Learning Outcomes By the end of the module students should be able to:
  • By the end of Semester 2 students should be able to:
  • Identify and describe the main control techniques used in industry.
  • Use the methods of physical modelling to develop math models for common engineering systems.
  • Evaluate time and frequency domain responses of transfer function models.
  • Relate closed-loop system behavior to the open-loop characteristics in the frequency domain
  • Design cascade compensation practical control systems
