Course Learning Objectives Mapped to ABET Goals
By the completion of this coure, stduents are expected to:

1. Contruct a mathematical model of a dynamic system that incorporates a control system (ABET Outcomes a, e, k, l, p)
2. Analyze the response of a controlled dynamic system (ABET Outcomes a, e, k, l, p)
3. Design single-input, single-output control systems (ABET Outcomes a, c, d, e, k, p)

Topics

• Dynamic system coupling (3 weeks)
• Time and frequency response of dynamic systems (3 weeks)
• Control system design methods (4 weeks)

Structure: 1 hour lecture four times per week
