Content: Topics covered include: physical system modeling; feedback control system design; introduction of design tools such as PID, root-locus, loop shaping, and pole placement; stability and performance analysis of feedback control systems; real world problem solving using control theory.
Objectives: This course is designed to give students the ability to
· Understand the operation of feedback control systems;
· Analyze the behavior of existing control systems;
· Design feedback controllers for such systems using one of several design methodologies so that given performance specifications are met;

Homework: Homework is a major learning tool in this course. Homework assignment will be passed out and collected on every other Monday. NO LATE HOMEWORK will be accepted. The homework will be graded. However, the homework grade will NOT be counted towards final grade.
Projects: Students are required to finish three Matlab/Simulink-based projects independently before the end of this semester. The projects will be collected on the dates specified in project assignments. NO LATE PROJECTS will be accepted. Students need to include Matlab codes or Simulink model and simulation results into the project reports. Students must print and sign their names on the first page of their project reports.
Exams: Mid-term and final exams are scheduled on course outline. All exams are closed book and closed note with time limits strictly enforced.
Quizzes: There are two in-class quizzes. The time of each quiz will be announced in class at least one week prior to the quiz. All quizzes are closed book and closed note with time limits strictly enforced.
Class Policies:
Attendance:
Students are expected to attend ALL classes. If a student must be absent due to university business or illness, the student is obliged to contact the instructor PRIOR to the absence or tardiness. The instructor reserves the right to limit the quality/quantity of out-of-class assistance to students with excessive absences. If a student misses one third of classes, he/she will automatically FAIL this course.
Make-ups:
No "make-up" work for missed assignments (homework and projects) will be given.
No provisions are made for missing the Midterm or Final Exams, excepting a Doctor's written verification that the student was unable to attend due to serious injury or illness. This verification will be confirmed.
No make-up quiz will be given only except that a timely (within one class period) and acceptable written excuse is presented to the instructor beforehand. Excuses normally will be accepted for personal illness or serious family emergencies only, and require immediate (within 24 hours) notification of the instructor.
Cheating:
Under no circumstances should any two project reports (or any other assignments and test papers) be identical or overtly similar. Group work is encouraged, however, every person must present their own work for credit. Everyone with the materially identical work will receive a grade of zero on that assignment or tests. CSU policies on Academic Misconduct will be strictly followed.
