COURSE DESCRIPTION (3 hours lecture per week/3 credits): This course covers topics such as mathematical system modeling, feedback control, state-space variables, time domain and frequency domain analysis, and discrete time control. Students will learn how to analyze system and design it based on control concepts. Students will become familiar with analytical methods and exposed to computer software such Matlab and Simulink. Prerequisite: EGR 370, MTH 305, each with a grade of C or better TEXTBOOK AND MATERIALS Control Systems Engineering, Norman S. Nise, 6th ed., 2011, Wiley, ISBN 978-0470-54756-4 COURSE OBJECTIVES 1. Understand linear systems and fundamental principles of classical feedback control 2. Understand state variable analysis of linear dynamic systems 3. Learn system stability analysis, time-domain and frequency-domain analysis 4. Understand system modeling technique in Laplace-domain and state space form 5. Apply control theory to real world system to analyze stability and performance COURSE OUTCOMES 1. Know how to design compensator for a control system 2. Know how to use software to find transfer function and determine transient and steady state response of first and second order system in order to analyze stability and performance 3. Design system modeling of real system and demonstrate application of control theory to its analysis and control GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The course meets for lecture 1 hour and 15 minutes two times a week. Attendance is expected. Intellectual integrity is the most fundamental value of an academic community. Students and faculty alike are expected to uphold the highest standards of honesty and integrity in their scholarship. No departure from the highest standards of intellectual integrity, whether by cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or aiding and abetting dishonesty by another person, can be tolerated in a community of scholars. Such transgressions may result in action ranging from reduced grade or failure of a course, to expulsion from the University or revocation of degree. Rescheduling of a test will only be done under special circumstances (for example, medical emergency, academic trip, etc., based on instructors professional judgment) with an official letter, which is approved by instructor before the scheduled test date. No acceptance of late turn-in of any assignment and exam.

Solution Methods: Solutions to problems solved on assignments, tests and exams must be logical, so as to be understood by the students and professor. A standard solution approach will be required for assignment, test and exam problems to support clear and concise communication of information. A standard solution will include: design conditions (given), required solution, assumptions, formula, sketch (forces, angles, areas, key points) and answer (number substitution, units, and math) Attendance/Class Participation: Class attendance is required. Student cannot reasonably expect to master course materials without regular attendance and participation in class. Attendance is checked at class and it is not used for grading point but for supplemental data (for example, request from financial institute of applied students). Communication: Blackboard (BB) is the most critical communication tools. All assignments, exam announcement, solution, and grade are posted on BB so, it is students responsibility to do regular check of BB. It is recommended to check BB more than once a day. Self-Study Problem: Class-related in-depth problems are posted on BB with accompanying solutions. These problems are useful for students to understand principles and develop application skills, which couldnt be done completely at class hour. Students do not turn-in their solution. These problems are closely related with exams. Group Project: At class hour, students are provided with work sheet for project. For first twenty minutes, student solve project individually without discussion. For next twenty minutes, students are grouped to discuss problems together in order to find best solution. A leader of each group writes their solution on whiteboard. For last thirty minutes, solutions are sought together with instructor. Finally, students turn in work sheet at the end of class. Turned-in work sheet is applied for grading point (ref. Grading System below). This group activity is performed from five to ten times during this semester. This is implemented during class hour without pre-announcement. No acceptance of skipped group project under any circumstances. Three Mid-Exams: Before final exam, students are given mid-exam three times to evaluate his/her understanding. Among the three exam score, the lowest one is disregarded for grading point. Thus, only two mid exam scores are used for grading. Exam problems are closely related with self-study problem, group project, and lecture material. Final Exam: Final exam will be given during the final exam period scheduled for the course. The exact time/date is announced on BB based on universitys final exam schedule. Comprehensive final exam problems are closely related with self-study problems, group project, and lecture material. GRADING SYSTEM: Grades will be based on the following scale: 97-100 A+ 87-89 B+ 77-79 C+ 94-96 A 84-86 B 74-76 C 90-93 A80-83 B70-73 CFinal grades will be assigned using the proportional system shown below: Group Project 10% Mid Exam 1 25% Mid Exam 2 25% Final Exam 40% 67-69 D+ 64-66 D 60-63 D-
