KON 313E - Feedback Control Systems

Course Objectives

1. Train students to analyze and design continuous linear control systems.
2. Train students to use control engineering tools like root-locus, frequency response methods, and state space representations.
3. To provide experience in using software packages to solve control problems.
4. To provide practice for developing critical thinking skills and solving open-ended problems.
