Spring 2026 Lecture Lower Division
This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of feedback control systems and their practical implementation. Students will learn modeling and simulations of linear/linearized dynamic systems, stability study, time domain analysis, frequency domain analysis, root-locus method, design of PID control, compensators, derivation of control law, and system performance analysis through hands-on exercises and simulations. The curriculum emphasizes applications of mechatronics, robotics, and mechanical/electrical engineering technology fields.
Learning Outcomes1Utilize the fundamental concepts for feedback control system design.
2Create mathematical models of dynamic systems.
3Analyze the performance of control systems through simulations.
4Optimize controller parameters for desired system behavior.
5Apply control theory to real-world engineering problems.
