This course offered as an integrated course having theory and practice that gives hands-on training on MATLAB- Simulink and adequately supported by required hardware. From this course students can understand the principles and applications of control systems in daily life. This course deals with basic concepts of block diagram reduction, time domain analysis, and stability analysis of the system in frequency domain, time domain and state equations. This course also emphasizes the understanding and practical applications of PID controllers in the field of power electronics and power systems.
After the completion of the course, the student will be able to:
A6210.1. Develop the transfer function and state space models of dynamic systems.
A6210.2. Analyze time response performance indices of linear time invariant systems.
A6210.3. Apply Routh’s and Nyquist stability criterion to analyze and design feedback control systems.
A6210.4. Examine the performance of feedback control system by using graphical techniques.
A6210.5. Design the various compensators and controllers for time invariant systems.

Inform the instructor any time prior to the due date for an assignment that you wish to use a late day; you may then turn in the assignment up to 24 hours late. Multiple late days may be used on the same assignment. There are no partial late days; turning in an assignment 2 hours late or 20 hours late will both use 1 late day. Note that late days are intended to cover both normal circumstances (you simply want more time to work on the assignment) and exceptional circumstances. The late assignments will receive at most half credit.
Lab attendance is required.
It is my ultimate goal for this course, and my teaching, to develop your academic skills, advance your learning of electrical and electronics engineering concepts. To do so will require commitments from myself and from you toward meeting this goal.
I will be prepared and on time for class each day, ready to use class time to help you understand the course material. I will respectfully listen to, understand, and answer questions asked in class.
You are expected to attend class and actively participate in discussions every day, answering questions, asking questions, presenting material, etc. Your participation will be respectful of your classmates, both of their opinions and of their current point in their educational journey, as we each approach the material with different backgrounds and contexts.
I will keep office hours and be available for outside appointments, and respond to emails. I will provide feedback on group presentations, exams, projects, and homeworks.
You are encouraged to provide constructive comments for improving this course for furthering your learning throughout the semester. There will be an opportunity for anonymous course feedback at the end of the semester, in which I hope you all participate. Through your feedback I can improve this course and others for future students.
I will abide by the above syllabus and grade your work fairly.
