You may select one or more of these modules.
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.
