Modules offered may vary.
This module introduces you to control system design techniques such as SISO, continuous systems (classical control theory), state-space systems, sample-data systems and non-linear systems. In addition, you learn practical techniques of creating linear dynamic models.
In laboratory work, you form small groups to work on a small engineering plant. You produce a model, carry out tests to establish parameters and design a controller so that the closed-loop system meets a given specification. This process enhances the theoretical work carried out in other parts of the module.
