Spring 2026 Laboratory Recitation Lecture Distance Learning Upper Division
This course builds on the measurement, system modeling, and system/analysis fundamentals introduced in ME 36500 (Systems, Measurements and Control I), with an emphasis on closed-loop feedback control theory and design. The mathematical tools necessary for analyzing closed-loop stability and performance (e.g., steady-state error, transient performance characteristics) are presented. Pole placement, root locus, and frequency domain methods are used to design feedback control algorithms. Hands-on assignments are utilized to reinforce fundamental systems, measurement, and control concepts, including the implementation of control algorithms in simulation and on physical hardware.
Learning Outcomes1Introduce a systematic and unified system level modeling of lumped dynamic systems in different domains using first principles. (A2, A3)
2Provide necessary mathematical tools for analyzing and predicting the performance of an engineered system based on its dynamic response. (A2, A3)
3Provide an introductory treatment of designing feedback controllers to achieve closed-loop stability and specified system performance. (A2, A3)
