ME 33300 - Automatic Control Systems


Analysis and design of control systems, from modeling and computer solutions to stability and performance issues with an orientation toward electrical and mechanical systems. Classical control system concepts are emphasized but an introduction to modern techniques is also provided.

Preparation for Course
P: ME 33100.

Cr. 3.
Student Learning Outcomes
1. This is an introductory course in control systems.  The aim is to provide both ME and EE students with the background needed to model and design automatic control systems for electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical systems using the classical concepts of root locus, Bode plots, and Nyquist diagrams, and to assess the stability and performance of such systems.  An introduction to the state space techniques is also provided.  Matlab and Simulink are used as the primary computer aided design tools for control systems.  Multidisciplinary team projects will be assigned.
