The Laplace Transform as a tool in the solving of differential equations is introduced. First and second order initial value differential equations are examined in context with engineering terms and applications. Modeling of mechanical and electro-mechanical systems in frequency domain is introduced. Transient responses for first, second, and third order systems are examined. Using the mathematical models combined with computer techniques, analysis and design of feedback linear systems, and use of commercial computer software for control systems, are introduced. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): ME 226.3, [ME 251.3 (taken) or ME 113.3 (taken)], and MATH 224.3 (taken).
