Prerequisites:
Calculus;
Linear algebra;
Circuit analysis.

This course is an introductory course on automatic control. It is designed for all overseas and local undergraduate students in Engineering. The main goal of the course is to provide the students with basic tools in modeling, analysis and design for linear feedback control systems.
On completion of this course students will be able to:

Develop mathematical models of mechanical, electrical and electromechanical systems.
Calculate and estimate the stability measures, error measures and time response measures from the analysis of mathematical models of some simple engineering systems.
Design and report the development of practical controllers and compensators in feedback control systems to achieve the desired behavior.
Solve real engineering problems with Matlab and Simulink.
The course consists of eight main parts as follows:

Part 1 (I1): Introduction to Control Systems
Part 2 (I2): Modeling in the Frequency Domain
Part 3 (I3): Time Response
Part 4 (I4): Reduction of Multiple Subsystem
Part 5 (I5): Stability
Part 6 (I6): Steady-State Error
Part 7 (I7): Root Locus Techniques
Part 8 (I8): Frequency Response Techniques
Part 9 (II1): Design via Frequency Response
Part 10 (II2): Digital Control Systems
Part 11 (II3): Nonlinear Control Systems
