Topics include mathematical modeling of control elements and systems, performance analysis, stability assessment and system compensation. Both time domain and frequency domain techniques are used. Multivariable processes are discussed using state-space models. Controller design methods specific to phase lead/lag compensators are presented using root-locus and frequency response. Control-law design using state-space is discussed. MATLAB control tools are used in computer simulations and in various analyses of control systems. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 1 Tutorial hoursPrerequisite(s): (EP 214 and EE 265) or (EP 320 and MATH 331) Note: Students with credit for EE 481 will not receive credit for this course.
