EE2010 Systems & Control : Part A

This is a first course in systems and control engineering for all Electrical and Computer Engineering students. It is generally taken by students in their 2nd or 3rd year of study.

The aim of the course is to provide students a good understanding of systems and their behaviour. Electrical circuits and control systems will be used as examples to illustrate systems concepts. The module is important in laying the foundation for other higher level signals and systems related courses that are important in the ECE curriculum. Topics covered include time and frequency domain descriptions of systems, properties of linear time invariant systems, stability, principles of feedback, control systems analysis, and design of simple controllers.

• Be able to develop mathematical models of dynamic systems (electric circuits).
• Be competent in time and frequency domain description and analysis.
• Be able to develop and analyse models of simple interconnected systems.
• Understand the principles of feedback and stability.
• Understand the benefits of feedback.
• Understand the criteria for control system performance.
• Able to perform simple control systems design.

• Modern Control Systems
