
work and the percentage of the final grade it represents (this requires the
details of the specific missing assignment)
3. The date the
instructor expects the missing work to be submitted or in the case of an
examination made up
4. The
justification for awarding the grade of “I”
5. Have the
student sign the form
6. Submit this
form to the Department Chair and Dean and maintain a copy for instructor
records and provide a copy for the student
7. Upon satisfying the requirements for a grade the instructor will sign off on the form and attach it to the change of grade form she or he will submit.
