ENGR 350 - Engineering Controls

3 Cr. Hrs.

Mathematical modeling, analysis, measurement, and control of dynamic systems; characterization and feedback control of linear time invariant (LTI) dynamic systems, classical feedback control theories will be emphasized. Time and frequency domain analysis of control systems; basic concepts of analyzing, predicting and specifying the performance of dynamic systems, including transfer functions, dynamic response, block diagram, stability notions and sensitivity. Feedback controller design via Root-Locus method; design of lead/lag compensation and PID controller. Characterization of open-loop frequency response using Bode plot to the analysis of closed-loop frequency response; gain-phase relationship, Nyquist stability criterion, and stability margin. Dynamic compensation to adjust frequency response and improve stability and performance will be introduced. Laboratory demonstrations of design and implementation of computer-based controllers.
