This course provides the foundational skills required to model and analyze elementary dynamic engineering systems. The course will focus on basic mechanical, electrical, thermal and hydraulic systems under the assumptions of linearity and time invariance. Students will learn to identify relevant elements and generate system models. System behaviours will be analyzed by solving for such responses as the impulse response, step response, and sinusoidal steady-state response using differential equations, Laplace transform methods, and computer-based methods. The relationship of such system parameters as time constant, degree of damping and resonance frequencies with the transient and steady-state responses will be examined. The complex valued system transfer function will be defined and analyzed.
